Rationale Madison Community Unit School District services students grades K-12 and they have a support center that houses these same grade levels for challenged children. Children who display violence, and who are overly aggressive with students and teachers, during the school year are also sent to the support center. Ultimately, this is done as a means of attempting to reshape behavior that could ultimately result in some students being expelled for the remainder of the school year, or being sent to an alternative school. The demographic makeup of the Junior and senior high school is a matriculation of 300 students, which consist of 92.2% black, 4.8% white, 1.2% Hispanic, and 1.8% of two or more races. This school provides service to a base of 99% low income student, 11% of these students have an IEP, and the total number of students followed by the counselor equates to 199 students amongst Jr high and high school. The graduation rate is 82% which is rather high, but the percentage that is college ready is 6% and that seems rather low to me. The Counseling techniques utilized by the counselor is 50% career development and 50% educational improvement. There is a high need for social emotional training as well as the entire school needs to be addressed about bullying. Its evidence of this behavior taking place with the females, and the school is curious if it is happening with the males too. I will be tasked in the upcoming future, with creating a group for
I teach first grade at Lowe Elementary School; my class is made up of twenty-four very diverse seven year-olds; they come from all over the city of Louisville, from a variety of socio-economic situations. Each student brings a unique personality to our classroom community, and they all work hard to become “smarter and smarter” and to “go to college”. Thirteen students are boys and eleven are girls. Of these twenty-four students, three of them are English Language Learners. Additionally, eight students receive tier two interventions and two receive tier three interventions in reading. In math, five students are tier two and four are tier three. I also teach one student who receives ECE services for a developmental delay. Within my class there is a wide achievement gap.

James Madison begins his famous federalist paper by explaining that the purpose of this essay is to help the readers understand how the structure of the proposed government makes liberty possible. Each branch should be, for the most part, in Madison's opinion, independent. To assure such independence, no one branch should have too much power in selecting members of the other two branches. If this principle were strictly followed, it would mean that the citizens should select the president, the legislators, and the judges. But, the framers recognized certain practical difficulties in making every office elective. In particular, the judicial branch would suffer because the average person is not aware of the qualifications judges should
A major issue that is a result of racial tensions in my district is the fact that there are two high schools in the district that have a majority of Caucasian students and a majority of African American students. This has led to the students in those schools not often being exposed to many students of a different race. Therefore these students respond poorly to diversity, and it has led to the minority students in both of those school feeling belittled and overlooked. Similarly, these students feel adverse to diversity, and this has resulted in most of them feeling dislike for students that are different than them.
Attending community college before completing your bachelor’s degree at a four-year institution can save you a sizable chunk of change. Tuition and fees at public community colleges average less than half of those at public four-year colleges and about one-tenth of those at private four-year colleges, according to the American Association of Community Colleges. “I think my student loan was at least half of what I would have paid otherwise,” O’Brien says.
In the years following the Revolutionary War, the economic and political condition in the newly declared nation was disastrous. The young states were in extreme debt after the expense of the war, and economic growth was hampered by the fact that each state had its own tariffs and currencies. The Continental Congress was helpless to repair the dilemma because of its inability to tax (Garraty, 1971).
The debate that was being discussed was whether to change the branches of the government or not. James Madison drafted the Virginia plan and brought it to the convention. His idea, encompassing a revolutionary idea, plans to scrap the articles of confederation. By scrapping the current rule, they will divide power, allowing room for democracy. The outcome of the argument will determine how power will be divided in the government and how decisions will be made.
Currently, I am student teaching at Alfred E. Zampella PS #27 School in the district of Jersey City. The school is located in a busy city, next to John F. Kennedy St. which is especially busy in the morning and during rush hour. This results in several late students on a day to day basis. On the other hand, this school is also highly accessible and as a little over a thousand students. The school has grade levels from kindergarten to 8th grade, and has a mix of general, special, and inclusion education classrooms. Typically, families that enroll their students into this school are of lower-middle socio-economic class, and tend to be majority Hispanic, Indian, and African American, with few Caucasians and Asians. This school provides a variety of special programs for their ESL students and special need students. Students may be offered speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, ESL programs, reading recovery, and counseling.

A student in Madera High School has experienced a form of bullying throughout the individual's sophomore year. The sophomore was being bullied constantly on a daily bases by another student that committed a perpetrate action for the fact that the students color of skin was different. This not only set the student apart but, also as seen from the bully the small size that the targeted student appearance was. The form of bullying that the student experience is bullying and harassment. This was bullying because the student would constantly get bullied on a regular bases. This involves from getting called names and even getting hit by the individual. This made the targeted student weak and felt that nobody can be a sign of help. The bullying constantly began to happen but the target did not seek for attention of any kind. Some possible attention or help would be talking to a classmate about the situation, talking to a staff member, or even notifying the parents that this is happening. The outcome of the results could help prevent this from happening or even helping the next victim that could be targeted. The bully may have been bullied before and this could be a revenge on somebody but, this could just happen because the bully sees that it is a easy target to bully. Eventually, the targeted student was done with the situation and wanted to end this bullying
The Woodson Foundation, a large nonprofit social service agency, is teaming up with the public school system in Washington, D.C, to improve student outcomes. It appears the schools have problems with truancy, low student performance and crime. The teachers are discouraged to help students due to the disrespect and behavioral issues in the classroom. The turnover rate for the best teachers is high, they tend to leave and go to schools that aren’t as troubled (629).
