The Importance Of Student Achievements For The Arizona Virtual Schools

Instead of long standing professors being in high demand, the less experienced, lower-paid adjunct instructors are poised to lead the new generation of students. The online environment also minimizes the social aspect of school with both students and the teaching staff. Students will have to rely on a self-teaching approach and independent study.

Kowalski (2011) expressed the view that “organizational development, including school improvement, requires change” (p. 15). From the time Dr. Angela Murphy-Osborne (Dr. O) introduced herself to our Palmetto Family, as she called us, she brought this change. This change that I speak of is positivity. She spoke positive words and wished great accomplishments for us. Furthermore sharing her honest feelings about coming to PES. She explained that she did not want to come, but everything happens for a reason. Although she was hesitant about the decision, she still continued to be positive.

Every school district has board meetings throughout the school year. Unfortunately, many parents, community members, & school personnel do not attend such important meetings because they don’t realize or understand the importance of such board meetings or how informative they can be.

Teachers today face a number of challenges that contribute to a lack of job satisfaction, leaving schools for other professions that are more lucrative, low comparative compensation, and poor working conditions:

As a leader in urban education, working in under-served communities, I found that KIPP strategies worked! A highly functional learning community is an energizing place for teachers. I share KIPP’s belief that all students can and will learn, and with continued supportive guidance will succeed in life. In my current program, success and growth are the expectation with 100% of 5th graders receiving academic awards annually, and K-2 students growing five levels on the Fountas & Pinnell system during camp. These achievements are the shared results of teacher commitment and student grit.

I have submitted the Western High Case study as an artifact to meet Standard IV. This case study provides an example of how an educational leader applies knowledge that promotes the success of every student by collaborating with faculty, staff, students and community stakeholders. It provides an opportunity for the school and community to work together and on a common goal. It shows how valuable the community and its resources are to the success of a school. It is evident schools and communities need each other for the success of their students.

When districts can give their teachers time to plan, reflect, learn, and collaborate, they are better able to create an effective learning environment for their students. Lack of planning time is one of the reasons teachers cite for leaving their jobs and even the profession. Daily plan time is the norm, but other responsibilities can get in the way of being able to adequately use that time for planning and reflecting on teaching. Districts can provide additional time such as late start or early out so that teachers have the time to work with teammates and get the planning parts of their teaching completed. Teachers, who have the time within the school day to collaborate with fellow teachers and have time to plan quality lessons, will find their jobs more satisfying (Vilson, 2015). This time will increase teacher retention by allowing them to have the necessary time to learn new teaching strategies, analyze data to make adjustments to instruction, plan engaging lessons, and evaluate student

America was founded on the premise of equal opportunities for all. Despite this aspiration, American children coming from various racial, cultural, and ethnic groups experience educational disparity. According to the American Psychological Foundation (2012), these educational disparities are reflected among ethnic and racial groups in a child’s ability to get adequate health care and formative early childhood services. Additionally, students from minority groups have lower test scores on high-stakes tests, a higher likelihood of repeating a grade, and an increased rate of student drop-outs. (p.5). Many of the students who choose to attend Agora Cyber Charter school have experienced some or all of the disparities above. As a result, the

Curriculum is changing to Common Core and through that change the alternative site will be increasing the expectations of students while striving to retain the family culture of the school. I have been an integral part of implanting online and computer based instruction in the school. “Virtual Schools offer learning options to high-performing students and provide an opportunity for school success to those at risk of dropping out” (Roblyer, 2006, p. 31). Alternative education students enroll with a variety of performance levels, in one math class students can range from a 3rd grade math level to high school proficiency. The curriculum at the

After volunteering at Orchard Hill Elementary school, I have recognized many different aspects about the overarching climate and culture of the district, staff, and students. Both of these characteristics play a strong role in how faculty operate and report the satisfaction of their jobs. In order to fully understand the descriptions of these aspects, it is important to dissect their definitions and generate specific examples of how my organization fits into this environment.

I was homeschooled ever since I was just seven years old, up until about twelve years old, where I finally attended a public school. I attended Robertsdale Elementary School for 6th grade, and then as time progressed, I attended Central Baldwin Middle School, and now, at the age of fifteen, I am a ninth grader in Robertsdale High School. The reasons why I am interested in your virtual schooling program is because I feel that I am more than able to go back to independently working. In the classroom settings I am in now and have been in the past, I feel that my ability to acquire new knowledge has been disrupted by individuals who are not seeking the same academic achievements that I am seeking. That being said, I want to succeed, and I believe

A key benefit of virtual learning is the potential to reduce the gaps in achievement that are created within the rural, urban and suburban students. Often, the best teachers tend to gravitate to the schools with the bigger budgets and greater opportunities. Since many urban and rural schools have difficulty offering the same academic options or as high of quality instruction as suburban schools, virtual classes could potentially reduce the gap that is created just through geography. Online learning can allow access to excellent teachers and academic offerings instead of tying it simply to where a student resides which often puts certain students at a disadvantage.
