Results of Analysis I will begin with the data analysis of the district benchmark test. This information tested basic recall and definition of different parts of the F.I.T.T. principle. While I can’t provide the exact test questions because it is a district standardized test. I can provide what the question was about and what percentage of students got the question right and wrong.

their current level as well as the district staffing formula that defines the student-to-teacher ratio in district schools. There was also a proposed new budget allocation to increase the district’s elementary counselor staffing by 2.0 FTE positions. The proposal originates from the district’s K-12 counseling program review. The budget proposal also included increasing the M & O to support an increase to employee compensation, and begin to replenish the district insurance fund. Dr. Kamerzell…

Gentrification, as an idea, seems good and philanthropic. The goal is beneficial for the community in most economical, political, and social aspects. Everybody wants to live in a safe, economically stable, and thriving neighborhood and to be able to provide that same lifestyle to others. However, the process of gentrification, and actually putting those ideas into practice, have been met with unfavorable protests, backlash, and seen some negative results. I vote No on Proposition 555 for a few…

Imagine a fourth-grade student that does not have a consistent home. The food the school provides at breakfast and lunch is the only ration of food they receive for the day. Snow days are agonizing not knowing if they will have food for that day and hoping to return to school only to eat. Students are beginning to notice that they wear the same two shirts and pants to school every day, and exclusion from groups of friends is evident. Teachers send the student habitually to the nurse to get…

Description: This quantitative study uses a least-squares regression model to determine the predictive power of socio-economic factors on district-level student achievement on new, Common Core-aligned standardized assessments. We posit that educators may use our methodology and model to control for socio-economic factors, and more equitably compare school district performance. Purpose We used a least-squares regression model to determine the predictive power of socio-economic status (SES) on…

supported by a school district that is led by a Superintendent and School board that has the vision and know how to give students what they need to succeed. This is shown in a High School that Works report entitled Improving Schools Requires District Vision, District and State Support, and Principal Leadership. In a report from the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), they oversaw a study of 35 superintendents and school board leaders. The study found in order for a school district…

Helen Keller once said, “the character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” Standardized test scores shouldn’t determine whether or not a school should exist. The problems may not rest in the school, but rather in the students. Teachers might not have the resources to teach students, personal problems might stop students from succeeding, or the school, in general, the…

The process of creating a congressional district map in Texas of how the people vote and where the most republicans and democrats are, as they draw the line that creates the separation, they start to see where they most likely will get the votes. A strength of gerrymandering in creating a congressional district map is that they don’t have a limit to where they can put their lines, this is an advantage because they have the freedom to create their map a little bigger when they know that they have…

from the case of Dina Holder, a teacher at Brentwood Union School District, who was accused of tearing a 5 year old student with Down syndrome from his chair and then proceeding to kicking him as he lay on the ground. She was charged and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor child abuse and was still able to hold her job at a different school until her removal was ordered. This seemly utter neglect for student safety occurs in all districts throughout California and is a direct result of the set…

Ann Duffy, Sad Joke on a Marae by Apirana Taylor, District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp and Barton Fink directed by Joel Coen. I expected all of my texts to be able to reflect one another as they were all from a similar time period. In particular, I expected District 9 and Sad Joke on a Marae to draw similar points as they are both texts that illustrate alienation towards indigenous people, with Sad Joke on a Marae being about Maori, and District 9 being about the treatment of blacks in South…
