History. Each test is separate (pertaining to that subject only) and is taken by high school students (9th-12th grade) at the end of the course. Students take these assessments in order to receive a high school diploma. The assessments determine whether the student is ready to move on to college or begin a career. The assessment results make up 25 percent of the school’s grade, which determines how well the school is doing. The scores also reflect the teachers’ effectiveness. If a student does not do well, they are able to complete another 30 hours of coursework and retake the test in order to receive their …show more content…
This website taught me what a charter schools are all about. I never heard much about charter schools prior to moving to Louisiana. This website has showed me that charter schools have a lot of responsibility, though they are not as regulated as district schools. The fact that they are held accountable for their students’ success is what I agree with the most. This encourages teachers to perform at higher levels. The website has also shown that the keys to the charter schools’ success is autonomy, accountability, and choice. This website has ultimately taught me that there is more than one way to run a successful

    1. Thinking from a parent’s point of view, I do not think parents could look at the istation data and infer right away how to understand the data. Questions parents might ask would be how do determine my child ’s score if the increments are to large to determine what the score is, what am I looking at, why is there future years listed, how do if my child did well or not, and where does it say pass or fail? If I were a parent, I would bring up questions like these because the data is represented from an educator’s point of thought and leads into miss leading confusion for parents.…

    As Ms. Kaysen has her graduated high school and her previous educational history unknown, it is difficult to determine eligibility. It does not appear her disability impacted her education, as such a 504 plan may be more appropriate. Although Ms. Kaysen has completed high school, an educational assessment may provide information that could be useful in an evaluation for accommodations in a post secondary setting. If a disability category was required, a serious emotional disability (SED) is the most appropriate. Colorado Department of Education Qualification: 1.…

    I am personally very supportive of the idea that we shouldn’t open new charter schools until we improve the ones that we have. I don’t think opening more in Delaware, with the resources we have right now, is the way to drive better outcomes. In other contexts where there are more talented school leaders, more teacher waiting to get in and parents who are on waiting list miles long, is a…

    The charter school will locate in Alabama within the next couple of years to give the students and the parent’s a choice to choose where they want their child or children to attend to get a better education. The most common statistical fact about charter school is desegregation. The desegregation was continuing after the Supreme Court declared a law called the Brown vs. Board of education where black, whites, and Hispanics were separated but equal. The unanimous court wrote “that a quality education was crucial for all children and ruled that it was the state’s responsibility to ensure educational equality”.

    The most important aspects of choosing a school vary from many ranging options. Anybody can choose a school to attend, but what makes a "good" or "bad" high school? Though there are lots of things that make up a high school, I believe that curriculum is the most important aspect that defines a good high school. Developing a promising curriculum helps the teachers; students, faculty members, and community follow a certain structure for a quality program. The curriculum identifies where students are towards the end of the designated check point.…

    Marx saw the ideologies of the owners of production as the determining factor in curriculum development and also in the mores and norms of society. We go to school to learn the ideologies of the rich and continue to work for them after because we believe in receiving compensation for our education and skills. Marx posits, “that social classes receive an education which is geared to their positions in society” (Small, 2005, p. 79). He goes further to state “the phenomenon of mass education arose with the development of modern capitalism. It is evident that the public school is in some way a corollary of bourgeois society.…

    Report cards are a symbol of school life. If grades did not matter and there were no report cards who knows for certain how and what students would learn. Report card day can either be a day of dread or a day of high anticipation with little in between. It can be stressful enough for a student when their friends want to see their report card or ask how they did, but those grade cards have to go home. How a parent reacts to bad grades either will make a child want to hide out of fear of punishment and yelling, or run home for comfort and understanding.…

    Reporting student achievement is a current hotbed of controversy in education. From how to report it, when, how often, who to report it to, and the negative and positive aspects of reporting it. It is safe to say that proponents of both sides feel strong about their opinion. Lefkowits and Miller (2005) contend that “current forms of accountability that focuses on reporting test scores on individual content areas for groups of students at particular grade levels does not appear to have the same meaning and value for the public as they do for policymakers” (p.4). Furthermore, based on their research they concluded that although measuring and reporting student progress was important parents viewed it as only a starting point as to how well a school was meeting its objectives.…
