When the new superintendent demonstrated a collaborative leadership style by forming a Principal interview team that included both veteran and new teachers to choose the new principal, it well-received; therefore, as the new principal, following through with a similar collaborative style would likely be successful. In my perspective, the principal needs to develop a strategic plan that creates a shared vision and goals with a variety of stakeholders, provides professional development for the staff to achieve those goals, and reaches into the community to develop partnerships and positive relationships.…

    As I was searching for internships all over the country I was looking for a department that mission statements and values match up with what I have for myself. "Our mission is the reduction of the incidence of crime and the improvement of the quality of life in Arlington County by making it a place where all people can live safely and without fear." As I read over it more and more I realized your mission statement is different from many other departments. First being that your goals are realistic and very achievable, many departments goals are unrealistic like"end crime in this city". That would be great of course but not realistic.…

    According to the Lamar County School Student/Parent handbook,There are a number of factors are taken into account when computing a student's grade: homework, daily class work, neatness in preparation of work, promptness in completing work, projects, portfolios, and more. (41) Many classes focus particularly on the skills that require teacher observations (e.g. participation in cooperative group work) rather than grading paperwork. For this reason, attendance is also a factor to take into account when determining grades,because students need to be present in order to receive a grade for activities that require teacher observations such as group projects, whole class discussions, and more types of formative and summative assessments. Lamar County Public Schools have a 10 point grading scale and has four grade reporting periods for each school year. Students who are receiving a regular education, not special education, will have their school work assessed based on their grade level.…

    The road to learning for American children (K-12) is currently filled with potholes and obstacles which prevent students from learning to their full potential and from progressing from one grade level to the next based on knowledge acquired. Many children are promoted each year despite their lack of meeting grade level expectations. I speak for my friend who barely graduated from high school and is now lucky to have a menial job working for Walmart. I speak for my cousin who could have used more help in school and now has five children, possibly destined to live off the state. I speak for my neighbor, a little girl in the fifth grade and only reading at a third grade level while the school refuses to provide extra help because she is progressing.…

    Funding is at the root of all major decisions affecting public education today. With or without funding, every teacher is tasked with providing students with a quality education. Fortunately for Randolph County, leaders intentionally appropriate funds to provide students with a wide-selection of course offerings that will help propel them in the direction of their chosen career. Whether our students dream of being in the medical field, computer field, contributing to North Carolina’s agricultural history, being the next musician, artist, or even a teacher, we offer it all. Unfortunately, other schools in North Carolina and across the country are not equally equipped to offer the vast array of courses and opportunities.…
