Within Firestone the administrative staff is composed of five individuals. There is a head principal, three assistant principals and a dean of students. Each person plays an integral role in making sure the school runs in an orderly fashion. To ensure the building continues to run in an orderly fashion the head principal has assigned each person a particular job. Each person in an administrative position helps to conduct teacher evaluations. There are about 101 staff members so each principal takes a department or two and evaluates the teachers. From there the three assistant principals have split the alphabet and works with the students in their certain group. They deal with discipline and any other issues the student may have in the building. As of last year the dean of students was only in the building for two days, so he dealt with student tardies and filled in if one of the assistant principals were out. At this point many of the changes taking place in the school building are a result of what comes from the Office of Secondary Schools located in downtown Akron. Within the past year the biggest change that took place was the scheduling for testing and the lunch schedule. There was a major change in how the lunches were ran in the building, but the change was not made within the building but made downtown and enforced in almost all Akron high schools. There are some changes that can take place in house as well. Many of the changes that come from in the building start
This is a team normally made up of the head teacher and the deputy head. However, it does depend on the size of the school as the team may be a lot bigger and a lot more varied. Often within this team we may find assistant head teachers or even senior teachers who are responsible for particular things like leading one of the key stages or even something like all the assessments across the school. The role of senior management team is to set the strategic direction of the school and then to manage this, they will lead any changes and they will generally make sure that the school is doing
Employee appraisal is a method of measuring and evaluating employee job performance. The employee evaluation consists of regular reviews at different intervals every six months or yearly reviews. The performance appraisal includes performance training, determining who will evaluate employee performance, evaluating job performance, and communicating results to employees. By conducting a performance evaluation, it can increase understanding of improving the problems that occur within the performance evaluations. In this research paper, it summarizes the findings for the specific areas of the performance appraisal process. Also, an integration of contextual applications is analyzed. Additionally, in the hopes of future research investigation and considerations, critical observations on this concept will also be present.
After reading over case study 7, Handling Disparate Information for Evaluating Trainees, the two questions that I chose to respond to are as follows:
One change I have seeing in junior high schools is that six grade is now a self-contained classroom like those of middle schools, which to me seem a little unreasonably since the teachers cannot teach all subjects with great deftness, since they might have one or two subjects in which they are very knowledgeable. There is also the way in which students performance is measure in high school, mainly on the test needed to graduate and the GPA and how now it does not matter if students take AP or honors classes, since students grades would be considered the same if they take regular classes. The government also seems to be pushing for the STEM program (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics). Another change that I have schools is how students are having fewer options of the extra classes offered like art and physical education as well as clubs.
In regards to administrative responsibility, since we are a small school and we have fewer administrative positions than the larger districts, our administrators have to wear a lot of different hats. They have to take care of our own professional development, curriculum team meetings, after-school supervision, etc. There is no assistant principal or curriculum director to help take care of these needs. Finally, all fiscal decisions go through the superintendent.
Administrator/ Leader No. 5. is not new to administration nor to the role he assumes. Much like administrator No. 4, he is responsible for student discipline and activities. A lot of his responsibilities deal with students, coaches, parents and things related to extra-curricular activities. This administrator having been a former coach and teacher, lends a great deal of knowledge and experience to dealing with the logistics of running the school during and after regular hours.
My day was planned so I thought, I was scheduled to go out with my mentor, Francis. We had a full day planned with the possibility of me making a school contact alone. My field supervisor, Stephanie and I were having our usual morning chat when we were approached by foster care worker, Ms. Williams. She wanted me to supervise some parenting time, so she could attend court. I had supervised parenting time before and I will admit it is not the most exciting thing to do. Parenting time can last up to 4 hours requiring you to sit at the room door and monitor the parent’s interactions with their children. Although it can be quite daunting, I do however understand the importance of this family time. I was immediately put on the spot and I really wanted to say no to supervising this time for her. I also did not want to be uncooperative or not a team player in the presence of my field supervisor.
What needs to be changed about the structure of the school? One thing that needs to be changes about the school would have to be the arrival. Most kids say this because of how they sometimes don’t get enough sleep, so the are really tired when their at school. Also if kids are sleepy at school then they are most likely to not pay attention to the teachers because of how tired they are. Kids also need more time to get ready and eat breakfast, because some of the times people are late to their bus stops cause of not having much time to get ready. Another thing that should be changed about the structure of the school is to have shorter periods. One example could be to have the days be shorter so they can have time for other activities in or out of the school. Another example could be to have shorter periods so we can add in another class or activity. Third thing that can be changed about the structure of the school could be to have a recess or a free time period. There
We need to verify whether the following staff persons "require" Microsoft Visio 2010 to do their job or not. Since we have a very limited number of Visio licenses, as DBHIDS is only licensed for 25 Visio seats, we should remove Visio from workstations of those that do not require it. Only 25 DBHIDS staff persons can have Visio installed on their workstation and these staff persons must actually create Visio documents as a requirement for their job.
Compass Educational Programs has four campuses in total. Each campus has a Director, Administrative Assistant, Office Assistant, Head Teachers and Assistant Teachers. In addition to creating optimal learning environments and teaching children, the classroom staff is also responsible for mentoring student teachers and students and supporting those who wish to conduct research on site. Our regional director over looks all four campuses and makes weekly visits with director to make sure that all needs are met and program is running is running sufficiently. The person at the top of our organizational chart would be our executive director but we do not get to communicate with him very often, the person under him is who we communicate with the most
What are some strengths you could bring to the staff team? Also what are some of your weaknesses? There are a lot of strengths I have I will list some of the strengths I have below.
According to our textbook, Administration of Programs for Young children,” An Evaluation is a process that determines whether the goals of an early childhood center are being met.” Being evaluated is an important aspect of teaching. Evaluations can help teachers critique themselves and improve their teaching skills. However, an evaluation can produce anxiety in those being evaluated. Therefore, it must be done in a way that promotes learning not negativity. Below is a brief overview of the procedure for a staff evaluation.
The Senior Vice President of Human Resources has just informed you that she would like for you to research various HRM practices amongst Fortune 500 companies. This research will be presented to the board of trustees next month. They want to review other company’s best practices to help them realign their strategic initiatives in the below areas:
Our Radiology department has currently developed goals for our department which is implementing a transfer policy, providing flu immunization and creating a healthy challenge to keep our employees healthier. The transfer policy was created by our Risk Manager and Human Resources Department because in the past couple of months our Radiology Department has had five accidents when transferring patients for exams, this caused injuries to our employee’s which ultimately lead to three employees to be put on worker’s compensation . The immunization program is to provide free vaccination to employees to reduce turnover during flu season, and help our employees fight off the infection before it hits, while the healthy challenge is to promote self-confidence, bring teamwork in the organization and keep employees physically and mentally healthy.
Head administrators or lead managers will be notified with a study’s proposal package, which includes the study’s purpose, procedures, and benefit factors along with a consent form attached to obtain permission to proceed with the study. A second consent form will be mailed out to participants that were randomly selected then will be asked to return the form 48-hours of receipt to the return addressee. Web-based survey questionnaires generated through survey monkey will be administered to the participants with options of completing the survey at their workstations or at home. In addition, no personally identifying information (PPI) will be collected. Participants will complete the online survey questionnaire generated by using survey monkey, which will include closed ended questions on absenteeism, task performance, productivity, commitment, workloads, WLOC, and work environment, post furlough. Survey questionnaires will be customized to target the individual- and organizational-levels perception on the negative impact of furlough within their organization. Some limitations on the survey questionnaires include: privacy, flexibility, no open-ended questions, time constraint, and quick turnaround. No interviews will be conducted in this non-experimental quantitative study. The participants’ responses to the questionnaires could address how negatively furlough impacts their organizations, so that future planning for and implementation for furlough guidance and
