One Mile Walk Project

6. Who was most influential on the group's decision-making process? What did he do that was so influential on the group? And what interaction style did he appear to be using?

2. Talk the walk - teachers using “common language and transparent actions” for deep and important school improvement and student learning. (87-88)

I later realized that I should try to get some of my friends and classmates involved too. l started out my junior year. One thing our teacher tried to teach us was the acts of random kindness. After practicing random acts of kindness throughout the school, I mentioned the idea of volunteering a couple of hours with the Angel Tree. I also encouraged our school’s Student Council to help. The club adopted two angels. By doing so, this gave the students the desire to want to volunteer again the following year. This year, we had Beta club, student council and two dual credit classes, a total of 40-50 students, volunteer at the warehouse for 2 days. Some even came back during Christmas Break and volunteered at the Distribution Day. Not only is it important to lead and serve others, but one should also encourage those around him or her to serve others as

Describe a student need (of a specific group of students or a broader population) you identified that required advocacy, collaboration, and/or leadership on your part within a larger learning community (e.g., school, district, community, professional association).

What is the importance of community? Please talk about your experience with working with diverse groups of people and how you interact with others that are different from you in a community setting.

a) b) Identify two different representative bodies which influence your area of work. Describe the role of the two representative bodies you have identified.

The third is Volunteering at the School and in the Community. Through programs such as “Project Appleseed” (Walker, 2011),

a. One step could be for us to create a continuous food drive in the residential halls here at UWEC and encourage students to donate a few cans of food each week. Cans that come in parent “care packages,” and sit on the shelf for the rest of the semester would be great candidates.

a) Decide on a program/initiative that you think would be worthy of the team creating. Describe the program/initiative.

The Long Walk was the forced removal of the Navajo people, which began in January 1864 in the Arizona and New Mexico states. It was hardly recognized by Americans at the time because of the Civil War and the slavery issues that were so much more important in the North and South part of the country. The Long Walk is the Navajo Nation’s own “Trail of Tears”. More than 8,500 Navajo men, women, and children were forced to relocate to an internment camp in New Mexico called the Bosque Redondo Reservation. The Navajo and some Apache were gathered from Arizona and New Mexico and had to walk between 375-498 miles depending on which route they took (Remley, pg 230).

I chose prompt #5 in order to show the education practices that the Choctaw tribe has developed within the last ten years, such as online classes, in order to keep the Choctaw language alive. The Choctaw language is not an available language class that you can take at a non-Choctaw public school or non-Native American college. Therefore, the tribal leaders had to create and develop education practices, that could be available to all tribal members no matter their age or where they currently

Leaders seek to identify a means for building a sense of community among those who work in a given institution.

As 2016 begins, make a resolution this year to ensure that your dog gets a daily walk. Whether you take your dog for a walk every day, or hire a dog walker to help assist you with walking your dog a few times a week. The important thing is that your dog gets out and gets walking on a daily basis. Here are a few benefits your dog will experience if you keep your resolution this year to take them on a daily walk.

This will be demonstrated through how the dress drive is marketed to the community and local subgroups within the community. This can be done through advertising on social media and within schools and religious groups in the area. Knowledge of diverse perspectives and belief systems will be demonstrated through the sensitive communication and understanding of various religious groups when talking to them about volunteering for the dress drive. It is important to understand that not every culture will agree with teenage and high school dances. These perspectives need to be respected. My capstone project will help me to think critically while putting the project together. I will need to consider where the best place is for the drive to take place. I will also have to think about how to market the drive so that it does not offend any of the girls that I am trying to help. Effective communication is necessary to make sure that the dress drive is successful and that the word reaches as many people as possible. Technology will be utilized in advertising on social media and then when inventorying the dresses before giving them out to girls before prom. Commitment will be exhibited through showing dedication to ethical and social responsibilities by helping to enable that all girls are able to have a prom dress. It is socially responsible of us to try to help those less fortunate than us. I also believe that this goes further than food and clothes, it is up to us to help those less fortunate have the experiences that all high school students have a right to such as prom. A dress drive enables the community to help those that are less fortunate by enabling them the opportunity to go to prom. Leadership will be demonstrated through putting this drive together while engaging the community in the dress drive

#2 We would like to help spread kindness around the school, just by doing random act that we all can appreciate, or even just sitting with someone new at lunch, possibly learning some very cool things about them that you didn’t know.
