The Wilson School District Board of Directors meets on the first and third Monday of each month to guide the operations of the district through six strategic vision planks. These planks seek to: improve upon or expand Wilson’s portfolio, grow Wilson regionally and nationally, increase organizational agility and capacity, engage in creative development of new and existing infrastructure, create a flatter organizational structure, and control for fiscal accountability.

Finally I ensured that pupils trusted that I would be there to help them at all times by reminding them both frequently that if they needed any support or assistance that they just needed to ask.

On April 26, 2017 I was made eighth grade secretary. Last year Mrs. Trimble, our advisor, just had us in her advisory. Thirty minutes a week to organize immense school functions for a little over one-thousand students wasn’t enough time, imagine that. This year we have student council as an elective class, so we are allowed more time to do what we need to. This is extremely nice because we have a lot to do as a board. Student council positions in high school can open up opportunities to apply for scholarships and prepare you for future jobs. Soon enough, I’ll start thinking about those possibilities, but all the worry is worth

School assemblies are a good way to constantly remind pupils and staff of what the school and its values represent.

Attention need to be is given to individuals that is fair to them, although this can be difficult at times especially when working with groups because children have different varying needs, some children need more support than others, so getting the balance right is essential to give children or young people the opportunity to participate. This can best be achieved by encouraging children and young people to put forward their own ideas, understanding that some pupils may find something’s difficult and need more assurance from you, understanding the needs of all pupils for example a child who has special education needs, will require different levels of support, sitting close to pupils whilst they are working will provide reassurance.

The overall intention of the school is the mission it may be short easily recalled phrase or a single word. it usually overlaps with the vision or aims of the school. Aims of the school may be short statements like instilling a thirst for lifelong learning in children or giving pupils the confidence to take up opportunities when they are offered. the values of a school represent the moral code that links it with its local community and informs expected behaviors and attitudes of pupils the children are valued by the school its staff and by each other should be seen very clearly in the way that the learning and development culture is celebrated by the school from posters and displays.

The great majority of students are sitting inside, with a total of 14 outside on benches and at picnic tables. Seating choices appear to be clustered by class.

Along with understanding and applying knowledge of young adolescents, as discussed with Standard 1, it is equally important to be an advocate for the students. By using professional leadership strategies, being an advocate for all young adolescents helps maximize their growth and learning. In order to be fully effective, working closely with family member and also with the community strengthen the ability to achieve this success.
