1.0 Introduction
ABC Learning Centers, an Australian company was then run by CEO Eddy Groves and at one point was the world's largest provider of early childhood education services before the company bizarrely collapsed. The share price had dropped from a massive $8.50 to just $1.15 within a span of a year (Cohen C 2009)
The purpose of this report is to identify and critically discuss management issues at ABC Learning Centers (ABCLC) with specific focus on three areas: • The

And according to the chairman Dr. D. R. Arora, the main reason behind the success of Shemrock is because the company is committed on employing the best personnel from the talent pool and they give their workers the freedom to speak their minds; and so continually improve the learning standards. Teachers and principles of all branches are encouraged to call the head office if they have any suggestions and proposals. This shows that Shemrock has adopted the right view of ethics as they protect the right of their employees to freedom and free speech. And this approach is supported by Mennivanan & Premila (2009, p.10) who authorize after research in Quality Management in Teaching that the most important factor to get the best out of a teacher is to offer them the credibility and respect, otherwise they will not attempt to contribute more to improve the process of learning with community.
The utilitarian view of ethics also however, can be applied in the educational sector. Lasalle College of the Arts is an arts educational institution in Singapore. It is a non-profit, private educational institution, operating autonomously with financial support from Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) (Lasalle 2010). In year 1997, the MOE enforced the board members of LCA to cut-cost wherever possible as the country had suffered somewhat from the financial crisis. The chairman of LCA, Alastair
Blatchford (2013) identifies that regarding professional conduct, a teacher is expected to show high standards, uphold public trust, act within the statutory frameworks, and have a proper and professional regard for ethos, policies and practices
ELCC 3.5. Standard Element 3.5 addresses high-quality instruction that ensures all students experience academic success. The ELCC 3.5 was a culmination of assigned readings, coursework, and internship activities. The internship activities were Policy Recommendation on Teacher Attendance and Successful School Observation. The professional knowledge and skills I gleaned from the internship activities under this standard element was effective school leadership means being proactive in handling teacher absenteeism, reward positive behaviors with incentives, and distributed leadership responsibilities among the staff. In my opinion, when the staff is recognized for their efforts, this transcends to high quality teaching in the classroom.
All of these elements are important for a practice or program, however, the three elements I feel that are more important are; 1) creating a caring community of learners 2) Teaching to enhance development and learning 3) Planning curriculum to achieve important goals. Creating a caring community, communities are very influential for children beginning school and being immerged into a place outside the home, sometimes for the first time. It is vital to create a safe and warm environment for children where they can learn social skills and how to treat others. Teaching to enhance development and learning is a happy mixture of adult-guided and child-guided but has the teacher being the one in charge and responsible for directing and supporting the child. Planning curriculum to achieve important goals, programs must have a curriculum based on goals that are significant for children development. Lakeridge UMC accomplishes these three guidelines by incorporating play with peers and academics and staffing caring teachers. This program also gives its kids some freedom by not having to ask to go to the bathroom but just going, instead of interrupting the class which also fulfills creating a caring community guideline. Lakeridge no doubt follows the guidelines for a successful
Strategies that are in place are teachers and administration walk-through with feedback for growth. The school also provides support for teachers whose performance was
An experienced Detroit-area educational administrator and consultant, Vivian Palmer holds a bachelor of arts in secondary education with a concentration in mathematics from the University of Detroit Mercy and a master of arts in education with an emphasis in instruction technology improvement from Wayne State University. Vivian Palmer’s professional history includes tenures as a professional development administrator with Detroit Public Schools and a director with the Education Achievement Authority of Michigan.

All that we do, and every single structure that we have, must be allied to livelihood of the effort of teachers and staff, directors, and principles, and those who work at the Department of Education in the distribution of education. It should be about instruction and instruction only. Student learning and accomplishment’s are the whole reason for our
This division between vision and implementation undermines the efforts of the governing board by executive staff. The integration or division of labor is poorly demonstrated in this case study. We see management unable to address strategic goals due to a changing staff environment. For instance, turnover and conflict among educators forced the youth programs to be relegated under the volunteer operations. Further, as associate director of programs and exhibitions Alan Hankin states, that the lack of line-item funding suggests insufficient commitment to the diversity efforts in the youth program by administrators. A method of improving the long-term standing could be by creating a dialogue between administrators of how they’d like to see the goals of the board being implemented. A strategy session, or perhaps a strategic retreat, would allow educators to share stated and taboo goals.
Making this plan possible funding will be used from existing accounts from non-profit and philanthropic organizations. Also, different steps need to be taken into consideration for implementation of a different curriculum. Special programs for students need to be done to integrate programs into a culture-based curriculum rather than as add-on curriculum. Appropriate training for teachers also needs to be taken into account to ensure the experiences that occur in the community and correlate that in to the classroom. Decreasing the native student dropout rate, lessons need to be more academically interesting with updated textbooks, and a strategic plan to make things more interesting than boring; which has constituted too many students leaving. Records have shown that students that disrupt and fail are allowed to continue attendance without any alternative put in place; a system needs to be developed to separate and reform. Development of dropout prevention programs which track students and provide community based intervention, support, and treatment programs along with mental guidelines will need to be
Moral is very low and frustration very high among most of the teachers because they do not feel respected, supported, understood or valued. Instead, the majority feel micro-managed, talked down to and regularly picked on. Site admin often engages individual teachers to "manage" other staff members. For instance, it was apparent to two teachers that a first year teacher was asked to prevent other teachers from voicing their views and opinions by
DUMBER, dumber, yet dumber, this is the trend over the last 10 years, showing that our children’s grades are dropping, despite the rise in attendance in Australian schools. This is a massive issue for us, Australian’s because it effects the future of the country, with less and less able people to work in the country’s job sector, overall crippling the country. Instead of having a healthy growing economy, that continuous to grow over-time, Australia would start to die with the lack of workers to support the economy, and continue the work a research. This dire situation would only be avoided by making sure that the parents of these children are making sure that they are not getting distracted by their technology, as instead using it as a learning tool.
In this assignment I will explore my role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher within the teacher training cycle and will analyse the different ways in which I would establish ground rules with students which may promote good behaviour and respect for other students who are participating within the same learning environment (Gravells, 2010).

Thus, every employee should comply with requirements such as trainings and orientations, which help them, reinforce the reason why they work for MSFG. In essence, rewards and incentives to employees that comply with all the organization policies, and requirements, will be handed (quarterly), which is a way to monitor them. However, consequences for employees violating codes of conduct are clear to keep employees in alignment.
