The Washington County School District Essay

New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The borough that I reside in is Brooklyn. Brooklyn has approximately 2.592 million people inhabiting this district and approximately 23.4 percent of individuals who reside in Brooklyn, NY come from a low-income household or in other words come from poverty. With catholic and private schools being expensive, people have to rely on the education system to provide their children with a good education. In this paper I will be discussing the public school education system ranging solely up to high school in Brooklyn New York and giving a general idea of the New York education system as well.

Our professional development sessions are conducted weekly in a variety of subject areas, and the monthly school-wide session, using interactive reform activities, align with the Danielson Framework for Teaching (Danielson, 2013) to showcase best practices of teachers and to develop grade-level performance tasks, looking at students’ work to provide individual feedback that is aligned with the teaching rubric in order to show academic progress and growth in the target areas of ELA and Math.

In recent years, the Arizona education department has been under fire after the Arizona legislature passed a law banning Mexican-American studies in schools (Planas, 2015, p. 1). Not only have the schools in Arizona suffered from this discriminatory law, but also the advancement of Mexican-American students. This essay will briefly go over the Tucson Unified School District, the district in the midst of the controversy, and will mainly focus on Pueblo Magnet High School, one of the schools in the Tucson Unified School District that was greatly affected by the ethnic studies law.

For the public schools of Louisiana and across the United States I would propose the expansion of healthcare services provided by the school, an increase in after school and community programs, and the use of a comprehensive curriculum. I would also suggest a decreased emphasis on testing and test results as they apply to school accountability.

According to Wayne County Community College District Board of Trustees Policy Manual (2015) it states, “Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD) clearly acknowledges collective bargaining agreements and other Federal, State, and other legal documents which affect the operations, mission, and goals of the community” (p. n.d.). WCCCD downtown campus has offices for the Wayne County Community College Federation of Teachers (AFT) and Wayne County Community College Professional & Administrative Staff (PAS). The positive impact this has made on the governance at WCCCD, is during a district wide conference last year, the members of the WCCCD Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2000, and the Professional & Administrative Association, AFT Local 4467, rallied with students, parents and members of the community for a Solidarity Walk in Support of our Students (SOS), as they called on WCCCD to improve the educational state of affairs for the students (AFT Michigan, 2014, para. 1). This supports one of five of the Value Statements in the 2015- 2020 Strategic Plan, and it states “Being Accountable -We are accountable to the students who depend on us to provide them with a quality education, to the citizens who support us with their tax dollars, and to the businesses that depend on us to provide them with highly trained employees (Wayne County Community College Strategic Plan 2015-2020, 2015, p. 8).” Whereas, the Chancellor of the District and is responsible for implementing the

The Washoe County School District recognizes the importance of sustainability and how sustainability will allow for our stakeholders to have a successful future. As a district we believe in implementing sustainable values in each person that we come into contact with by leading lives that are reflective of creating a sustainable future. The WCSD defines sustainability as: creating an environment that promotes learning, civic engagement, and collaboration in ways that create mindful citizens that are aware of how the choices we make today impact our current conditions and have ripple effects that carry into our future.

Now on to the requirement for the Board of Ed Policy. First let’s focus on the 1st part of the policy that says that the material must, “enrich and support the curriculum”. From my understanding the curriculum is based on the three questions, what is the impact of the legacy of slavery on America?, How has/is justice implemented in America?, How does change happen in this government? The book doesn’t focus on the third question, so I’ll talk about the 1st and 2nd questions. While the book does talk a lot about the fight for Civil Rights, our class, (which may be different than some other classes), doesn’t go that into detail about lynching, except for the Murder of Emmett Till. The book does, however, show the impact of slavery on America

Brown Deer School District is located in the village of Brown Deer, five minutes north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The village population is about twelve thousand and the schools in the district roughly count about one hundred and twenty-five students per grade. The school district is smaller that district in the area but sustains a pretty diverse school. When I graduated my senior year, there was about fifty percent Black, forty percent White, and ten percent Asian and HIspanic. The problems at the schools were not necessarily racism but the “name” game. The name game is when popularity is determined by your last name and what your parents or siblings have done in the community. If your parents, or siblings, were a standout popular student or your parents are well known in the community, you were probably one of the popular people in your grade. The only way to overcome the name game is to make a name for yourself. You have to personally work harder than others to make yourself standout from other people. In regarding to the last name popularity in my case, I was the oldest child out of my family. My family moved into Brown Deer when I was one. So my parents were not as popular as other families in the community. To begin my time at Brown Deer, I had a speech problem where I was thinking to fast and could not form any words to speak. This speech impediment resulted in me starting schooling in special education. Eventually I was able to figure out how to speak well and was

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.

I believe that a community should want their city, or state, or whatever the case may be to succeed as one. There may be some cons on why we shouldn’t give up some of our freedom, or the right to do whatever we please just so our community can succeed. But I feel that the success of a community does depend on what people in the community decide to do. Three reason I feel this way are because if

The Suburban Public School District (SPS) is a relatively small district. The student population has a total of about 11,000 students divided between six elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools. Diversity is not a problem, since the community represents more than twenty-five countries around the world. However, the change readiness of all stakeholders will be tested due to the district administrators’ decision of transforming the foreign language curriculum. From four foreign languages, only English and Spanish will be instructed within a two-years period. This change has created the necessity of re-training or let go educators due to need of a reduction in force (RIF). Nevertheless, the SPS relies on a big and well-structured administrative team who successfully supports every school.

It is very important to get involved in local government. It gets people to actively participate in the community. One way to get involved is by going to the local School Board meeting. The School Board members are responsible for deciding things for the schools in their area. They are elected every four years and their meetings are open to the public.
