K-12 Executive Summary

The goal of the Learners 2 Success Center is to start a book source initiative to help the students that are attending at Saint Petersburg College.

Our needs assessment was primarily accomplished through our meeting with Nurse Munsey, who gave us a general overview of the main nutrition concerns of the children at Crownover Middle School. A number of questions for Nurse Munsey that were directed at collecting information that we felt would be pertinent to the age group. No survey was sent out to the teachers. Instead, Nurse Munsey sent an email before our meeting to see what teachers would be interested in having us present. The following is a summary of what was found.

In essays done by Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver, the dialogue is utilized to help create the story. In two completely different short stories called ‘Hills like White Elephants” and “Cathedral” dialogue helps bring these stories a little bit closer, and explain them a little bit better. The authors could have used various ways to write the dialogue. They could have used simple or complex language, interpret emotions, advance the plot, and used specific styles.

Today, we have advantaged schools and disadvantaged schools. Due to so many biases in the educational sector today, some schools are well equipped with the right resources and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Usually, these learning institutions are located in the rich neighborhoods or are privately owned by individuals. The opposite is the case for schools that are located outside this neighborhood. They are branded as poor schools, and they are left with poor infrastructure with less resources and sub-standard education because there are not enough teachers. Technology in these kinds of schools is too obsolete for students to benefit from it. The future of education depends on the responses or support from the government. The government needs to step in and improve the current state of our schools and equip them to increase the quality of education. Government needs to step up the need for teachers and encourage teachers in order to solve the problem of attrition rate in the public schools. The future of education in the United States of America is bright, but this entire problem, especially the attrition rate, will become a stumbling block to the growth of education. The budget allocated to the department of education should be increased enough for the school district to be able to counter the problem of attritional rate between teachers. The government should ensure all technology and infrastructures are up to date. The teacher-to-student ratio has to be brought down to a very reasonable figure by employing more teachers and building new classes. Technology is rapidly increasing and changing so e –learning should be incorporated into school curriculum to ensure future education is secured in the area of online studies. E-learning should be introduced into school curriculum in such a way that students will be able

The teachers in our county use Raz-Kids for students in K-12. I like this program because the e-text reader can model fluent reading for the student and it can also highlight the words while students follow along. This feature can draw attention to sight words and help build word recognition. When students listen to a book they can focus on the meaning of what is on the page instead of struggling to decode the words.

As part of the community’s growth, large technology firms moved into the community and while they were willing to assist local schools, they also expected high school graduates to be skilled technology workers (MacDonald, 2006). To meet this need, the school board adopted a goal of providing a technology resource teacher in every school within the next three years. In addition, the school board had a five-year plan to increase and support instruction and instructional leadership in schools and improve student assessment scores on state exams in mathematics. In two years they planned to reduce language

In the southeast corner of Pennsylvania, lies the town of Kennett Square. While it is a part of two school districts, the downtown area is located in the Kennett Consolidated School District. Like with all districts, there are intricacies that make Kennett special. The students are the essence of any school and those that attend affect the climate and culture. Another group of important people in the building is the teachers and administrators that help the school function every day. There are many moving parts in an educational system, and the way they come together tells the story of a school.

This research plan is important as we are seeing an increased interest in the program, but before we can enroll additional students, we need to see if this program is making a difference in the completion rate. Moreover, the research will assist in deciding if it is beneficial to budget for additional user licenses if more students would be participating. This evaluate of the high school online learning software (APEX) will determine the effectiveness of the online program and in increasing high school graduation rates in this school district.

For the purpose of this assignment I sat in on a school board meeting for Central Dauphin School District. This board meeting was held on April 10th, 2017. This district holds school board meetings two times per month. Every meeting has an agenda that they follow along with a guided script. There were nine different sections for this meeting. The order is as follows, call to order, roll call, flag salute, additions, deletions, or modifications to the agenda, review and approval of meeting minutes, information and proposals, unfinished business, new business and adjournment.

On Monday,October 14, 2013 at 7:00 P.M., I attended the Bradford Area School District school board meeting at Floyd C. Fretz Middle School in the large group instruction room. This meeting was important for the teachers, students, and the schools in the district. It provided information that correlated to the material in class and a perspective on what situations as a future teacher I may experience.

It is no secret that technology plays a critical role in our society. In fact, it has become one of the most used items in the world, starting from personal computers and ending in smartphones, thus it was only a matter of time when educational institutions would start to utilize these gadgets in order to improve the overall state of current education. According to a U.S Department of Education (UDE, n.d) report, all 48 states, including the District of Columbia are now offering online education. Additionally, the report states that these schools operate on all kinds of scales, including state scale, district scale and charter scale, thus it would safe to assume that the whole state of current education in the United States is large and the whole approach is clearly technology based. However, despite the

If the Ancient Athenian democracy upheld John Rawls’ conception of justice, Socrates would most likely face a similar plight because Rawls’ notion of justice states that rules put forth should not be twisted or “discarded” to one’s own advantage. Socrates’ beliefs concur with the idea that if there is a consensus among rational people on a decision and everyone has made in advance a firm commitment to facilitate the law, then no one can “tailor the canons of a legitimate complaint” to a certain condition. These ideas bear resemblance to that of Socrates because he believed while people have some basic rights as to what they can do, he feels that he is obligated to do as his city government commands him to do due to the fact he thought Athenian

It seems that technology is growing, improving, and changing at an exponential rate. Technology now affects every part of our lives from the time we get up to the time we go to bed, and even as we sleep. One of the major areas that has been affected by technology is education. At one time, the only option for students to complete their education was in a traditional classroom setting. There has become a major need for non-traditional education because there has been a growth in the amount of non-traditional students that exist in our society. The advancement of technology has

April Chamberlain (2014), education guru on education productivity stated that, “Education is evolving due to the impact of the Internet. We cannot teach our students in the same manner in which we were taught. Change is necessary to engage students not in the curriculum we are responsible for teaching, but in school. Period.” For this analysis, SIATech High School, will be used as evidence that there is an educational return on investment using innovation, sustainability efforts, and Six Sigma processes when seeking and saving funding for the budget restricted atmosphere of education. Also, while aligning the importance of providing a quality service and education to students through innovative learning and teaching techniques that will help save on costs that will be invested back into the classroom. Return on investment in education is not only measured monetarily. Education leaders do not typically pursue an economic return on spending, however metrics like student learning and graduation rates are imperative data points that need to be collected in order to determine and apply for funding and grants to increase funding (Frank & Hovey, 2014).
