ELCC 1.2. Standard Element ELCC 1.2 addresses collecting and analyzing data to improve and achieve academic goals outlined by the district. ELCC 1.2 is a culmination of assigned readings and internship activities. The internship activities were Organizational Effectiveness, Field Project-Issue Impacting Learning, Effective Schools Project, School Board Activity, Field Experience Project, and Diversity Plan Outline. These activities refined my critical and analytical thinking skills, which enabled me to understand in-depth the analysis of major issues in schools: 1) data design; 2) collection of data; 3) understanding assessment of data; 4) organizational effectiveness and how it effects student achievement. The Organizational Effectiveness internship activity took place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with a local school in the Abu Dhabi Educational Council school district.

The policy analysis was developed from the data collected and analyzed, comparing Abu Dhabi Education Council’s district policies for teachers with other districts of the United States of America of various sizes in student population and staff. In comparing

Everyone should work together in order to promote positive change concerning this districts math scores. Observations should be conducted by the administrators and by district level supervisors in order to find any strength and weaknesses that may need to be addressed. ISLLC standard 2, states that the school administrator should sustain an instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth.

ELCC 5.1. Part of my vision as an administrator is linked to standard 5.1. I must act with integrity and fairness to ensure a school system of accountability for every student’s academic and social success. I used data collected from 2014 fifth grade literacy scores to compare achievement between black and white students in our school. There were more white students that scored proficient and advanced than black students. There was a gap but now a major gap. As an administrator I will provide each student with an equal opportunity to participate in the learning process. I vow to work with administrators, teachers, staff, and

The twenty first century author Alexandra Iftodi Zamfir (1986- ) argues that ‘architecture and settings are more important in Gothic fiction than in any other type of literature.’ (Zamfir. 2011: 15). The nature of architectural space performs a significant role within the narrative structure of Gothic fiction as it creates and builds layers of imagery that signify the horrific and gloomy; a construction full of atmosphere and suspense. It was the Gothic writer Horace Walpole (1717-1797) who first illustrated in his Gothic novel The Castle of Otranto (1764) an example symbolic to the nature and power of architectural space explored through the nature from his own “…house in Strawberry Hill which was the most complete neo-Gothic
An effective school leader possesses skills to create, implement, evaluate, improve and share a staff development plan. I met with Ben Rhodes, Sandy Creek Middle School’s principal, to interview him on the specific elements of his yearly staff development plan. We began with the design process focusing on the district and school goals. District goals include improving literacy across the content areas in reading and writing, Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC). Guaranteed and Viable Technology (GVT), and Closing the Achievement Gap (Equity in Excellence). Using a variety of assessments to focus on specific needs, Ben Rhodes and Mary Sonya, our Pupil Achievement Specialist, examined CSAP, Explore, MAP, and RAD data. They use the
I do think many of us in the special education community think we have overcome many of the earlier problems regarding the treatment of individuals with disabilities and access to special education. However, I do not think we have solved these problems. As I read this story, I thought about a young man I attended school with as a child. Jeremiah was an amazing person. Hurt by so many people in his short life, he was stubborn and independent.

As we review and synthesize data of a district for planning school improvement, the following information is needed to access and determine the needs of a school. First, a thorough analysis of performance data must be reviewed to see how school districts measure up with state and federal accountability. During this process, it is very important that schools focus the performance indicators that will guarantee growth and success. School teams must refer to the districts mission and vision to guide the planning process. The performance indicators will provide data that will be beneficial in creating improvement strategies. So, after careful evaluation of the data, the next step would be to plan effective methods and strategies that will improve student achievement. Moreover, this plan should include needs, demographics and opportunities for students to be successful. Additionally, the baseline data is important information to include in the improvement plan.
