The text states that it is essential that superintendents and school board members communicate effectively to find the best solutions to problems. Effective communication requiring everyone to be heard in an honest and forthright exchange of viewpoints has proven to be best for children. Therefore report on Curriculum by Dr. Byron Haynes and reports on start of the year were given by Principal J. Griffin, Principal B. Cleark and Principal M.

Parent involvement is key to a child’s academic success; this can be accomplished through the parent’s participation in an advisory council. A parent-teacher organization meets regularly to discuss the workings of the school and the parents that take part in the meeting are rewarded with a voice to make suggestions and give active feedback to the school. This enables parents and teachers to discuss matters dealing with the education of their child. Another council that advocates the voice of parents is the Mississippi Read

With confidence, the Rolla Public School District is here to not only improving student learning, but to guide students directly. Our responsibility is to provide parent and community involvement so our students can learn effectively. Committing to students is important because they rely on the faculty such as our educators assessing them properly. We believe that our students should deserve high-quality educators because “it is the most important school-related factor influencing student achievement” (Rice, 2003, para.1). Rolla Public School’s allow our students to set goals and our educators help them achieve them by the proper guidance.

I am quite fortunate to work at a site that I was able to be part of creating our school’s vision. Lorena Falasco Elementary School’s mission statement is: “In partnership with our community, Lorena Falasco Elementary School is committed to creating a safe and positive environment with high expectations that encourage success and lifelong learning for everyone.” With that in mind, parent education and involvement are crucial for a school to be successful in doing so. At this time I am co-leading a parent education class that is being held at Lorena Falasco Elementary School we have completed seven of the eight workshops. The parenting workshop combines parenting and leadership skills that will empower parents to become vital contributors to their children’s academic success. There are eight workshops that we will present, which will create parent leaders and also provide positive

Busch Middle School of Character had a wonderful sense of community, each student, instructor, and family, made sure they were doing their part. I believe it’s important for educators to understand the needs of the families and community of their students because the more resources the better. When schools actively involve parents

Every school district has board meetings throughout the school year. Unfortunately, many parents, community members, & school personnel do not attend such important meetings because they don’t realize or understand the importance of such board meetings or how informative they can be. According to Kankakee School District (2017), the Kankakee School District Board of Education is composed of seven elected members, who were elected by the citizens of Kankakee to serve a four-year term that do not receive no salary for they services, are committed to ensuring a quality of educational excellence that will enhance the opportunities and challenges facing today’s student and additional responsibilities that board members include are selection of the District superintendent, developing general polices according to wishes of the community and requirements of law, hiring school personnel based upon recommendation of the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent of Personnel, adopts salary schedules, approves funds to finance school operations, must adopt and review the annual operating budget for the District, and setting the property tax levy to produce adequate funds to meet the District’s financial needs ranks among the responsibilities of the Board of Education (Retrieved from https://www.ksd111.org/domain/68). For this paper, the Kankakee School District board meeting will be used, information learned from board meeting, use of

Understanding the importance of a family-school partnership is essential in order for school districts and families with children to grow and strive. If an imbalance occurs within any of the various parts that play a key role, difficulties will rise to the surface. Several of these roles include: communication, decision making, volunteering, and learning and parenting at home. All of these factors must work together in order to create a successful school environment in which children are able to learn and strive. When a school is successful in fulfilling each of these roles, there are several benefits. These benefits include: better positive attitudes toward school, higher achievements, better attendance, higher graduation rates, an increase in enrollment rates in post-secondary education, and overall better schools to attend (University of West Virginia).

Recently, I read an article by Jen Orr called “Raising Our Teacher Voices: A Call for A New Generation of Leadership”. Ms. Orr is a teacher in nearby Fairfax County who was chosen as a 2013 ASCD Emerging Leader. Consequently, she was asked to serve as a panelist at ASCD’s 2014 Whole Child Symposium.

The video was very informative in describing how CBT can be used. I have seen CBT used frequently in our programs, however the effectiveness I fear is not as good as the data would have us believe. I think CBT can be used however only with certain clients and cultures. CBT have been criticized for focusing too much on the power of positive thinking, being too techniques oriented, and working to eliminate symptoms but failing to explore the underlying causes of difficulties (Corey, 2013). I work in a community with majority of our clients are African Americans and Hispanic. Most of the clients in the communities are poverty stricken, and have difficult lives. Using CBT which only focus on the now and positive thoughts can be a difficult concept

Taking into account that parents, guardians, families and the community have an abundance of knowledge to offer in regards to supporting their children’s education. Students, staff, families and the community will feel welcomed, nurtured, respected and encouraged to participate in school functions and assist in the development of our students.

In order to find out how the homeroom teacher Ms. Mendez*, collaborates with parents an interview took place on February 21 after school. The interview has taught me the importance of documentation. When conducting parent teacher conferences or speaking to administration, data needs to be presented in regards to students’ academic progress. Thus, documenting everything the student does will serve as evidence to parents and faculty. Additionally, Mrs. Mendez makes sure to bring grades, test scores, anecdotal notes, and work samples when conferencing with parents and/ or the school administration. Although, the school sends out progress reports every four weeks and report cards every semester, Mrs. Mendez uses ClassDojo for parents to be informed of the class content each week.

Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent wathing then actually doing things. When I walked into the doubdle door facilty I seen the usual faces, and I greated them as I made my way back to my little small cubicl office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from te day prior. The note was to remind me about the homeless alliance meeting in the chamber of commerce in temple TX. I completely forgot about it, so I had to replan my day out in order to mame the meeting. I was a little upset about replanning my day, because I plan to go to the gym at three oclok today. I guess thatnot

This is a profile of the school community for North Vista Elementary school. I have taught at this school for over ten years and served on the PTA Executive Board for three years. My children attend this school as well. Information for this assignment was gathered from online sources, news articles, phone interviews, and personal experience. Florence School District One is a diverse school district as a whole, and that diversity is a result of the merging of various communities within Florence School District One. For this assignment, I will focus on the North Florence community where my school is situated. The North Florence community has always been one of the poorest communities in Florence.

Every day teachers overcome obstacles in the classroom, problem-solve on the go, address failures and challenges, work to create better ways to engage students, and improve methods of educating. Yet, so many of these moments, these everyday victories and triumphs go unnoticed. Teachers are constantly working to support their students and create more accessible and diverse opportunities. In our small district, many of these new ideas and efforts are personally and individually spearheaded by the teachers themselves, who lead, implement, and follow through to make their vision a reality. Thankfully community partners, parents, businesses and individuals readily and graciously offer support and resources to support teachers and students.
