Any communication plan for a first year teacher will be as follow. To generate skills of communication with Pre-Kindergarten students on all the levels, one needs to involve the use of computer technology in and out of a classroom. The use of computer skills that are connected to the system will, to a great extent, allow a teacher and students to work together. They are able to do story-telling, learn how to write properly, learn words such as pronunciation or sounds, and math such as counting numbers. This is the best way to make students to be physically involved emotionally become active during learning. In the event when great work of sharing and learning is in reach, the interaction among students normally gives the students a desire to continuously learn. A school website would be created so that the parents would be able to communicate with the teachers through emails. This way, the parents will be able to stay in contact with the happenings at the school, such as knowing the progress of their kids. Teachers have been trying to learn better and new techniques so as to help students to effectively learn and also to easily partner with others at school. As a teacher, creating a school website would help in keeping the community

Meaning successful STEM K-12 education programs have specific qualities which lead towards success, including; a coherent set of standards and curriculum, teachers with high capacity to teach in their discipline, a supportive system of assessment and accountability, adequate instructional time, and equal access to high-quality STEM learning activities (Committee of Highly Successful Schools for Programs for K-12 STEM Education, 2011, p. 18-23). Agora Cyber Charter School is far from a STEM integrated school, but does possess high quality, committed teachers who regularly participate in professional development and professional learning communities (PLC), as well as, adequate instructional time through a block scheduling model. Agora needs to develop their curriculum to adequately and consistently teach the standards within STEM student-centered activities that proved students quality learning experiences.

I am an 8th grade student at Memphis Street Academy. I am sure that many people believe us scholars shouldn't care about what happens to the school when we move on, but that is not the case. Most of the students graduating this year have been going to Memphis Street Academy for at least two years and are now almost about to graduate.

The staff at West Buffalo Charter were all very warm and welcoming each and every time I came to tutor my student. Although, one suggestion I would like to make is to schedule a time where the student has academic work they need help on and is not being sent on computer to play games while the tutor is there to work with the individual.

The expression “separate but equal, ” is the philosophy in which was the foundation of racial segregation in the late 19th and 20th centuries and is commonly referred to the Brown v. Board of Education case. “Separate but equal” is the process of granting all citizens of the state the same rights and freedoms but finding ways around the law that would allow racial discrimination to be applied in all situations. However, “separate but equal” is not always a problematic circumstance, as the Africentric Alternative School located in Toronto Ontario is an institution that was developed in order to cease the trend of African descent students dropping out of school. This institution is not an issue of segregation of African children as all races and religions are allowed to

I am working my on starting my eagle project, and I have been instructed to make a mini write up proposal of my project to get it approved by adult leaders before I start on the official proposal. The project I would like to perform is to help out my school, MOT Charter High School, by building a special structure for a display case in the entrance of the building. The display case is around 20 feet long, 5 feet deep, and around 9-10 feet tall. The structure would consist of stackable latching wooden boxes that could be rearranged to change the display within the case.

Sequoyah Schools is a tribal school operated by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) School. There are a couple of traits that are unique to our school in relation to other tribal schools. The first unique trait is that the Cherokee Nation has oversight of the school. In other words, the funding received from the BIE is drafted to the Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee Nation allocates the funding to the school’s general budget, which includes class, club, and athletic activity accounts, instruction, technology, and other expenditures that are necessary for the operation of the school. These funds are called ISEP Funds, or Indian Student Equalization Program Funds (ISEP). In addition to this BIE funding, the Cherokee Nation also provides funding to support the operations of the school. The BIE provides funding based on enrollment. The BIE might be considered the 51st state because any Federal Allocations awarded to public schools are also awarded to the BIE to be dispersed to tribal schools.
