Exceptional Minds On The Move Case Study

I believe that our society is doing well at creating programs for children living in poverty to become just as successful and prepared as their middle-class peers. For example, the United States currently provides low income families access to Head Start programs. Head Start is a government funded program that offers families that live in poverty to have access to high quality day care services and prepare children from age three to five years for kindergarten and the upcoming school years. In addition to Head Start programs, our society created Early Head Start services which focuses on infants, toddlers, and parents. Early Head Start programs provides counseling services to low income families. Because Head Start programs and Early Head Start services impact low income families and children, I believe that teachers and counselors should encourage and motivate families and children to perform well in these programs so they can continue to be successful during their school

In the world of education, we are faced with the task of ensuring every child is given the same opportunities to achieve greatness. Today we will discuss the issue of educational equity in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), and how the district is trying to make education inclusive for all students. You will also hear ways you and the community can play a part in giving every child, every day the opportunity to be successful. I’m your host Angela Ghafoori and this is episode one of Daily Learning Targets.

The plan outlines five goals that we have found for our school district. These goals show our commitment to provide the highest possible standards of education for all students in our district and to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all members of our community. We consider understanding individual differences in each student and teacher so that we can adopt the appropriate programs of study for them of the utmost importance.

The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) is an exclusive nonprofit organization that advocates children. Founded in 1973, this organization defends all children’s rights, primarily the poor. Ms. Marian Wright Edelman first started CDF in Washington D.C. The mission of the CDF is, “to ensure every child a Heathy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.” (Taylor,1) This six week summer program is designed for children in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Herndon High School has embraced the following mission statement, “All Hornets Are Capable of Success, No Exceptions!” Herndon became a Kids At Hope school. Herndon encourages students to believe in their individual potential and challenge themselves to define success. They understand the importance of finding hope in the face of adversity. Students when presented with challenges see the opportunity for change and growth. Last year, in the first implementation year of Kids At Hope, the HHS faculty and staff focused on creating a culture where WE BELIEVE in the success of all of our students, NO EXCEPTIONS!. The real strength of the Kids at Hope movement is the way adults interact with students and how students have come to interact with each

The LAUSD is the second largest in the nation with more than 640,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, covering over 900 schools, and 187 public charter schools. The LAUSD is committed to equity and access to excellent education and schools for all of its 640,000 students. To realize its mission, the LAUSD identified five strategies including the following: (1) Transform teaching and learning so that it can prepare all youth to graduate college and become workforce ready (2) Ensure there is an effective employee at every level of the organization focused on improving student outcomes (3) Provide a portfolio of high quality schools for youth, families, and communities (4) Ensure a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for all youth (5) Operate on an effective, efficient, and transparent organization in order to assure the public trust (‘District Strategies’, 2015). The LAUSD operates based on the following core beliefs: start with students; families are our partners; success is in the classroom; diversity is our strength; and effective teaching, leadership, and accountability are the keys to our success (‘LAUSD Core Beliefs’, 2015).

“Our main goal is to create a space that brings together all kinds of students to help them raise awareness and celebrate differences in our inclusive school climate.”

Destination 2025 outlines several goals that SCS hopes to achieve. Those goals are as follows, 80% of seniors will be on track to learn in a post-secondary classroom or enter the workforce straight out of high school, nearly twice as many as in 2014; 90% of students will earn their high school diploma on time compared to just 68% in 2014; and every college or career-ready graduate in the class of 2025 will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity. With these goal targeting specific age groups and grades, the impact will be greatly seen. Parents, community members, and teachers alike are joining forces to ensure that the perfect level of high-leverage priorities are set in place to better focus on achieving the goals set forth. There is a 10 year gap between SCS standards now and standards in 2025, but those teaming up are making it known that it is important to have all efforts and resources evenly spaced out to guarantee early literacy, post-secondary readiness, teacher and staff development, high quality schools, and community engagement.

Unlike other programs, we promote tolerance and global citizenship by opening the door to other cultures and expanding your child’s ability to communicate with others. Developing a wider view of the world is central to our philosophy and curriculum.

Children from a higher class home have a lot more resources and chances are that their parents have well paid parents therefore the parents could get away with working less or working from home thus having more time to spend with their children. Of course this is not true in every case but is a constant that is inevitable to think about. The children of lower income homes have parents that work constantly, possibly two jobs therefore the parents get very little time with the children. Therefore the mission is to put the children at the same standing when they get to kindergarten rather than having some children that already know their names and how to spell them while others do not. The mission is to have all preschoolers ready for kindergarten by lowering the kindergarten readiness gap.

My mission is provided a high quality support in the classroom and families in the community. Being able to create a positive and successful learning environment by inspiring children to explore their world in a safety way while they develop their domains to achieve all needs the children require to develop productive citizen.
