ELCC Standard 4: Creating A Relationship Between The Community And Community

To apply the second standard to my practice I have to make sure I ask questions about the work I am supposed to be doing with my students. Once I know what I am going to doing then, it is up to me to make sure that I know and understand what I am supposed to be teaching the students. To demonstrate that I am adhering to the standard, I have to take the time to plan out what I will be teaching the students and make sure that they are understanding what they are learning.

The second aim of this step is to inform the school community about the broad policy development process and to provide an

These eight priorities include: student achievement, school climate, basic services, implementation of Common Core standards, student engagement, parental involvement, course access, and other student outcomes (Koppich 2015). Though the LCFF was designed for local control, the state still holds them accountable to meeting these goals.

In order to establish and maintain interest there needs to be regular and reliable communication and sharing of information between the school and pupils families. Schools must create an effective partnership by providing an open and communicative environment with its wider community, forming a link between the classroom,

“To give children equal opportunities for learning, through a wide variety of experiences that will develop their knowledge, skills and character. To actively promote race equality and good race relations across all areas of school life and to eliminate unlawful discrimination. To ensure that the school pursues high academic standards through a broad and balanced creative curriculum. To provide a happy, caring, safe and welcoming environment in which children are encouraged and helped to succeed.”

The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice 2001 outlines the statutory guidance for policy and the procedures and responsibilities towards children and special educational needs. It includes the levels of support which should be provided to children depending upon their individual needs.

The school web site is the most obvious place to communicate any kind of information regarding the school and its ethos etc. Nowadays the first place that people look for information is the internet as it is accessible from all over the world and all schools have a personal website. Again, this form of communication needs to be integrated with a visit to the school to be able to live the real atmosphere.

Their aim is to work together to ensure good practice to promote effective approaches to enhance the students learning with Special Educational Needs.

As an educator the decisions that are made should be with the students’ best interest in mind. Standard 5 has given me more knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by acting with integrity, fairness, and in an ethical manner. Modeling school principles of self-awareness, safeguarding the values of equity, and diversity, and promoting social justice within the schools are all elements of standard 5.

It is important that all agree to the principles it contains in order for the school to function successfully as a partnership between parents, staff and pupils.

When working within a school environment you have to have effective communication and also show you have strong communication skills to convey to the other people within the environment that you are approachable. You need to make sure all the individuals feel valued and secure. However you also need to set clear ground rules for effective communication and this will develop a mutually effective relationship. The best forms of communication are as follows:

As teachers, we need to create a comfortable classroom climate where there is a feeling of acceptance and celebrate differences among each student. Effective teachers will also demonstrate appropriate planning, preparing and execution of content. Standard 5 is focused on Middle Level Professional Roles. Along with understanding and applying knowledge of young adolescents, as discussed with Standard 1, it is equally important to be an advocate for the students. By using professional leadership strategies, being an advocate for all young adolescents helps maximize their growth and learning. In order to be fully effective, working closely with family member and also with the community strengthen the ability to achieve this success.

The purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Plan is to save lives and prevent injuries in case of emergencies such as nuclear attack, fire, natural disaster, civil disorder or other, and provide the necessary best practices to ensure all possible and relevant forms of communicating with our faculty, staff, students, and parents. Mrs. Patricia Harris of the International Studies Elementary Charter School was interviewed about the International Studies Elementary Charter School’s Emergency Management Plan and the role of the school counselor during emergencies.

With all the expertise that counselors can bring to a crisis situation, it’s disappointing that counselors are assigned such a miniscule task as delegating traffic. Counselor Harris did discuss the Dougherty County School System’s Crisis Team. That team is
