    Today many school teachers as result of the political interventions prefer not to be at helm of the process of developing a school. This has been the case in the recent past since the general election. This has really caught up my attention so much that I have now given up listing to music on my way to school and have sought to listen to the daily news on the radio instead to find out on the educational plans, economic reforms and budget cuts of the coalition government.…

    When I first heard of Point Park’s honors program, it interested me greatly; not only did I see the program as an opportunity to challenge myself academically, but also as a way to give back to a community that supports me and my education. As I was reading through the pamphlet, I like how some of the program’s activities included volunteer work. As an active member of the National Honors Society, I believe that it’s very important to be involved in the community.…

    In conclusion, I persuade you, administrators, to establish a good relationship not only with the children and parents, but also with the community and workers. Leadership becomes more essential in order to cultivate a school culture whose primary focus is on the learning and achievement of each and every student. Each day we are afforded an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our students through our role as education…

    Anticipate these needs by speaking with parents directly. Action research indicates that if needs are anticipated through direct parent contact, instruments such as surveys, interviews, orientation, meetings and phone calls can all be used to conduct an effective needs assessment (School). In addition, plan “programs and activities early in the school year for parents and school staff to get acquainted in social situations, such as back-to-school barbeques…or other events where participants can step out of their roles as parents or teachers” (Wherry, 2009). Formal and informal communication strategies fundamentally enable Title I Parent Involvement Plans. By proactively seeking input from parents, schools are better able to understand and respond to the needs of their community. According to the Michigan Department of Education, a major factor of parental involvement in the education of their children is the parents’ perception that their school wants them to be involved”…

    I feel it is my number one responsibility to the parents that I give them the knowledge, skills, and support needed at home (Morrison, 2009) to help them understand how the school system works and why their participation in their children’s learning is so important. Before classes even begin, I can start mailing out letters to the parents (even though I use the word “parents” throughout this paper, this includes all caregivers, because I realize that some children live with one parent, foster parents, grandparents, or other family members) listing the school’s guidelines and programs. This way, they will know and feel a part of what the school and their children are doing. I could encourage them in the letter to explore different avenues of helping their children learn, like taking workshops or adult education classes (2009) that are offered through the school education system. I can share with them ways that they can help in the classroom or tell them about parent-teacher organizations (PTO), where parents can learn school agenda and share their educational viewpoints with other parents and school faculty. When parents bring their children to meet me as their new teacher during…

    One of the main problem I notice, while volunteering is that the kids can be uncomfortable with their peers at times when it comes to asking and answering questions. My group of students was able overcome that through a series of ice breakers and team building activities. Through the games and challenges the students begin to ignore how others viewed them but worked together to achieve a common goal. With my experience, I propose a youth challenge day where the community comes together and the youth are able to interact with others not just from their classrooms. Having young kids and young adults interact with new people will allow them to step out of their comfort zone and learn team building skills. With more interactions of our community we can collectively bring more positivity to Mira…
