Superintendents with fewer than 21 years of experience stayed on average for 2.86 years, and a superintendent with over 36.15 years of experience stayed in the same district on average for 2.91 years. These results are understandable as older superintendents are closer to retirement and hence leave the field, while younger superintendents may not have the luxury of picking their first-choice district due to their lack of experience. Superintendents with experience range between 28.51 and 36.15 stayed in the same district the longest, with 4.19
The Prom Night in Mississippi was an extraordinary documentary, which encompassed the racial and discriminative views and actions from a small community and school district from the early 2000s. While watching the video multiple emotions and thoughts rushed through my head, however what stuck out to me the most was how recent this document took place, and how severe certain individuals where to possessing certain racial qualities. From only nine years ago students where still experiencing racial discrimination, in which individuals fought so hard for to be solemnly free in the United States. In fact to have an interracial school district that thought it was “okay” or politically right to have a segregated prom in 2008 blows my mind. Especially when the school district had superior faculty members who were interracial to multiple sport teams.

Get the budget to stay above the required amount. He will do anything to keep it where it is at. Change public documents, lie, and even change sides when the other side is winning. To be perfectly honest, he is the prime example of a political scumbag. Phillip's neighbor, Ted, who is running for superintendent, does not stay with the story at all.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) was introduced into England and Wales to try and provide a standard framework for childrenâ€TMs care, learning and development. It followed on from the government report Every Child Matters (ECM) which described how all children should achieve outcomes; • Staying safe • Being healthy • Enjoying and achieving • Making a positive contribution • Achieving economic well-being The government provides funding for every child aged 3 and 4 to receive 15 hours a week Early Years education (38 weeks a year). This follows the EYFS and it enables children from all social backgrounds to have the same opportunity to receive education and therefore more easily achieve the outcomes above.
The governing board conducted the second reading of the CFSD policy related to the superintendent’s job description. During the first reading of this policy on August 11, the board recommended updating some of the language, the board discussed additional revisions during the second reading, this policy will be brought back for board approval at the next board meeting.
The text states, “The superintendent did have enormous power of initiative in virtually all matters concerning the schools: the appointment of staff, the selection of textbooks, plans and contracts for buildings, the determination of the curriculum, and normal decisions about everyday running of the schools” (159). When examining the formal education of our current educational institutions, it is evident that the power structure lies with superintendents, school boards and principals who share expectations on how classrooms should be run as well as decision making for the betterment of the institution and students. Overall, formal education has evolved and will continue to evolve as educators search for their perception of the “one best system” for their students. Throughout the history of education, power structure and social class matters have influenced how educators implement regulations, interact with community members and fellow educators, but most importantly, the education of students so that they may be instilled with the skills and confidence to further themselves as
Conditions in British Columbia today are changing at a significant rate and speed.

Live and Learn In the article “A Homemade Education” by Malcolm X is about Malcolm not knowing how to write properly, he was frustrated about not being able to convey himself in his letters that he wrote especially to Mr. Elijah Mohammed. He didn't go past the eighth grade in school, so the only writing he knew was slang. Malcolm was in prison so he began to teach himself by requesting a dictionary along with some paper and pencils from Norfolk Prison Colony school to learn the meaning of words but most importantly to express himself.
One curriculum method that was presented through Moodle was the emergent curriculum. In Moodle, this curriculum is defined as “what the child brings to the activity”. For example, if you are talking about farm animals and a child mentions that they have farm animals in their home, then you can have them bring pictures of their farm animals to share with the class. One good thing or pro about this curriculum is that the children have a say in what they will learn about in class. This can make the lessons more appealing to the children and also interest them more.
Education in poverty-stricken areas is a luxury that many people do not receive and has always been a fight from the beginning of Mississippi’s historical roots. The battle for adequate education began over the issue of segregation and continues to hinder teens’ ability to learn. One of the reasons that education is unsatisfactory in many parts of Mississippi is because education and poverty are interrelated. Poverty has a negative impact on the student’s achievements and academic success and puts them at disadvantages for their futures. Although Mississippi is notorious for its major issues, the correlation of poverty and education have persisted as some of the most pressing issues that require immediate attention.
