Developing Policies Of Trinidad And Tobago

The Australian Government’s Productivity Commission (PC) highlights the importance of schools to minimise disadvantage in schools. It is crucial for schools to adapt teaching and learning programs that respond to the individual needs of students by recognising and addressing underachievement. In addition to quality tailored programs, quality teaching by highly trained staff is also quality learning. (PC, 12)

Offering equality of opportunity to all your learners means making sure that you are up to date with your knowledge on the Equality act 2010:

Curriculum is designed to develop successful learners. Confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens (MCEECDYA, 2008, p.13). In 2008, the Australian Government promised to deliver a fair and equitable curriculum for the national’s educational system, taking the task away from the State and Local Governments. The purpose of this was to create an even level of education throughout the country whether in Hobart of Cape York, and to ensure our nations position into the 21st century. This essay will demonstrate the Nation’s curriculum, its structure and development ready for its initial implementation in 2011.

Education is necessary for progression into the future for a society as a whole. My administrative belief is that education has to have equal opportunities for all; educating society with relevant, meaningful standards to enhance students personally and academic prosperity on a global scale. Understanding students’ needs and their complexity of development will magnify the successes within each of us resulting in an educated society.

The educational system has been around for thousands of years, and throughout time, there have always existed equality issues. From girls not being able to attend school as far as the boys, to children being separated into different schools because of the color of their skin, equality in education is an issue that has plagued humanity for far too long. Throughout the years, there have been some important decisions made in an effort to afford equality in education. Perhaps, as we move forward in our thinking and beliefs, we may find a way to make education a right that everyone who has the desire to grow through knowledge should be afforded, regardless of circumstance.

The Delivery System is comprised of the school guidance curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services, and system support. The delivery component also involves direct and indirect counseling services (AR1.2). The Management System consists of management agreements, advisory council information, use of data, action plans, use of time, and calendars.

Equality of Opportunity is the idea that all persons in a society are given equal opportunities to achieve educational and financial equality by having the chance to enter any occupation or social class. Schools play a paramount role in providing equality of opportunity as they are responsible for its implementation. Many issues exist for schools to provide equality of education due mostly to a family’s economic condition. Contributory factors such as a student’s cultural background, which test model is implemented at a given school, discrimination in the labor market that disrupts the achievement of equality of opportunity, all affect the school’s ability to implement equality of opportunity. Another important factor is the inequality between schools that contribute to the inequality of opportunity.

Delivery: The delivery is how the school counselor will develop this program. In building this program, a delivery system is used to include the following: core curriculum; individual education plan (IEP); create a personal goal and plan; offer system support, etc. (Erford, 2015).

Every student must have an equal opportunity to free, fair, equitable, and rigorous education. As educators we must strive to provide students with the best education we possibly can as teachers, community members, administration and policy makers. In order to provide equitable education all learners must be taken into consideration when designing curriculum, lessons, courses and school structure.

3. Specialist schools: they follow the national curriculum nut the schools will focus on one particular are for example sport, technology or music

Lectures, libraries, classes and museums, are the four primary forms of Institute pedagogy. However, there was no such standardized program. From an Institute to another, the

Though this policy attempts to achieve a support of diversity and an increase of equity among the Victorian community, its affects are hindered by an education system that favours the middle class and above. As stated by Reid (2013, p. 13), the equity espoused within policy ‘is produced by policy processes which are counterproductive to the achievement of equity.’ This means that, in order to really achieve equity for all students, the education system needs to

A national change to “a fair and inclusive system that makes the advantages of education available to all, [as it] is one of the most powerful levers [in making] society more equitable” (OECD 2008). This Australian wide change can then lead to a global education revolution that involves all classes, gender and intellect to break poverty cycles and provide equal opportunities for all.

According to Cotton, as a person with leadership qualities, I should develop an action plan that not only brings an absolute change in the educational policy of the institute but also the curriculum of the educational entity(Cotton, 2003). The problem in hand needs severe actions in order to fully address the situation. According to Elmore, education does not suffer as much from the inadequacy of supply of good programs as compare to the lack of demand for the efficient and effective good programs. Elmore has brought light to the lack of demand as the root cause of the major educational problem that is currently faced by the educational entities (Elmore,2000).

This proves to be a worthwhile endeavour that is both significant and essential to learners in this 21st century. This is a momentous time especially in light of the fact that Trinidad and Tobago like many other countries before it, has embarked on an educational venture that will facilitate students with disabilities being educated alongside their age and grade level non-disabled counterparts.
