Galen And The Galen 's Life

In the city of Los Angeles is Fremont High School, and unlike most schools in the country, this one runs on a three-track schedule, meaning that it is open year round with short numerous breaks throughout the year. The school contains 3,300 students in attendance year round and being that the school is lacking in funds and hindering the students from following their dreams, this is very impactful on a large amount of people beause it lacks also preparation for college. In the article, “Fremont High School”, Jonathan Kozol examines the conditions of Fremont High School from the perspective of the students, and teachers alike. He uses statistics that have been submitted to the courts during depositions and student recounts of activity. Jonathan Kozol uses persuasive techniques such as ethos, logos, and pathos in the article, “Fremont High School”, to persuade the audience, members of society, that they can help by providing funds, because of the lack of funding it has caused a disservice to the students, causing students to struggle with following their dreams.

My passion towards working with students every day has led me to the decision of pursuing a doctoral degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education at Miami University. I have chosen this program to prepare myself for a future role as a professor or a senior level college administrator. This program will allow me to become more proficient within the students’ educational experience and therefore better engage students in active learning.

I am sorry I did not arrive to school prepared for the AVID Career Project. It was due to poor time management on my part. My failure to not come prepared is disrespectful to you; myself; my parents, and CMI. Everyone had two weeks to work on this project I managed to finish the paper packet in half of the first week, however I became overconfident during the last week and I could have completed the project. Instead on focusing on helping others finishing their projects I should have finished mine first. Additionally, I must admit, my ego got the best of me and became prejudicial. I suffered the consequences of not attending the field trip of University of San Marcos; resulting in, shame upon me and my parents who expect me to perform

I am aware that there are better and worse high schools out there than Fremont High School. And yet, reading Kozol's account of the terrible conditions that are endured by these students made me feel more aware of the severity of improper or inadequate education that poorly funded schools provide. All of these problems, alongside my awareness of my fortunate years of education, make me wonder, just as Mireya did, as to why, "...[students] who need it so much more get so much less?" (Kozol 648). Interestingly, I have little to comment on Kozol's actual writing style, even though he wrote this account of his. I was just so attached to the characters within that school that I wanted to be able to reach out somehow; Kozol definitely achieved something very touching here.

In week 2, I will be answering some questions that are relevant to the company “Central Health Services” selling service contracts for healthcare applicants and equipment. I will be discussing adjusting the accounts, adjustments and ethics also located in our textbook. In conclusion, I will be discussing my overall review of my findings and the difficulty in accrual accounting.

From my experience in overcoming barriers, as a past first-generation college student, appreciative advising is important for my work with students. According to recent literature, appreciative advising means “establishing meaningful rapport between students and advisors, and co-creating paths toward success” (Bloom et al., 2008, p. 18). Advising undergraduate students and graduate students is a two-way learning experience for both the advisor and the student. Hence, I am an expert in improving student persistence, and narrowing the achievement gap for underrepresented students (as specified in Goal 2 of the strategic plan implemented by President Mildred Garcia). As the new Educational Leadership and Ed Doctorate Advisor, I can focus on closing the achievement gap for underrepresented master’s degree students and doctoral students. Respectively, I can use the methods of appreciative advising while working with students in the College of Education (COE). For instance, I will communicate with COE faculty and manage assessments to learn the challenges graduate students

After reading Sonja Ardoin’s (2014) “the strategic guide to shaping your student affairs career” book, I read a variety of important content that has allowed me to reflect not only in my fieldwork position, as an Advising Assistant for the Puente Program, but also my current status as a graduate student in the Educational Counseling program.

The students at Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, also known as SCCA, are bright young students with potential to make their future an outstanding work of art. They are students who are serious about their education and will do anything to get to the highest pinnacle in life. But besides being determined and solemn scholars, they are still only teenagers in high school who just want to have fun. The culture at SCCA lacks fun, excitement, and freedom, and the main reason for that is because of the Burton School District that runs the facility. There needs to be some changes in the Burton School District and in the culture of SCCA.

Dr. Sonia Rosado has served as an educator, a mentor, and friend to the Muir College staff for the last 10 years - something that certainly must be draining. And yet, she does it with the belief that each staff and every day is just as important as the last. Each year serves a different community of incoming students and also works as a continuation of the last.

As a new principle of Norden Township Junior-Senior HS; Dr. Jack Prince was facing a burden of problems; one of the bitterest was that his predecessor stepped down after a vote of no confidence. It clearly indicates that there is a group of people who do not want that the matters of the school run smoothly by the principle. Example of such people are Bob Neuman, who was the chairperson of the business department and was complacent but influential with his own faculty and exerted methods to control much of the younger faculty. For the past several years, he had also been the president of the local teachers union. Jack himself had no issues with him in the past, but since he want a glimpse of what Bob and his mates can do with him and up to what extent they could go in order to create a situation of unrest for him, he decided to "stir the pot" by calling a faculty meeting to create quality teams. For this purpose, he must transfer some of his powers to the members of the faculty who are part of the quality team. There is no doubt that this decision of him would bring both advantages and disadvantages for him. Advantages can be taken if the faculty members do their sincere efforts in the quality movements and thus the school will prosperous by providing quality education to the students. On the other hand, the

This letter is sent in response to your announcement of a search for an Associate Vice President for Accreditation and Quality Assurance at LeTourneau University (LETU). The announcement of this search drew my attention because I am familiar with LETU’s institutional effectiveness, assessment, and accreditation efforts, and I believe my background and experience provide an excellent fit with the credentials you seek. I have a keen interest in promoting LETU’s mission of engaging “learners to nurture Christian virtue, to develop competency and ingenuity in their professional fields, to integrate faith and work, and to serve the local and global community.” I am certain that I can make a positive contribution in support of this vision as

The next school to present was Floyd C. Fretz Middle School by their principles Mrs. Slaven and Mrs Signor. Overall, Fretz scored an 84.5%. Looking over the information they received from the state, they concluded that the math program was doing well. Mrs. Slaved credited the students for their hard work. In addition to crediting the students, the principle said that the teachers have implemented a new program called HERE. HERE is a program where a teacher “adopts” a student and mentors them whether it is to improve academically or socially. The staff at Fretz feels the program works well with students who are at risk but does not do much for the advanced students. In class we discussed that middle school is a challenging time period for adolescence. I think the program they have implemented will help to greatly ease the challenges students face. In class we

Public school systems need to be more sensitive to their students. Parents play the major role in determining a child’s academic outcome, but the school system needs to notice children who don’t necessarily acknowledge their gift. These children need guidance -- I believe it is the schools’ responsibility to provide it to them. I have been through a situation that makes me feel strongly about the subject. My example is an indisputable case in point.

Tables 1 and 2 provide the most recent income statement and balance sheet. The financial statements shown as Tables 1 and 2 reflect the state of the business up to the present. In the minds of Myers and his associates, the future held both great opportunities and challenges. The building that housed Personality Associates was owned by the corporation, free and clear. The substantial profit after-tax (retained earnings) earned since the company’s inception had been used to completely amortize the mortgage. That situation had left the company essentially debt free and solely owned by Myers and two of his associates – the original investors. It had become increasingly clear over the past 15-20 years that the public was willing to accept the “for-profit” medical care facility. In the public view, such an organization, as part of a chain, provided services in locations often not directly served by the more regionally focused municipal facilities. As a result of that trend Personality Associates was poised to expand. Regardless of the apparent economic feasibility of expansion, there were matters of ethics and quality control that concerned Myers. In short, what was the nature of the conflict, if any, between the for-profit aspect of the business and the great need to provide carefully monitored, high-quality professional service? Myers wanted to make sure that the internal mechanisms

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
