Engage In Student Government Benefits Students

For the purpose of this case I will only focus on the actions that took place at the football game. The remainder of the community was not impacted. Following an natural disaster incident, where an earthquake collapsed a set of bleachers killing and injury students in the area. The first thing I will do is gather the names and information about the student. Were they popular, did they make an impact in the community, were they new to the school, who were their close friends etc. This information is pertinent because the people closest to them should be among the first to experience assistance. Once I have gathered all of this information I will gather all support teachers and school staff and help educate them about the questions and emotions their students may be facing. During this time I will also have the opportunity to check in with the teachers. Ensure that they are coping with the events that have taken place. I will also be able to identify which teachers will be most effective when it comes to handling a crisis situation. Next I will identify students that are high risk. High risk students include close friends of the students affected, students that are injured, students closest in proximity to the collapse, and students with mental health and learning disabilities. Next I will have to establish intervention strategies to support student and staff. This support will include first a school wide assembly allowing all

Over the course of years, society has reached a point where violence is considered a typical manifestation. Year after year, we witness many lives end due to useless reasons. Many strategists have pondered over different strategies of overcoming this battle, but yet, none has come to succeed. It’s time that our future generation of young, bright minds step up to their role in society and become more engaged in their civic duties to promote the cohesion and tranquility of their environment. As young people’s civic and political participation continues to decline, communities around the globe are taking many initiatives to reverse this devastating issue by promoting many opportunities to engage young people through a variety of methods that allow the youth to actually participate in their community. Such tactics are policy development and taking action on local issues. The effectiveness of such notions might take many years to show realization.

Throughout my four years at Bryn Mawr, I have been able to bring my biology background into fields I never thought possible. One of my proudest and most impactful contributes I made utilizing my major was being able to coordinate the Overbrook/Parkway Tutoring program, which is part of the Civic Engagement Offices. At first glance, it would seem that Civic Engagement may have nothing to do with Biology but in fact what allowed my advancement through the program was my background in the biological sciences. Many of the challenges students face in schools are being educated in STEM fields. Many of our tutors are humanities or social science majors which provide an invaluable service as well. However, at times, when a student needs help with

We also wanted to teach students in our community the value of getting engaged. Through engagement, you bring on change, while also making incredible connections. For example, i was able to reach out to multiple board members of the the Young Democrats of America, when I was looking for guidance as to how to establish the chapter. This goes to show the power that getting engaged in the community can have in either the short or long term future. These networking experiences also connect people who have the experience with people who don't. By connecting these two groups you are able to greatly reduce the learning curve, and enable the next generation to bring about change more

SPPV (1949) focuses on the education of a student being the responsibility of the student but responsibilities of student affairs professionals in coming to the forefront of the education process (Carpenter, 2011). SPPV (1937) focus on the student as a whole person including physical condition, relationships, vocational skills, emotional stability, and moral and religious values (ACE, 1937). However, SPPV (1949) was written shortly after the end of World War II and the authors seemed to focus more on democracy and the change in student population at the university level (ACE, 1949). After World War II many of the returning veterans took advantage of the GI Bill and now student affairs professionals were dealing with a more

During the last century, American involvement toward civic are falling into a slump. This could mark a new era of history for democracy but the question is what happens when only about 5% of American will take part in civic. Since World II American civic engagement are greater and they are more likely to trust their government and community but over time the people trust is beginning fall. What could have caused this trust issue? Well, the problem here is over time the people begin to see a lot lies the government feed them, for an example, the Vietnam war was one of the reason that caused American reduce their trust the government as bomb the country with a lot of civilian casualties but the government only showed American the shooting part.

In the Course Competencies section of the Syllabus, specifically in Competency 2, it says how “labs, office hour meetings, asking questions, and tutoring” can be an effective tool to develop college coping skills. However, isn’t it more diverse to add personal preferences as a way of diminishing the amount of stress we can be subjected to? Would not exercise, hobbies, and favorite activities be an important part of college coping skills, mainly as a way of increasing your social capital and motivation? This may bring Honors College students a step closer to “psychological balance” and keep our senses awake.

Universal supports and instruction are the core programs and strategies provided to all students within the school building to promote successful student outcomes and prevent school failure. Tier 1 supports are intended for all students in the school. The core components of prevention include setting clear behavioral expectations, creating an acknowledgement system to reinforce desired behaviors, and developing a system for addressing misbehavior. Creating clear expectations is the first step in developing a school-wide PBIS program. The Universal System

The organization that I have volunteered for is YMCA. Volunteering at the YMCA taught me how and why civic engagement is so important. Civic engagement is when citizens participate in helping their community to be better and make improvements for the entire community. It gives the chance to show the how we operate when we incorporate our differences and work together toward the community’s common goal. Making our communities more powerfully built through civic engagement increases how many active participations in the community we have. We have to teach future generations about how important civic engagement is. As a community we need to inform them of the benefits of participating in more civic engagement. There are so many ways that citizens

A civic engagement program similar to SPR outside of Duke University is Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR). The CEPR is a partnership amongst school districts, foundations, states, and university researchers that assists in leveraging the large amount of new data about schools, teachers, and students to address “intractable policy questions in education.” Similar to SRP, the goal is to improve educational outcomes for all students; however, the CEPR attempts to achieve this by building a network amongst teachers around the country instead of just locally. Both organizations strive to engage the social scientists on what does and does not need to change. The CEPR claims to have “an irreplaceable role to play in

Schools across the country have reported positive progress under this system. The approach is highly inclusive allowing for the input from the individual State and Local School Boards which, can and often does filter down to the teachers themselves creating programs that all involved can support and uphold.

PBIS encourages staff to look at students in a positive way. Teachers and staff teach students social skills needed to become successful in the real world. Programs like the Chain Reaction Club give students leadership and a voice in their education. The goal is to maintain positive relationships between students and staff. They aim to improve the school climate by using positive reinforcement and community/parent involvement. Students say they feel respected within the

As a student at Miami University Hamilton, I am really interested in furthering my education by pursuing a master’s degree in student affairs in the College of Education, Health, and Society on the Miami University’s Oxford campus. At the end of the school year, I will have a bachelor degree in Integrative Studies with two concentrations in Organizational & Cross-Cultural Leadership and in Civic & Regional Development.

Once they have had the chance to run their program in a school they can then make improvements and even expand to other schools in the area. Schools also benefit as the children are gaining experience which they might have not previously been exposed to had there been no local groups integrated into the school. Schools need more support than what they get from the Government as although they provide children with education funding for activities and trips out of school can be found difficult. Local groups made up of parents and residents of the neighbourhood can work together to help the schools in the local area. Forming a group of parents to help in their local school can benefit the school in many different ways as ideas and advice from parents, from different backgrounds, may help the experience of children with new clubs. Local groups of volunteers can benefit schools by helping with events and trips where adult supervision is required. This benefits school children as it allows them to participate in the events and to be around adults that they can look up to. As well as schools being involved in more events and activities they can also benefit from the help of local groups by bringing the community and school together and by gaining

Student personnel point of view encompasses the student as a whole. The concept of education is broadened o the student’’s well rounded development- physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually as well as intellectually. (sppv) Student affairs not only emphasize on academic excellence but to shape each individual as a unique human by providing a holistic learning and living environment. Student Affairs professionals play a pivotal role in the development of the students. By applying different theories in student development, they can foster student learning to help them shape their identity. Student affairs staff members must view themselves as educators to refute the belief that learning is held only in the classroom. (contested issue, 29). Learning does not only occur in the classroom but through out of class activities as well. Student affairs staff should talk about student learning and development to enhance the multiplicity of growth areas for students in higher education. These learning and development experiences do not simply happen to students. They happen with their active involvement. There are numerous branches of fields in student affairs that attend to the unique needs of each individual. Residence Director trains Residence assistance to cater to the needs of first year students who are new to the college environment. RA plays a major role of introducing the life of college through building relationships and community to help them develop their sense of
