Summary: Sankofe Based Orientation
I will play an active role in planning and supporting instruction that is aligned to our mission of college-readiness, and ensure that school time and resources are focused on students attainment & teacher impact. Knowing that we are a takeover, we know that we have major obstacles to overcome. At the same time, it is importatnt that teachers in grades 3-5 believe in the potential of their students. Therefore, It is critical that we have a Sankofe based orientation (look forward, but remebering where we came from). This orientation will require each and everyone of us to know academic and personal goals at all levels (school, classroom, students). At all times, our teachers will strive to have a growth-based mindset. In alignment to our

    Law 421 Week 2 Weekly Reflective Journal

    In conclusion, my goals for the upcoming week will be challenging. My students need the changes and accommodations. In literacy, my goal is to make writing fun for the students. It is sad that they view it as a chore. Encouragement is also important in literacy so that their confidence grows. I can see this when students read with me. In mathematics, my goal is to keep students on track. I plan to use some of the methods that I learned about in the Instructional Assistant Training from Thursday. My hope for next week is that the students’ passion for learning…

    The Ohio Community Collaboration Model

    Now more than ever, schools must recognize that they are not autonomous. Rather we are collaborative partners with families, business, churches, and community agencies on the collective mission to educate our children. It should be our goal, all of us in this room, to work together to help prepare the children of our community to meet the challenges they will face in their post-secondary employment, school, or military careers. We must help them be ready to tackle the issues that not only our community, but our nation, and our country are going to be facing in this next generation and beyond. The Ohio Community Collaboration Model has so aptly discovered that essentially, no longer may we, the school alone, be responsible for the academic…

    Eda 636 Week 1 Reflection

    As I reflect on EDA 636, Education, Politics, & Systems, the final course in the LEAP program I feel that we have without a doubt come full circle in our journey of becoming future educational leaders. In this course we get an overview of everything that affects education. Beginning with political, social, economic, legal and cultural influences. I have gained an important understanding of how as a leader is is very important to realize how many different lenses one must look through, how many different stakeholders are going to be impacted and how many different roles a leader must place. The amount of responsibility is enormous and being able to balance everything is imperative.…

    Educ10 Mission Statement

    I will display this mission statement on my locker door, next to my desk so I will have an easy access to it, especially during times when I may become frustrated and feel like giving up on a student who may be failing my class and do not seem to care. It will remind me that my purpose is to serve and motivate others to reach their full potential. As Lee Canter explained in the video ‘ The Power of belief ‘, a high performing teacher never gives up because “they believe that all children can succeed”(Laureate Education, 2010). It is this kind of teacher who can make a difference in the lives of the…

    The team will meet at least twice weekly and provide feedback on the progress via email to Ms. Velma Johnson. The objective for the team is to meet with their grade level teaching partners to bring their concerns to the meetings. Ultimately, these members will review and discuss which concerns are valid and relate to the new initiative. Personal feelings are set aside to achieve whatever is necessary to meet the needs of the students. As educators, one must remember the focus is on what will work best for the students’ success. There are times when stepping out of one’s comfort zone (the norm) is necessary.…

    Middle School Philosophies

    As the principal of James S. Russell Middle School, my philosophy is simple. I believe that if we invest in our students and expand upon their previous knowledge, we can explore uncharted territory. By “thinking outside of the box" and striving to teach the whole child, we are destined to intersect with success. My belief is that if I continue to successfully motivate the RMS student, faculty, and staff to do their very best and extend their personal limits, the success for our division will be exhibited…

    Developmentally Appropriate Practice Essay

    When starting a new school year a teacher has new students whom they have to get to know pretty well. Prior to this new year, the teacher should have all of their expectations and goals in order; this includes the state standards and school standards. This introduces the idea of Developmentally Appropriate Practices, where teachers want to make sure that the goals they choose are difficult for the students but are also reachable goals as well (2009). Teachers have a good understanding for the grade they are teaching, meaning they can predict what a group of students are capable of and what practices to try to get the most development from their students (2009). Though they are really good at making predictions there are other outside factors that teachers need to consider.…
