With a recent HIV breakout in southern Indiana I decided to sign up for Indiana’s Public Health…

A mural is a large piece of artwork painted on a wall, perpetual surface, or celling. The word mural actually comes from the Latin word “murus,” which means wall. Murals date back to about 30,000 years ago and have continued to thrive and evolve in all cultures. There is so much beauty behind every artist’s mural and having their work displayed for the public to see everyday makes each individual piece so much more intriguing. Angie Kordic, journalist for Widewalls online magazine, states that…

Picture this a classroom where students need to draw or paint on the back of used paper, where students had to melt used crayons to make new ones. Where teachers have to use their personal bank account to get art supplies. Though school districts cut the arts for financial stability, these school boards should better support art educators to find outside income and create school-sponsored fundraisers. The 21st century in America for art education came to resolving long conflicts with introducing…

opinions and concerns. Administrators are eager to receive and are very receptive to new ideas (4.5). Teachers feel that their ideas are valued, listened to, and used (4.3). Pecan Hill School District puts their teachers first. As the elementary administrator, this was my first year in Pecan Hill School District. The morale was low and teachers had little trust or confidence in themselves or the administration. Throughout the year it has been my goal to build morale and reaffirm…

As Levenson, Baehr, Smith & Sullivan (2014) pointed out, too often principals and district leaders decide programming changes based on emotions or feelings rather than data. Difficult decisions are sometimes made based on the popularity of a program or how well liked a system may be. They suggested that schools and districts have opportunities to realign resources and reallocate funds to support their comprehensive plans. Levenson et al. suggested that…

Taizong, son of Li Yuan at 7th century launched a program of internal renewal and external expansion that would make it one of the greatest Chinese dynasties. Korea accepted tribute status and attempted to adopt Chinese model, and the Japanese official missions to China to learn more about its customs and institutions (Duiker 2013). The influence of Buddhism affected art, literature, philosophy, religion, and politics. With a population of 2 million, it was considered the greatest city of the…

accomplish their mission as an organization. A well-organized school system will have a clear policy, such as a communication plan, in place to carry out its vision throughout a school and community (Moore, 2012). Schools that are involved in the community overall, will ensure each department, like English, arts, language, mathematics and physical education will have its own set of policies and directives that complement the written communication policy of the school district. In or modern…

(Kolins & Stackpole, 2010). Now, collectively, community colleges in Michigan educate approximately 45 percent of all students enrolled in public higher education in the state and as of 2011, 73 percent of all residents live within a community college district (IPEDS NCES, 2016; Michigan Department of Energy, Labor, & Economic Growth, 2011). Though locally funded in the early 1900s, the state began contributing to community colleges by 1947 (Kolins & Stackpole, 2010, p. 70). Even though state…
