Green Valley West A More Environmentally Conscious School

The second aim of this step is to inform the school community about the broad policy development process and to provide an

The school is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to reach the educational goals of students. The particular high school beliefs that all kids can learn and that the mission of this school is to challenge each student to learn, achieve, and fulfill his /her potential. Principals should lead each school in implementing the policies. In addition, this high school’s improvement plan of the three legal issues: unsupervised students, hallways, and field

I plan to use the input and assistance of my principal, administration, and other colleagues to assist me with necessary portions of my action research project. I will develop a written plan of action further in the project, monitor the project reflective, and prepare a research summary research report of the results of my action research project addressing the effectiveness of the implementation of the PBIS program at Otter Creek Middle School. My plans are for my research to be implemented further along with my principal internship after I have completed the course as well.

For example, children could submit papers and other typed assignments online. Teachers could also promote smaller fonts and larger margins for projects they want us to print. The school could also charge less money for printing double sided (15 cents per double sided page vs. 20 cents per 2 pages). This would halve the paper we use in printing. Moreover, the school could also make the attendance online. As every week every teacher wastes a sheet of paper this could drastically reduce the schools paper usage. Finally, we could promote GOOS paper and writing on both sides of every sheet as well as always recycling. If we follow all this, our school could become extremely environmentally

As the course of weeks of planning have interpose realizing a campus improvement plan is an essential item for any growth of a learning environment. Modifying our processes, teaching practices and student learning is vital to notice in order to make our action plan become successful. We must not forget the fact that our action plan is intertwined with the vision and mission set up by the administration team for the campus. Following this will be a chart as a draft of a school improvement plan based on the data acquired from Del Castillo Elementary. It includes a summary of the feedback and goals set by my principal mentor and

Environmental sustainability is the ability to be able to continue a certain process or use a certain resource indefinitely (Mason). For example, if you’re using a certain resource and you know it’s going to run out one day, that resource is unsustainable. Sustainability is important because a lot of the practices that we do in modern society from agriculture, to energy source, and even development, are completely depleting our resources. This practices were also made to accommodate our fast pace lifestyle, everything is built and made to be fast and cheap, nothing is made to last anymore. Many people are realizing the importance of being sustainable and the world is slowly changing to sustainable practices like Renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, while also changing the fast and easy mind set to a more “reusable” one. Brevard College has boarded the sustainable train of the world by making several additions to the school like solar panels, alternative transportation options, a Fair trade and organic Coffee shop, and several environmental based clubs. Although they are heading in the right direction, many changes still need to be made in order to achieve a well-developed sustainable campus.

Grinnell College students, faculty, and staff have, for years, tried to make Grinnell College and its community more sustainable. Whether it has been through sourcing food grown locally and without fossil-fuel based fertilizers, advocating for LEED-certified buildings that conserve energy and water, or altering the College’s energy profile through the implementation of large-scale wind turbines, the College has focused on reducing harmful emissions while preserving standard of living (BMUB 2014).

There are many problems in every school worldwide. Some have less problems than others. If my school received one million dollars, people would be going crazy. Everybody would be running wild telling everybody there ideas. I have many ideas but there are three main ideas that I would like to share. New bleachers, less people per classroom, and a restaurant will make a great impact on the school.

Some may argue that we should introduce this new system into all of our schools. While there is a slight chance that using this new method in our school system may benefit us, there would be many shortcomings that would outweigh the good things about it. Although I believe that we should be persistent with our current system, there are minimal changes that could be made to enhance it. Any of the alterations that could be done to improve our system would be minor,

There are many resources available in our community to help with the needs of our school. We must learn how to use outside resources to help meet the needs of the school and our students. A Principal must know how to set up commutation and find the best recourses available to meet the needs of their school. A Principal needs the support of the outside community. A school and Principal must understand the importance of parental involvement and how to achieve it. The Principal must establish those relationships and foster them, ones of trust between the parents and the school and the community. This is an ongoing endeavor, making and growing the relationships for the success of your school and

Including community members will increase their willingness in making contributions to the school. The community contributions I recommend that all stakeholders understand local and state revenue sources when making decisions. Training may need to be required for all stakeholders. It is important for them to learn the organizational and technical aspects of funding; so that, they all can work together cooperatively. All the decision made should be in the best interests of the students. School fundraisers and grant monies should be use for the needs of students. The budget for school infrastructure relies heavily on the central office decisions. This is the downfall for any school district. In my opinion, each individual school truly understand the state of the facilities; therefore, the central office personnel should take into heavy considerations of their concerns. Advocating for a renovated or new building can play a role in considering the

As an educational leader, I must have a vision and mission statement for the school that is known by the staff, students, and parents. The vision will address the needs of the students academically, emotionally, and socially. According to DuFour (1998), “ Those who seek to transform their school into a professional learning community as characterized by an environment fostering mutual cooperation, emotional support, personal growth, and a synergy of efforts.” The leader must implement a plan that will cultivate the success of all students. The mission will speak to the direction of the school community stating what the desire goals are. The building leader will lead by example. High expectations will be communicated and encourage by staff and students. The educational leader of a school must develop a culture of team work to create a climate that is student friendly. The vision mission and goals of the leader should be transparent. The establishment of common goals is the first step. Without common goals, sustainable progress will be impossible and thus everyone will have lower expectations. The students, parents, and staff should be commented to the goals of every child reaching their full academic potential. The school environment should speak to goal setting and high expectations for all students and staff.

Scrubs are apart of the unsaturated market. Any product that needs to be purchased again and again such as food, is unsaturated because once food is eaten, customers need to purchase more in order to survive. When food is intaken, it is most likely placed in a bowl or plate, thus then needing to be washed. As long as there are spills, and messes, there will need to be scrubs to clean up those surfaces. With scrubs being an unsaturated product, there will always be a demand for them.

The concept of toilet paper is genius. The concept allows us to grab, and rip of a piece without touching the next piece. No one wants to get gross bathroom germs. Common illnesses, like a stomach bug, pass through bathrooms, and fungi like, athlete’s foot, occur in the bathroom from walking bare foot. Everyone gets the stomach bug at sometime, but most think of contracting the disease from being near someone that has it. In fact you get from being in a germ-filled bathroom. Imagine all of the times your mom told you to go wash your hands after you went to the bathroom, it’s because the bathroom can be a gross place. Things like toilet paper help us stay clean and reduce the amount of germs spread in the bathroom. Also, down there, it does a great job. I can walk around freely, after I do my business without worrying about stench, for I know toilet paper did a good job. I personally use Scott’s brand toilet paper, which I highly recommend. It’s very soft, and also very strong.
