Case Study: Mary Morrison Elementary School
Brian is a six year old first grader at Mary Morrison Elementary School in Groton, CT. His current Fountas and Pinnell (F&P) reading level is a D, which is on grade level for entering first grade. He was retained last year and currently remains with his former teacher from the previous school year. The decision to retain was based upon low academic performance, as well as his age (December birthday). Targeted goals and areas of improvement this current year include: classroom routines, transitions, and social skills, such as developing appropriate relationships with his peers. Literacy goals include decoding and building phonemic awareness, such as isolating letter sounds. He currently has an IEP in place under the label of speech and language

    I appreciate the time that you took in emailing me to inform me you were my son Shay's principal. I left a voice message and sent an email to you on 5/16/2016, also I did try contacting again on 5/17/2016. Do to not being able to make contact with you yet I decided sending an email explaining the importance of needing to speak with you. Shay has been recommended for retention which I disagree with the recommendation. Therefore, speaking with I believe we will be able to find the best solution for this matter. Holding Shay back is not helping him but apunishment. Shay is entitled to a free appropriate public education, therefore if Shay is that far behind I would believe his IEP is not working and it's time to update and amend it.…

    In order to maximize combined interests and reach the Pareto Efficient Frontier, our strategy is to build trust by sharing information about our interests and priorities. In addition, sharing information can help create a positive relationship with the Board of Education and can increase the chances that they will reciprocate that behavior by giving away information about their interests and priorities. Given that many people are reluctant to share information with the other side, we also plan on asking the Board of Education many questions so that we can learn from what is not said as well as from what is said. Another strategy we will use to create value is to make multiple offers simultaneously because it helps to collect…

    Social media has played a major role in social interactions at Madera High School (MHS), but what remains constant, as it does on the national level, is that some students utilize social media to harass or bully others online. In a survey conducted by student researchers from Madera High, interesting results were yielded from the student body. Staff was intended to be left out of the survey because there was a strong focus on students and experiences that one could have faced from bullying or harassment. The survey questions contained quick yes or no questions, on a scale 1 through 10 with 1 being never versus 10 being all the time, and free responses. This even included every class to capture the most realistic results for evidence that bullying…

    School readiness has become an important concern for parents and teachers in early education. Parents are feeling pressure to make sure their children are prepared for school. Teachers are feeling pressure from their school district and parents to make sure children stay on track and succeed through out the year. The problem is there is too much going on in first grade too soon. First grade has developed into a grade that is too intense and complex for young children during their early years of education. Academic success, testing, reading and writing have all become the focus in first grade. Emotional and social development, playtime, art, music and other activities are diminishing in order to complete the high demand on specific academic learning. The pressure to read and write on young children can be difficult and lead to discouragement. Reading and writing are extremely important for children to learn at a young age but the pressure should not be as high. Some people believe early literacy programs are necessary during preschool and kindergarten in order for children to succeed in first grade. Literacy programs, tutors, and other plans to enhance children’s learning at such a young age are unnecessary and too extreme. In order for children to stay focused, enthusiastic, and committed in their later years of education, first grade needs to rewind and become less focused on the testing and evaluations. Children need to learn academically but also socially during first grade and the early years of education.…
