Activities:

A. Create a teacher survey focusing on the CSI department in terms of ethics, fairness and integrity.

Artifacts:

A. Summary and reflection of teacher survey results regarding the perceptions related to the CSI profiling of students.

Summary and Reflection:

This survey was given to all 4th & 5th grade teachers at Colonial Road School in an attempt to create a baseline to begin discussions regarding perceptions that teachers have regarding the CSI profiling of students, as well as whether or not our CSI program is operating in a fair and ethical manner. After numerous meetings with the CSI team, as well as the principal of Colonial Road School, there has been significant concerns expressed relating to the ways in which general education teachers view CSI students, the entrance criteria for the program, and the fairness involved with which students are accepted into CSI and which students are denied.

It is important to note the concerns of

When analyzing the survey responses from general education teachers, it becomes clear that all team members throughout the school recognize that parent refusal of support services is a serious contributing factor to our student learning problem (this is mentioned by all parties). In addition, all teachers listed effective ways for discerning which students need support that I would not categorize as profiling students in an unethical way. Teachers also didn’t seem to express that they believed the CSI entrance criteria or process was unfair at

    School Resource Officers (SROs) have become a common fixture in schools across America, with about 14,000 SROs working in schools around America in 2011. There has been increased attention given to violence in schools, giving many the perception (albeit mistaken) that juvenile violence has been on the rise, which in turn has increased public support to the implementation of SROs. High schools have had SROs for quite some time now, but notably more middle schools and elementary schools are currently requesting SROs (James & McCallion, 2013). The National Association of School Resource Officers state that SROs contribute to schools by ensuring a safe and secure campus, educating students on law-related topics, and mentoring students as informal…

    Homeschooling is a successful form of education, but unfortunately it is disvalued for its uncommon style of teachings. The unique learning experience produces a variety of viewpoints around the role of participation from the parents and the impact of success a student accomplishes being homeschooled. Home education faces the challenge of being credited for its academic success, instead it is stereotyped to be an inefficient form of education and a deprive to a child’s socialization. These perceptions leave the parents less motivated to investigate the credible facts of academic success in homeschooling, sending them in a default direction to public school their child. Despite the non-supporters, homeschooling seems to still be formulating…

    Introduction In today's society, 65 percent of public schools recorded that one or more violent incidents involving students had taken place, amounting to an estimated 757,000 incidents (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2017). In order to reduce crime, more police officers are being placed in schools. These school specific officers are called school resource officers, or SROs, who are employed by local police departments, sheriff's agency, or school systems where they typically work closely with school administrators to attempt to create a safer environment (US Department of Justice, 2016). Their main tasks are to be an educator on crime prevention, informal counselor, and law enforcer (Thomas, B., Towvim, L., Rosiak, J., & Anderson,…

    Nine hundred and sixty five civilians were shot and killed by police officers in the United States in 2015 (Kindy). Due to the amount of people killed by police as well as the over representation of black males in that number, many instances of police brutality and excessive force have become racially charged public issues through social media. This has caused distrust to grow substantially over the last few years between the police and the people they are supposed to protect. One proposed solution to the growing number of police brutality cases as well as the growing distrust towards the police is body cameras worn by police. All police officers should be required to use body cameras despite privacy concerns because footage from body cameras…

    Within the education system, there are many reasons why standardized testing is flawed. While many government officials believe that standardized testing has more advantages than disadvantages, parents, teachers and students are facing oppressed teaching, a bleak education, narcissism, and a lack of respect for teaching. “We don’t need more data that continue to compare students to each other. We don’t need more standardized test data to keep telling the kids in the 95th percentile how superior they are and the kids who score below average that they still need improvement”(Nieto 58 “Still Teaching in Spite of It All”). Nieto tells about how not only students, but teachers and parents are affected by high-stakes standardized testing.…

    Disparities In Schools

    INTRODUCTION Race relations in America has always been exceptionally antagonistic, as compared to other nations (Myrdal, 1944). The disproportional number of minorities, especially Blacks, being involved in the criminal justice system, has often been highlighted to indicate the level of racial tension in the country. In the 1970s, however, findings regarding the disproportional distribution of school punishment among Black students (see Child Defense Fund, 1975), pointed out to the fact that racial disparities and tensions are not restricted to the criminal justice system alone, rather schools too are influenced by them. Since the report in 1975, a number of researchers have attempted to study the link between race and school punishments…

    Zero Tolerance Laws

    Security presence can help forestall school violence in the U.S., along with visual and sound-related radio frameworks to keep undesirable guests from entering, in addition to a zero-resilience arrangement for weapons for all students and school faculty. Due to schools lacking in proper preventive means, troublesome events have occurred which leads, to the belief that schools are no longer as secure of an environment as they once were; to reverse this, schools must enforce more severe protective means. Due to an outbreak in suburban school violence in the 1990s, zero tolerance laws remain in effect on many campuses. According to the findings on gun control policies in schools by author and activist, Dr. Finley, it is a fact that "the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act required…
