Research Paper On State Street Elementary

Lincoln High School, which is located in a low-income neighborhood in San Diego, was a rebuilt after 50 years of failing to educate children. Rebuilding the high school was the answer the community had been looking for they were hopeful. Before the rebuild most students who attended Lincoln did not meet the standards for their grade-level, few graduated and even fewer went go on to college. After years of suffering and neglect there was little doubt That Lincoln High School deserved the $129 million it received from the city to rebuild. But was rebuilding the school the solution for Lincoln High School 's education problem? First we’ll examine, How the problem started, the decision making steps and if the plan was successful.

Union Hill Elementary School is embedded in an area of rich history in the City of Worcester. Their school building was built following the Civil War and has withstood the changes of time from its early years of a primarily Jewish Immigrant and merchant town to today’s urban neighborhood, rich in diversity but plagued with instability, crime and poverty. In March of 2010, Union Hill was identified as a Level IV School; it was a school that lacked structure with a chaotic environment with many deficits. There was a lack of supervision, schedule, standard-based curriculum, effective instruction and leadership. Most importantly, there was a lack of trust among the parents. They did not have the faith that Union Hill was going to give their children the best education possible. Under the supervision of new Principal Marie Morse, changes were made. There was a new level of commitment and passion among the school staff that drove them toward creating five areas of focus for the year:

[Many classrooms today are comprised of different children with different learning styles. Each class is unique and different in their own way. P.S. 45 is a title one school which means that the majority of the students live in a household of low income families. In this classroom, approximately 90% of the students attending reside in low-income neighborhoods. While the label of title one indicates that the state is providing the resources for students to thrive, it can also indicate that there is a lot of pressure placed on the students to do well. This urban elementary school ranges from Pre-K classes to 5th grade. Special education services, as well as several other services, such as

As a new charter school located in a vibrant neighborhood in Wilmington, our school has worked directly with neighbors, community groups, local nonprofit organizations and local elected and government leaders to establish a good relationship and prepare the way for our students and families to benefit from our neighborhood and location. The Brandywine neighborhood where our school is located is in the center of downtown Wilmington, easily accessible to many local businesses and government agencies, and area neighborhoods, by foot and by public transportation. We have worked extensively with local community groups, agencies and organizations to ensure that the relationship between our school and the community is mutually beneficial. When

I live in Abington School district, and I would have attended Abington schools if I did not attend a charter school, so I was pleased that it worked out that on April 11th I could attend a school board meeting there. Because I had to work that night, I arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting, but my father, who is a middle school band teacher in Phoenixville school district, went there early to save me a seat and let me know what happened.

Their average class size ranges between 17.0 to 21.4 students in a classroom. Kindergarten’s average of class size was 17.0, first grade was 21.0, second grade was 18.5, third grade was 21.4, fourth grade was 20.3 and fifth grade averaged out to be 20.6. The school district earned 281 points for student achievement, 253 points for student progress and 331 points for closing performance gaps.

Honest. Honest was the first characteristic that stood out to Superintendent/Principal, Mr. Ambrose Duckett, III. Mr. Duckett has served at Eastampton Community School for eight years as the Assistant Principal, Director of Instruction, Technology, and Curriculum. He also served as the Districts Affirmative Action Officer and Anti-Bullying Coordinator. The 2016-2017 marks Mr. Duckett’s first years as the Superintendent/Principal.While Mr. Duckett holds many jobs and “where many hats”, his most rewarding aspect of them all is achieving students success through improving test scores.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Jerry Standifer for the Assistant Superintendent position at West Fargo Public Schools. In my first week of employment at West Fargo Public Schools, Mr. Standifer scheduled a luncheon meeting to discuss his position as AVID Coordinator and the specific goals within the program to support our students in preparing them for post-secondary and their future careers. I was very impressed with the passion he demonstrated for students and their learning. My respect for Mr. Standifer’s leadership skills continued to soar over the past five years working closely with him on our Administrative Leadership Team and as the district coordinator for our AVID program.

David Kane is an African-American young gentleman, who has been latterly awarded the position of a principal at the Thurgood Marshall High School, Illinois. The school is two years old and divided into four “house”, each comprised of 300 students, 18 faculty members and a housemaster. Dr. Louis Parker had been the school’s first principal and had an impressive background, but he reassigned in disillusionment and many described him as a “broken man” .

With many businesses, suburbs, and large enrollment growth, Northwest high school has become very crowded and requires many classes to be taught in portables. With an enrollment increase of 39.79% (483 students) between 2001 and 2015, Northwest’s problems take precedence. This bond issue isn't a game of favoritism, but many serious decisions of priority. At this time our school building isn't hindering any student’s ability to learn, nor is it structurally unstable, therefore it is not the school district’s largest

Conducting Field Observations was a wonderful opportunity for me. The school at which I did my observation is Williamsburg Montessori School (WMS). Located in the beautiful riverfront school building at Schaefer Landing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Williamsburg Montessori School serves parents of children from three (3) months to six (6) years of age. The neighborhood in which the school is located is very quiet and is populated by a variety of people from different ethnic backgrounds, Black, White, Asian, etc. Across from the school, constructors could be seen working on new buildings, in addition to the already established condominiums that dominate the community. There were people walking about their business. Others walked their pets while some cycled back and forth pass the school.

Fredrickson has for her students and her school is beyond anything I have ever seen both at Sartell – St. Stephen and Cornell University. Every day she comes to the high school between 6:00 and 7:30AM for staff meetings, student council/honor society meetings, or school events. She stays as late as 7:30 or 8:00PM to grade papers, organize and prepare for upcoming events, give busy students an extra time to makeup tests or assignments, and help struggling students. During this time, Mrs. Fredrickson works with a passion unparalleled by the most enthusiastic of teachers. There are very few who know how much time and effort Mrs. Fredrickson puts in to help others succeed, but it is this high level of commitment that makes her the best teacher in Sartell – St. Stephen and the best teacher I have had in my educational

Imagine going to school everyday and enjoying learning. Then think of how you would feel if you found out that your beloved school would be sold. To receive enough money to execute the plan to build on-campus houses, the San Mateo Union High School District intends on selling Peninsula High School, the only alternative school in the district. This school has been especially designed students who need accommodations for their educational, behavioral, or medical needs. If over two hundred of these students are displaced, they will suddenly have no school to attend. Their education will be affected as they will be forced to transfer to a school with a traditional environment that does not meet their needs. Students who are having a difficult time at school may no longer be able to appreciate learning and going to school, making it harder for them to succeed. If the district were to sell Peninsula High regardless of using profit to build housing, the money could go towards better causes that benefit students such as adding more electives, purchasing lab equipment needed in the science department, and improving the school’s technology. It is simply illogical and senseless to take money away from students’ education in order to assist teachers with commute and

Everyone can remember a special year of school that one school year that tops all of them, well my “special” year was 8th grade. My reasoning for 8th grade being my favorite or “special” year is, because in 8th grade I had a lot of fun. To be specific I had many adventures like hanging out with friends outside of school, going to block parties, going horseback riding, visiting a civil war museum, and going to the school dance. If i'm being honest I may have gotten into a fair amount of trouble like for example I may or may not have lied for one of my close friends. My friend savannah decided it'd be funny to mimic the teacher which caused the teacher to get mad, and threaten to keep the class from going on the field trip to the recplex in
