Wheaton Academy: Case Study

Introduce them to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit who can empower them to be life changers. There is so much potential in the youth that is being wasted because they aren’t taught how to adequately defend and share their faith. That is why I want to go a faith-based Christian college who are building up leaders. I want to become one of the leaders that drastically reduces this statistic. To become the great leader that I want to be, I am going to need to go to a great Christian college to further my education in the Christian faith. I want to learn how to more effectively build up other Christian leaders. The church is always one generation away from dying out. If there aren’t leaders who can strengthen the youth, the church is in big trouble. If the church is in trouble, the whole world

For my Field Experience I chose to observe at Krahn Elementary which is a part of Klein Independent School District. After my approval, I was assigned to four teachers and their classrooms. I observed at Krahn Elementary on six Tuesdays between 15 September 2015 and 27 October 2015, and more or less followed the schedule that was given to me by the Assistant Principal Ms. Shannon Strole. From 8:30 am to 9:15 am I observed Ms. Judy Burkes, who is a third grade Math and Science teacher. Her classroom is comprised of twenty students which range from average to below average learners and a student with ADHD and another with autism. For most part of my observation, M. Burkes had been working with her students on fractions and multiple digits addition and subtraction. From 9:15 am to 10:30 am I observed Ms. Lisa Parker who is a Math co-teacher and resource teacher at Krahn Elementary for grades K-5. During my assigned time, Ms. Parker usually joined Mr. Duru’s fifth grade class of twenty three students as a co-teacher and when required would pull out a group of six students after initial instructions from Mr. Duru and would teach them the concepts separately at a slower pace. This particular group of students with special needs was mostly seen to be focusing more and more on mathematical word problems. These students were students with Learning disabilities, behavioral issues and one of them was a student with ADHD. From 10:30 am to 11:15, I was with Ms. Janice Bluhms, who is a

God calls us to serve and to do everything with love (1 Peter 4:10, 1 Corinthians 16:14). As a Student Affairs (SA) professional, my main goal is to help students discover their calling and equip them to better serve the world while integrating their faith. Smith (2004), states why it is important to serve as a mentor during a critical adult faith development stage. In The Council for the Advancement of Standards and Higher Education (CAS), CAS has incorporated faith, spirituality and religion into the standards and competencies that they advocate for individuals working as educators in the student affairs field ( Smith, 2004). In the CAS masters-level graduate program for student affairs standards (2004) the authors spoke to the essential need to incorporate spirituality.

I have the answers to question # 2 and 3 for Collin College. Please see below and let me know if you have any questions or need any additional supporting documentation or information.

I volunteered at Chiefland Elementary School, under Ms. Sidorenko’s supervision. After doing my twenty hours of volunteering at Chiefland Elementary School, I have gained new knowledge on how religion works in schools. If you grew up in a small town area like I did, you would know that religion around here is not a touchy subject with many people. Many faculty administrators who work in the school system happen to be Baptists or Christians. Therefore, people are able to throw in religious assessments here and there without getting into too much trouble. In this case, at this school, everyone goes to the same church or partners with each other’s churches. Before I go on, let me just say, even though I am a Christian, I think that religion shouldn’t be a topic talked during school hours. My reasoning for this is because children are there to get an education and to learn about the world around them. Teachers barely have enough time to teach the concepts that are mandatory, if we add religion it will just offend students and teachers won’t be able to get their job done. Now that society is changing and is starting to accept individuals more, I have noticed this school is having a hard time accepting that.

Lord willing, these students then become Checking-Things-Out students, desiring and attentive to spiritual conversations and experiences. In these relationships, it is imperative to dig deeper, to answer questions, and to expose students to the gospel through lifestyle or stories of real faith. This open and attentive nature leads to the gospel message falling on good soil and, prayerfully, results in belief and commitment to Jesus Christ.

There are many possibilities as to why Robeson High School could be facing these low performing ratings. One possibility that many have looked into is the teachers that are educating at these schools. The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) school district educated about 381,349 students in the 2016-2017 school district, according to CPS’s website. However, they employ only about 36,254 staff, with only 20,973 teachers employed. This is about 19 students per teacher. Looking closer into Robeson High School, the total enrollment was 355 students, and the total full time teachers was 34. With Robeson High having about 10 students with every teacher, it seems that the academics and test scores should be much better than they are.

I attended the Centennial Christian School to visit one of the student, Ashley, who is diagnosed with cerebral palsy. It was interesting to see Ashley’s care plan that was written by Chris Robberts that outlines care of her stoma, flushing of water every hour at school via feeding tube, administering mediation via feeding, and what to do when the student has a ‘blank stare’ or grand mal seizure.

XYZ Charter Academy is an elementary school with a total of 450 students and service at risk students on the verge of failure as well as live in low poverty areas. Two- hundred eight five students have been identified as at risk students and 60 of them are in the early childhood program. Those students have been identified as being at least one to two grade levels behind with a reading comprehension level at kindergartern. These students also have high behavior issues and have been suspended several times. According to Cox (2009) students can learn according to their abilities and needs. This form of teaching is also great for the teacher because it gives him/her the time to work individually with students who may be struggling.

XYZ Charter academy’s mission is to see that no child is left behind and has the same opportunity no matter income bracket(Dr.Harris,2017). XYZ Charter Academy is seeking a technology grant to provide early childhood students with access to their own students at school. This will increase student engagement and teacher student connection. An overview is that student academic performance will increase using technology. There are always two sides to every story. There is some good of using technology in the classroom as well as negative reasons. Our organization has looked into all the objectives and realizes that the students may not always do what they are supposed to do with accessing other websites.

Students worry about making friends, making good grades, or winning games in their chosen sport. Parents worry about how they can help their children succeed. Teachers worry about meeting the needs of their students. As an administration, we spend a lot of time worrying as we work out the kinks of launching new programs such as the Leadership Academy Model. All of these fears are real, and I am sure that each of you have considered the implications of all of these changes at one point or another. Often times we let our fears of what the future holds keep us from moving forward and experiencing God’s power.
