The Graduation Standards From Cherry Creek School

Teachers are forcing kids away from taking specific classes due to bias opinions, which is why for many schools in the United States language is not looked at as a priority. Picture growing up in a small town, in Maine, which in the data table from Shin and Kominski’s report showed to be a state with the least amount of citizens that spoke a language other than English as their primary language, shows that for some people language is hard to see has being important. In High School some have found a passion in language but don’t receive the proper curriculum that would allow them to succeed. Instead of introducing language in High School, our school systems should focus on adding it into the curriculum that is taught in elementary school and middle school. By starting when you are young, the time you are graduating high school you can speak at least one other language and classify yourself as bilingual. Dianne Steinbach explained it as, “Something that many of us took for granted when we were younger people is now disappearing” (First Speakers:Restoring). Since there is such a large increase in language diversity

Moreover, that gap is steadily growing. In addition, the rankings are worse among people of color who are still largely educated in segregated and ill-equipped school systems. With regards to reading, the United States fares better—primarily because of focused efforts on building literacy and improving teacher preparation in reading for comprehension and learning styles.

Multilingual programs have the potential to segregate and disadvantage children; yet, they also can be a valuable tool for educators to address student’s needs. Proposition 58 puts the power of choice in the hands of parents and educators, who best know the students affected. Therefore, after thorough analysis, I am a supporter of this

Americans have hidden behind the excuse that everybody important knows English for too long. The United States is the only country in the world where a student can graduate from college without ever having learned a foreign language. Most countries start foreign language instruction at ten years of age or younger. It is time we did something ourselves and stopped letting everyone else do the work. One credit of foreign language instruction should be required in order for graduation from high school in Laramie County School District Number One.

This course has really enlightened my view of being able to learn the value of linguistic and cultural diversity and the influential learning opportunities it gives today’s classrooms and schools. We as teacher educators were allowed to examine our attitudes, beliefs, and preferences regarding linguistically and culturally diverse students, families, and communities and learn methods for working together to confirm high levels of learning for all students. Also, strategies for guaranteeing

I believe that my life embodies the four standards of the National Honors Society. The four standards are exhibited in my everyday life. Therefore, I am a wonderful candidate for the National Honors Society.

Nichols ruling mandated public school systems to address language barriers that prevent their students from accessing the curriculum. As a result, schools now identify students with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), provide them with bilingual education or English as a Second Language (ESL) services, and monitor their programming and progress through beginning, middle, and end of year Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC) meetings. In response to the current demographics and continual increase in diversity, there exists a greater need for educators to be culturally proficient, value differences, and foster caring relationships in order to meet the individual needs of all students, provide them with equal educational opportunities, and reduce the gap in their educational outcomes. The use of multicultural teaching strategies also empowers students and teachers, improving education

Why? Why is this happening to me? I’m a good student and a decent person, why is it that when I get one bad grade in a class for a single semester, I now have to take summer school to even graduate high school?! Thoughts similar to these will occur in students’ minds in the upcoming years with the new Core 24 graduation requirements that are being implemented in Washington State. Core 24 is a new set of specifications for high school graduation that demands twenty four full credits in order to attain graduation requirements for high school, starting with the class of 2019. All school districts maintaining the traditional six period schedule, whether they be block schedule or not, will require students to participate in summer school, night

As of late, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has shown great improvements in its high school s. Over the past 16 years the high school graduation rates has steadily increase. Students were more likely to drop of school as they were to graduate; now students are three times likely to graduate as to dropping out. For the CPS high scholars, graduation is a strong indicator of a host of very important life outcomes, including post-secondary and employment outcomes, health, incarceration, and life expectancy. These outlooks trends potentially suggest a much brighter outlook for the thousands of Chicago enrolled students today, when we compare it to the students in previous years.

Sometimes, Americans tend to think that they are the best at everything, no matter what. However, if one looks at the facts, he would see that they aren't. In education, America is trailing behind many countries. In America there is much stress with schooling, and how it is so important to be successful. Things such as the length of school, cost of schooling, and the early ages of schooling, will show how countries such as the U.K. are surpassing the United States in education.

In this world, all languages and dialects will be taken and woven together to produce a picture that's beauty is on a scale never before seen. It is my firm belief that to achieve this world of beauty, people in every corner of the Earth should push for the study of foreign language to be set in the mandatory curriculum for all students.

     You would think that America being number one in almost everything; education would be at the top of that list. Well compared to other countries in the world it really sucks. The Asian educational system is among the top in the world. They are the leaders in math and sciences. Do you

As a result of this, the system is constantly receiving criticism concerning the quality of the American system. (U.S.D.E. The Educational System in the U.S…) In fact, a recent study done by the National Institute on Student Achievement, Curriculum, and Assessment, states that in fourth grade math, Japan ranks third out of twenty-six countries while the U.S. ranks only twelfth, and that in eighth grade math, Japan keeps the ranking of third out of forty-one, while the U.S. drops to twenty-eighth. As result of these criticisms, sets of voluntary guidelines and standard achievement tests have recently been introduced as an effort to “catch up” to the other

The opposition to requiring a foreign language in High School argue that it violates the right of students to choose some classes. They say it restricts the number of electives a student can take but a foreign language is far more important than some elective. A foreign language class is something that will benefit the student for the rest of their life. Students already have required classes for math, science, English, history, and a fine art, but a language is a fine art. In a foreign

Language is a key part of any family, community, culture and the human race. Without language the world today would be much different. From cavemen, to the Egyptian use of hieroglyphics, to Old English, to more than 6,500 languages spoken around the world today, the advances that humans have made in language is remarkable and inspiring. The ability to speak, read, write and understand more than one language is also remarkable and expands the liberties in life, especially for young people. High school students should be required to take at least two years of a foreign language class in order to graduate, as many recent studies support the benefits of doing so. Students who have learned a foreign language in high school have proven to have a
