Summary: Aurum Preparatory Academy Charter School

I observed for fifteen hours at Cherokee Charter Academy. Cherokee Charter Academy is a charter school in Cherokee County on Sixes Road. Cherokee Charter Academy includes kindergarten through eighth-grade classes. There are over nine hundred students and about sixty-five full-time teachers at Cherokee Charter Academy.

At Cherokee Charter Academy I observed the kindergarten classroom of Ms. Dunlap. Ms. Dunlap has been a kindergarten teacher for ten years. In this classroom, I observed the students, the instruction, standards, and the teacher.

"You know, 20 years ago when I started in this business, I never had to have discussions with the computer folks. My, how have times changed! Today, about 90% of my equipment located within the facility can be managed via my laptop and Web browser. Whenever I plug my laptop into the telephone looking jack in the wall, my operating system says that I'm now operating at 10 megabits. Then, whenever I browse to my equipment, I cannot retrieve any data. After going back and forth with the HVAC support techs, they determined that my connection needed to be 100 megabits.

All students deserve a quality education regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, or zip code. At Aurum Preparatory Academy Charter School (“Aurum Prep”), each of our students will receive a quality education that will prepare them for success in college and career. We know from numerous examples of high achieving schools in the communities of Oakland and around the country that all students can achieve at high levels when provided with the proper structure, strong instruction, and clear guidance. We will provide our students with a rigorous and seamless secondary education rooted in expanding their literacy and mathematics skills, and in full alignment with rigorous national standards as adopted by the State of California. At Aurum Prep, we foster character development through our FIRST values: Focus, Integrity, Respect, Self-Determination, and Team. For students to determine their own life’s trajectory, they must have a foundation that prepares them to (a) excel in college and life and (b) become responsible leaders in their communities and in our world. We must have high expectations and clear structures, all provided within a culture of joy for learning, working hard, and honoring our students’ fullest self-determined potential.

Ambassadors Preparatory Academy (084804) is in Galveston County and the charter district has an enrollment of 320 students as of 2013-2014 school year. Out of 320 students 290 or 90.6% is under economically disadvantaged. This is a high number of economically disadvantaged students. As a teacher, you have to adjust your lesson plan accordingly especially when planning a field trip or giving a project. Field trip is an important learning experience for students and having majority of the student falling under economically disadvantaged it will be hard to plan a field trip.

In addition to the clinical, academic, and professional experience I bring to Blackstone Valley Prep, I share an abiding belief in the mission of the school.

Improving access and equity in education are professional and personal goals, as I believe they are critical to the health and success of our citizenry. If selected, I will be honored to be part of Blackstone Valley Prep and will work enthusiastically towards achieving
