Cesar Chavez Observation Report

Improved Essays
The observations I’ve made while doing my residency at Cesar Chavez Leadership Academy have been quite fascinating. Although, I’ve only been at Cesar Chavez for a few months, I was informed that 8 years ago this school was a failing school and the government toke over.

    Following a failed coup attempt by Hugo Chavez in 1992 against the dictatorship of Carlos Andres Perez, Venezuela has undergone through a complete political metamorphism which has essentially led to the government gaining control of the legislative, executive, and judiciary arms of the government. Chavez, who won the presidential elections in 1999 and subsequently in 2006, led a government that ensured the powers of the president were critically enhanced at the expense of the other arms of the government and the official institutions such as the legislature and the judiciary. Following Chaves’ presidential wins in 1999 and 2006, the executive’s powers were typically enhanced for 6 months and 18 months. The executive powers covered an array…

In addition, “students are more inherently interested in learning, and they experience higher perceived competence” (Gonzalez,-DeHass, Willems and Holbein, 2005, p. 117).
