Prince Georges’ County Public Schools (PGCPS) are in deep need of reservoir of good will – a bed of positive emotion that grows in good times, and protects the brand when sentiment – or the media is negative.
A critical format to showcase and share this goodwill is the development of a Strategic Content Architecture. The Content Architecture begins with be an approved roster of core messages that address organizational priorities and strategically address pain points. The messages would presumably be designed to:
• tell the great, but often buried, stories of success and wins coming from PGCPS
• increase enrollment at Prince Georges County Schools among county residents with highest incomes
• dispel myths related to the curriculum, testing scores, or the

This should certainly include writers/columnists, bloggers, popular social networkers, parents, etc. But it must stretch its arms to engage new audiences. For example, since PGCPS struggles to solicit attendance from more affluent, educated residents, this group should be chief among the audience for influential voices. Bring them in to do job fairs and host fundraisers for area non-profits. Connect them to the school system’s brand so that they feel inspired to advocate – and ultimately to enroll their own children.
• This group may serve as an informal committee to test ideas/concepts. o Social platforms are critical to the successful distribution of positivity, but PGPCS’s social footprint is considerably smaller than it should be. Grow your social dialogue to share stories that are aspirational, and that connect you with county/regional business, non-profits and even other Prince Georges County services. Become a beacon for the good things that are happening throughout the region. Become the go-to resource for parents, since after all the services you provide go far beyond those of a conventional
Communication within the Westside School District No. 5 between the school district and the communities and families that it serves is a very dynamic process. I talked with district administrators, community members, researched pertinent information in the Arkansas State University library, and various governmental online sources and found very helpful information to include in this sociological inventory. Westside Consolidated School District No. 5 is a consolidation of primarily three school districts Bono, Cash and Egypt located in Craighead County, Arkansas in 1966 (Westside, 2017). The district also includes parts of Walnut Ridge and Alicia in Lawrence County and parts of Jonesboro in Craighead County. The district has three school buildings housing students from pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The elementary school is the school for
I filed an application with Chesapeake Public School systems, so that I could become a part of an organization that values teamwork, dedication, and academic success. Chesapeake Public Schools exhibits a positive, collaborative, and cooperative learning environment not only for the students but for their employees as well. Being committed to the academic development and success with the help and support of students, parents, teachers, and other staff members is a plus to any working environment. These are great attributes for any organization to possess, which is why I chose to become a part of the Chesapeake Public School.
June 16th 2015 a public Session of the Beaufort County School Board meeting took place in the media room of Bluffton Community Library. Those that presented on the agenda were Paul Roth, Michael Rivers, Eva Anderson and Drew Davis. Roth discussed allocating money for future sports storage the district. Michael Rivers and Eva Anderson spoke on modification of physical education in primary schools and reintroducing P.E. back into the 7th grade curriculum. Drew Davis took the majority of the board meeting to a discuss a 3 year long initiative to drug test students participating in high school level sports for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. Considering students voluntary participate in sports it is not violating their 14th Amendment rights.
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.
Clay Country Schools are located in the southwest corner of North Carolina. The school district is currently the only that serves the county providing all grade levels, Pre-K through 12th Grade located on one campus. The campus consists of Hayesville Elementary School, Hayesville Middle School, and Hayesville High School. Historically Clay County Schools has not always been the only public school system to serve the county. Below is a case study of the history of the schools in Clay County and the demographic and fiscal characteristics of the current school system along with statewide comparisons and a recent North Carolina school lawsuit.
The mission of the Imaginary County Public Schools is to provide a top-notch, exceptional and meticulous education settings for high school students that:
Education is the best way to continue the revolution started by Mr. Adams and others. I work hard to achieve good grades and I devote countless hours to tutoring others to ensure their success as well. I work, plan, build, and dream in order to achieve the success God has planned. With hard work and courage, I will make a difference in this world that will benefit many. PSM symbolizes a learning torch for many children who come from all walks of life as it provides a vigorous education, a safe environment, and a platform to push oneself beyond perceived limits. Mr. Adams hires passionate teachers who care about our learning and well-being. In return, we demonstrate our appreciation by attending prestigious colleges, making noticeable contributions to society, and returning to talk to the new up and coming PSM students. I admire Mr. Adams and all of the righteous undertakings he has endured. And just like Mr. Adams, I plan to pass the torch on to the next generation yet to
The Power of Their Ideas is a collection of journal entries and essays by former New York City principal, Deborah Meier, who successfully created an alternative public school program. Long before the current school reform movement began Deborah Meier invested her heart and soul into creating a school environment that continues to foster to the whole child. For her, hearing the self-confident voices of children was a reminder that they are all-alike and are indeed capable of generating powerful ideas. With this as a mantra she has not only sought to build the individual student but the community as a whole.
Educating the partners on the prevalence of abuse in our community and what we can do to protect more kids, increases the capacity to lead community efforts. Each meeting that I hold at the CAC shares a little bit of knowledge about emerging trends and practices in our work. Having representation from the various groups is essential for this capacity building and also having more community education events.
The principal needs to remember that his/her decisions will implement many consequences. This fictional school referenced contained many fights that year. Suspending both of them it risks continuing the pattern of disciplining the harmed. But when the bullied doesn’t get punished, it changes the rules moving forward. In the school system, all students should feel equal with no favoritism. “If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone.” In all reality, nobody has to do the same thing for everyone because sometimes people are not able to. “Life is not fair and they’re concerned with what everyone is going to say (Gary Coxe).” Decisions shouldn’t be made due to how it affects everyone at the same time. Conditions aren’t the same and neither
From describing the problems that Saginaw Public Schools face regarding why the district is in a deficit the next step is to identify solutions to Saginaw Public Schools problems. The first solution to Saginaw Public Schools problems is to consolidate Arthur Hill High and Saginaw High into one high school. Under this plan one of the area high schools would have to close. The one high school would be an International Baccalaureate High school which will have an increase in science and math curriculum by offering courses in science technology and engineering. There will also be an option for students to take numerous foreign language courses and more advance placement courses which will deal with issues of equity by providing all students
To offer a little background info - our district is rapidly growing. Our schools are basically at capacity right now. Our projected growth is approx. 250 new students a year for the next 10 years. There will not be room for our kids without planning for the future.
“The PB process gives an opportunity for neglected and underprivileged communities to curate ideas and programs to make an impact. The youth who lives in these communities are the ones who know more than anyone else about their own communities. It gives them a chance to figure out the problems we face
Participating in the Positive Peer Pressure club of Loudon County (P3) has taught me how the smallest actions create the biggest outcomes. The majority of students have little to no interest in participating in the P3 club, but I knew the day I started high school that I had to join. The club advocates against bullying, smoking, and driving under the influence, which are all issues I have faced at one point in my life or another. For this reason, I believe it is important that P3 continues its actions towards the community. The reward of brightening someone’s day with information and encouragement is unforgettable, especially during the Great Kindness Act. The Great Kindness Act takes place in January where P3 fills the school with positive
I have worked for Porterville Unified School District (PUSD), in Porterville, California, my entire career.
