    Summary Of Toni Little's Face

    As prospective school social workers we will likely, at some point, assist students who are up against similar adversities as the AP students at Crenshaw high school. The optimistic side to that notion, just as Corwin (1997) documented, is “…the students who avoid the temptations…who, against all odds …manage to endure, to prevail, to succeed” (p. 2). A quintessential inner-city school that housed delinquent students who were transformed by a determined teacher, is not portrayed.…

The program allows mentors to visit mentees during the school hours for about one hour, once a week, for at least an entire year.

    Education Reform Case Study

    Introduction In the 1950s, the Washington D.C. public schools (DCPS) began heading in the direction of failure with some of the lowest performing students with in the nation. Michelle Rhee, a former Teach for America teacher and an education reform advocate, was hired as the Chancellor in 2007 by Mayor Adrian Fenty, who emphasized education. Rhee believed that the accountability and quality of the teachers was crucial to the effectiveness of the students’ education and implemented the IMPACT system. In this paper, by using Moore’s Strategic Management Triangle, I will evaluate Rhee’s performance and argue that there was potential for the success of the reform agenda, but the misalignment of Rhee’s and the public’s value of substance, the lack of legitimacy from the community of politics, the administrative and operational infeasibility of the IMPACT system of administration caused Rhee to fail to deliver public value needs in the education reform.…

    Case Study: Teach For America

    TEACH FOR AMERICA BACKGROUND Teach for America is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 by Wendy Kopp as part of her senior thesis project for Princeton University. Her idea was to recruit high-performing college graduates to teach in high-need schools with the goal of bringing more balance to the large inequities in education that existed within the American public school system (primarily the K – 8 grades). In exchange for two years of service, Teach for America (TFA) members would receive a paid entry-level teacher position within a TFA partner school and potential aid to pursue post-graduate education. In addition, they would gain immediate leadership experience within many entities: the TFA organization, the school they are teaching,…

Caldwell County, being 28th in the state of North Carolina out of 100 counties for the number of teenage pregnancies as reported by “2013 Teen Pregnancies” on the website Sexual Health Initiatives for Teens, must find ways to aide the students in the county that have the monstrous responsibility of being the parent to a child.
