Mountain Home Junior High Reinvented Their After School Program

Young people wind up neglecting high school for various reasons. In this circumstance, a number of students either don't have the aspiration to remain in school or they simply cannot stand to pay the tuition. In a couple of cases, the students dropout, as a result of low quality teaching. According to the article, Let Kids Rule The School by Susan Engel, she states “I recently followed a group of eight public high school students, aged 15 to 17, in Western Massachusetts as they designed & ran their own school within a school.” This quote shows that in our society today, its critical to consider who our 'associates' are in a peer learning group & how they don’t have a part like an educator.

Also, it was found that 86 percent of respondents felt that after-school programs are a necessity. They felt that it is absolutely imperative that children are taken care of after-school. Finally, in the interview, elementary school principals were interviewed and 75 percent of those principals felt that after-school programs are extremely important. Principals see the importance in having these programs, and they see the positive effects they have on the students. (Ansell, 2004).

High School is an incredibly important period of life. It influences your social, academic, and personal life for four years, and prepares you for college and a career. This is the reason County Prep High School is my school of choice. County Prep's thriving social environment, challenging academic curriculum, and wide variety of electives will help me successfully carry out my plans for the future.

Let’s imagine a school with small group classroom sizes, preparing students for college and careers after high school. Also with diverse AP and honor classes by creating a program to help aid students to learn about these classes and the benefits. Since they haven’t created a program to prevent students falling into the government system. In my eyes this is an ideal school that can help and benefit students and the future way of learning. Although Denver South High School is doing well in the areas of diversity and culture, south could improve on preparing students for future careers, enlightening students on the benefits of AP and honor courses provided at the school and also creating

In the hypothetical case, the Rockshire High School official had reasonable cause to search Britney Sullivan’s cell phone for evidence that she and other students cheated on their AP History exam. The administrator suspects Britney because (1) the students scored extremely high on the AP History test (2) Britney has been in trouble in the past and is in the AP History class and (3) a teacher received a reliable tip from another student describing how the students cheated using social media. According to the Supreme Court case (New Jersey v. TLO, 469 U.S. 325 (1985).) the school administrator had the right to search the contents of the student's cell phone, since the administrator had reasonable cause to suspect the student of school policy infractions. The court’s decision in this case is that the student officials do not hold the same accountability of the police under search and seizure. Police are held to the strict accountability of probable cause while school officials according to the Supreme Court have only to prove reasonable cause. In this hypothetical case the supreme court would support the decision of the Rockshire High School administration to search a student's cell phone as evidence for cheating based on the fact that the administrator had evidence to support reasonable cause. The Supreme Court states, “reasonable grounds

All children need a safe place to be after school with caring, responsible adults and engaging activities that connect each child to his/her school, family and community. One method to provide this is through an after-school program. After school programs are any organized program, which invites children to participate in the traditional school day. In Lynda Barry´s essay, “The Sanctuary of School”, the author describes how the school helped her feel in a better environment since his parents had many problems and did not pay enough attention to her. Yes, Barry´s assessment of after-school programs is accurate. They are very important to children because from a social aspect it helps the children develop relationships, get them out of their comfort zones to try new things, meet new people, and overall improve on their general outlook on situations they may not have engaged on their own.

Social scientists and policy makers came to a realization early on that the program was not going as well as they would hope. Children and adult actively enrolled in schools struggled to maintain good grades and

Grant Elementary School’s mission is to create and build an integrated learning community based upon the principles of dignity, competence, individual achievement and preparing students for the future. My role at Grant School is to assist the Guidance Counselor in providing individual and group counseling to “at-risk” students who need additional support in an effort to address any barriers that interfere with success at school. Grant is a one-site school district located five miles southeast of Redding CA in the community of Centerville. The school serves approximately 125 preschool students and 655 K-8 students. The Centerville area is a rural setting featuring a real estate market with housing variety and available acreage. Many professional families choose to reside within the Grant attendance boundaries because of Grant’s high academic standards. Grant also attracts students from outside the attendance area. Over 57% of the children enrolled at Grant live outside the district’s boundaries. 79% of the student population is Caucasian, 9% Hispanic, 6% two or more races, 3% Asian, 2% American Indian and .5% African American, and 16% students participate in a free or reduced-cost lunch program. Counseling services were recently implemented this year at Grant School as a result of funding made available through Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).

In this outline, Jason W. Brooks goes over what advantages the principle of Newton High School in Iowa, Bill Peters promoted during his speech with the Newton Community School District Board of Education. Peter’s speech consisted of the positives that come along with having a blocked schedule also he states how flexible the schedule can be. The two main arguments are the flexibility and to keep the seniors on campus. The president believes that “Block scheduling not only puts some kids through a freshman (college) year’s worth of

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

The problem at Alta Vista is that the support systems that a student has between home and at school do not collaborate enough to promote the student’s success. We thought that maybe parents did not motivate them or push them, so when we asked specifically if students feel pushed by parents or support network 17 out of 23 said yes. Before doing research, we thought a solution was to involve parents, but now we know the problem is that they do not have time to be as involved as you see in suburban schools. The new solution is to help make time and explain thoroughly how the systems work and that it is important for them to also be involved at home. If we bring back PTO meetings then the leader parents can help other parents. The meeting would

After- school programs have been around for long time. However, their initial purpose was different than what is demanded in today’s society. The after school program was originally developed in urban communities in response to the decline in child labor and the rise in mandatory schooling. This combination altered the day of an urban child. The child would go to school, and come home with nothing to do. They could not work anymore because of child labor laws. With this being a new law, parents did not know what to do with their children because they had to work into the late hours of the evening. Also, urban housing had unkempt, undesirable conditions for living. This caused many

Over the past 5 years, Peter and the school have gained a considerable amount of media attention for the implementation of uncommon programs and learning models. From allowing students to vary the times they attended school to best fit their lifestyle to removing the traditional year level structure from 2015 onwards, Peter and the leading board of the college have proposed and implemented an expansive list of self defined innovations both to improve their current education model and move towards his vision of the future schooling community. These however have been a pitfall in Peter’s leadership as there are groups amongst the college’s teacher and parental population who believe this is purely a marketing campaign in order to drum up media coverage, hype and numbers and that many of these ideas are ill thought-out and essentially unsustainable within the framework and budget of the school and have given little consideration to the added stresses placed on parents and

Choice is a luxury most in rural China cannot afford but, as a 16-year old girl who had just arrived to the United States, the myriad of choices that lay before me was extremely awesome. I equated the impressive array of choice in terms related to good fortune or even wealth, and this beginning would serve as the impetus to my achievements in this country thus far. But, what compelled me to leave my home and family, and travel alone to this country, was to become educated. Where I am from in China, education seems almost to be a type of magic that can only be wished for; it is elusive to most. I recognized that education lay at the core of opportunity, and if I focused and worked hard I could one day share the good fortune of choice as well as the magic that only education can inspire others, both here as well as in China.
