Focus Student 2 Case Study

Beth Walton and I were able to interview Jeff Waldron the Principal at Newton High School.

I think students valley view high school that are in athletics should get a drug test, because schools will not allow students that play sports and have drugs in the blood. If the students have drugs in their bodies can get out of the sports that they play and schools are not going to risk the pride of the school if other districts find out that students play in under drug conditions valley view district can get in trouble.

He would prefer to work in groups rather than by himself. One disadvantage of working in groups with Student G is that he easily gets off track and begins talking to group members. Sometimes members rely on him to do all the work because they know he will and can do it correctly. During class Student G volunteers answers frequently and with ease. When the teacher gives assignments orally he does well with the direct instruction and seems very comfortable with it. He doesn’t need to write any information down when the teach give instruction. Since the teacher mainly gives directions orally the other classmates would benefit if she would provide more information in writing about assignments. The student is very close with his parents who are very involved in his education and life. Student G has always been successful in school partially due to the help of his parents and because of his ability to figure things out for himself. The strengths he possess in the classroom are the ability to figure out answers by using reasoning and context clues, ability to work with all people and willingness to answer questions. Student G also has weaknesses in the classroom that include the inability to explain how he came up with the answer (a weak use of metacognition) and his apparent over-eagerness to answer questions. There needs to be balance with how often he gets to answer questions, so that other

The beginning of the chapter two included a section that discussed the dilemma of trying to introduce what is learned in the classroom in the work place. I recently just experience the difficultly of trying to utilize material I am currently learning in my EDPH 502 Individual Learning Differences course, at my fieldwork site. I tried to give feedback to my supervisor of how to improve the Puente program and was given a practical response of the program lacking the resources and a full time staff to monitor sections of the program can be improved at the moment. Collaboration was another topic in Chapter two that connected to me at my current employment as a Student Program Advisor for the USC Trio Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program. Ardoin (2014) mentions how an individual has to be patient when searching for a collaborative project. At the moment I am working on assignments that were given to me, but it was only a few months ago that I was asked to collaborate with other colleagues of mine on a project. The inclusion of being asked to assist with a group project allowed my opinion matter and

Additionally, Paula struggles staying focused and on-task during class instruction. Paula frequently gets lost and distracted with the material in front of her, but Paula makes up for it with her dedication to answer the question correctly. Frequently, Paula observes her peers respond during whole class discussions and also answers some of the questions asked during these discussions. The teacher uses these opportunities as a learning opportunity to highlight the correct answer or guide the students into saying the correct answer. It is great that Paula wants to participate in classroom discussions because she remains fully engaged and frequently offered the opportunity to state his own understandings about the concept or skill he is being taught. Drawing on this observation and the use of intervention work, the teacher can plan future opportunities to allow the students to not only communicate their understandings about the content they are being taught, but to also further drive in the content he is being

Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might

The ranges of development that will be centered around are critical analysis, collaboration, and time management. The reason that I concentrated on coordinated effort with her is on the grounds that she experiences issues with utilizing the cooperation time. At the point when requested that impart her thoughts to others, she decides to not say much and to concentrate on taking a shot at her own. In view of exchanges I have had with my collaborating instructor I comprehend that she battles with moving beyond insignificant comprehension of thoughts and starting to investigate the data that is being examined. As far as time administration, she by and large finishes assignments before most other individuals and as opposed to utilizing the additional time to go over her answers and to sharpen what she has done on assignments, she does different things. This should be tended to keeping in mind the end

On September 8, 2015, I was assigned this case to follow up. This case involved Mr. Oswaldo Javier Flores a fifteen year old Francis Hammond Middle School student. I contacted Milagro Estela Flores (mother) and asked her permission to speak to her son at school. Mrs. Flores gave her permission to speak to her son. Mrs. Flores expressed her frustration as Oswaldo refuses to follow rules at home and has been caught with marijuana in the past.

Needs: After-school Programming, Activities, and Scheduling (identify specific kinds, such as sports, arts, personal, and/or social development, etc.; days of the week, hours, how many weeks, school-year, summer): Freire Wilmington students need more academic support- 4 days per week, 1.5 hours per day, after school, in Math, English, Science and Social Studies. The students also need credit recovery teaching and learning opportunities after school 4 days per week and during the summer for 4 to 7 weeks in core classes- Math, English, Social Studies and Science. The students also need more opportunities to learn academic skills and to develop their knowledge and experience in STEM areas and the Arts, as they have few opportunities to learn in those areas in a project-based, self-directed format at home or in their communities- after-school every week and in the summer. The

Fisk University is a privately historical black university founded in 1866 in Nashville, Tennessee. The 47- acres campus street from 17th Avenue North to DB Todd Blvd encompassing Jefferson street. Just six months after the end of the Civil War and two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, John Ogden, Reverend Erastus Milo Cravath and Reverend Edward P Smith established the Fisk Free Colored School in Nashville, named in honor of General Clinton B Fisk of the Tennessee Freedmen’s Bureau. In January of 1866 students began attending classes. The Fisk School was founded on the principle that the institution would be open to people regardless of race and not for the purpose of “negro education” but of higher education to African Americans.

I have choose the fact of Manheim Central School District is thinking on suing Doe Run School. The reason I have chosen this is because I used to go to Manheim Central High School and they didn’t have A/C in the classrooms without computers but the district wouldn’t do anything about it. Plus I was in school when Doe Run had to evacuate their building for CONSTRUCTION mishaps. So the buildings construction that Manheim Central School District paid to build was falling apart. So this issue is unnecessary to me for those reasons and many other reason but those are the main reasons.

On February 22, 2016, I was assigned this case for follow up. I was assigned a second case on February 24, 2016. The person involved in both investigations is Ms. Kassidy Pullara a fourteen year old T.C. Williams High School student. I contacted Doris L. Stanley (Guardian) and was granted access at school to interview Kassidy Pullara in school.

South Point Delta High School was the first high school in Lawrence County, Ohio outside of the city of Ironton. The first class met in 1913 or 1914 (sources differ) and had less than forty students. The first building specifically constructed for the school was completed in 1916, with a large addition done in 1936. Since then, three more schools have been built to accommodate the high school student population as it grew.

LAUSD is the second largest public school district in the United States. One of their core beliefs includes equity. Equity means the quality of being fair and impartial. However, although one of their core belief is equity, they still show some actions that lead to inequality. An example of this is dividing the students whether they belong to high income or low income families. They give incentives for students who belong to the low-income group. Although LAUSD officials think that low income students should receive reduced expenses, high-income students and students who belong in the mid group should also receive this incentive. Proposition 987 says that LAUSD students should have the same treatment for middle class students and high income

When Mrs. L began to share on Richards behavior when he attend the learning center with her she expressed that his distractions are limited. When he is at the learning center he has less students to become distracted from and he is able to stay focus on assignments. Currently, Richard works with a small group of students that are at close to his learning level. Mrs. L. expressed how it is more easy for Richard to work in a small group, because he is able to keep up with the learning material and use the students as reference to
