Dr. Charles P. De Fuccio School: A Case Study
Recently, staff and student’s of Dr. Charles P De Fuccio School, Ps. 39, suffered the loss of their dear 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Henderson. Due to my close acquaintance with this particular teacher, I too was personally affected by her passing. As with any death, it is difficult to process and proceed with life as it was. However, this tragedy didn't affect any of the services McGowan provides. One reason for services remaining unaffected attributes to McGowen’s pre-planning. Subsequently, pre-planning for such events aids in decreasing complications that would normally arise where there isn’t a plan in place. McGowan states that she frequently attends various training and workshops for subjects like bullying, school-based tragedies, and

    Case Study: Agnes Macphail Public School

    North of the intersection, Brimley and McNicoll, resides a school called Agnes Macphail Public School. The school is named after Agnes Campbell Macphail, a Canadian politician who served as the first female Member of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons. The school, founded in 1981, stood for many of the same things that Macphail did, including her commitment to greatness. Macphail, the MP, made ripples in equality and Canadian politics with her penal reforms , while Macphail the PS is one of several Toronto Gold Eco Schools and strives to give students access to educational technology and a plethora of extracurricular activities.

    Maryland State Normal School Case Study

    Towson University was once known as the Maryland State Normal School for the instruction of teachers in 1864. Two years after being created in 1864 the school opened its doors with McFadden Alexander Newell being its president. Newell had goals to establish model schools for teachers to practice their skills and see first-hand how what they have learned worked on elementary students. Unfortunately, these practice schools were often across town because of space limitations.…

    Review of "Ordinary Resurrections" by Jonathan Kozol

    Review of "Ordinary Resurrections" by Jonathan Kozol

    In his book, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, Jonathan Kozol pulls back the veil and provides readers with a glimpse of the harsh conditions and unrelenting hope that exists in a community located in the South Bronx called Mott Haven. Mr. Kozol provides his own socially conscious and very informative view of the issues facing the children and educators in this poverty ravaged neighborhood. Just his commentary would paint a very bleak picture of the future. It is the words of the children that give this book optimism and meaning. The courage and care exhibited by the volunteers of St. Ann's after school program and the creativity of the teachers at P.S. 30 are utterly inspiring. They work long hours and go beyond the call of duty to protect the innocence and cultivate the hope that resides in the hearts of Mott Haven's youngest residents.…

    The Case Study of Soren

    The first phase of the crisis intervention plan is to inform as many people of the issue as quickly as possible. To quickly reach as many people as possible, the crisis team sent out an email to inform parents as immediately after the accident occurred. It would be best if the children are not blind-sided by the information at school on Monday morning. I expect several of the students and faculty members to go through the 5 classic stages of grief identified by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (1969), which are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Sometimes this can be a slow process, so I think some students and teachers will require on-going help to process this tragic loss of life. My plan involves the following crisis intervention steps:…

    Professor Dacus believes that it takes a village to raise a child and everyone from the cafeteria worker to the custodian plays a role in the molding of characters. All parties are obligated to insure a safe and nurturing environment that is beneficial to learning from the moment they enter the building until they exit at the end of the day. The parent’s role is vital as well because they prepare them for their journey with us. The characteristics that she wants to impart on her students are dedication, commitment, compassion, empathy, adventure, and…

    Doomsday Preppers

    Most people don’t wonder “What will I do if the world as we know it today just disappears?”, but for others, it’s was they do everyday of their lives. On the show Doomsday Preppers, these so-called “preppers” are getting ready for something that most people think will never happen. That something is the the end of the world. On this show, the preppers are teaching their families what to do incase that happens. The families are being taught various things that this essay will explain. Some of the lessons are completely agreeable, while others are a bit out there. Some reasonable lessons why children need to be taught are how to react and stay calm when natural disasters occur; while lessons that are taught on the show Doomsday Preppers like teaching a young child how to shoot a gun and be prepared for a post-apocalyptic zombie attack is quite unreasonable.…

    letter to admin

    We are writing to you to advocate for the continuance of Miss. Degenhardt’s (Profe) teaching career at Darien High School. We write with the purpose to make you aware of Profe’s profound impact on the community and the growth of her students both in the context of academics and ethics; her notable qualities and dedication to her profession are of a role model. While Profe’s style of teaching is unorthodox at some points, this unorthodoxy provides students with a diverse and meaningful education in an otherwise, orthodox day. A quality that is central to Profe’s teaching and persona is her receptiveness to student opinion, which in our opinion should be a constant in all student-teacher relationships. For example, if a student feels that a decision in terms of either a grade or punishment she made was unjust, Profe is fully open to a one-on-one discussion, either during a mutual free or before or after school. Profe’s actions reject the notion of “my way or the highway” and epitomize the characteristic of open-mindedness: a quality that is crucial in our increasingly globally connected society. For a personal anecdote, during a student’s sophomore year he felt that he did not deserve grade X; therefore, he approached Profe and asked to meet with her before school. The student and Profe discussed the grade and while the grade remained unchanged, he had a better understanding as to why he received grade X and how he can avoid receiving grade X in the future. In another, unrelated circumstance, Profe organizes an annual in-class food drive to afford families in the Bronx a decent Thanksgiving meal, which reveals her altruism and devotion to paying it forward. Moments such as these are what define Profe’s impact and overall career to DHS and academia. As a community, we are here to support a teacher who has supported us. Thank you in advance for your time.…

    Momentum Learning Narrative

    Two summers ago I had two of my former high school students commit suicide within a span of six months. Being a teacher at one of Momentum Learning’s community schools, I transferred one student back to traditional school and graduated the other and yet I am still haunted with thoughts wondering if I had done enough. Those tragedies impacted my professional ambition along with my personal identity. I began to think of the influence I could have had if I could have taught them with more resources and confidence and if I reached them sooner instead of feeling like their last resort. Therefore, I transferred to my current position at Monarch School as a third grade teacher. Monarch School is located in downtown San Diego under the auspices…

    Four days before our big night, a tragedy had stunned the nation. Two senior boys at Columbine High School in Colorado had embarked on a shooting spree in their school. The boys had killed 13 students and a teacher, as well as injuring more than 20 of their school mates before turning the guns on themselves. There had been some talk about it at school during the days leading up to our dance, but it seemed worlds away at the time. The preparations for the dance continued as scheduled and classes went on as usual while the television and radio continuously covered the tragedy in Colorado.…

    A Residential School Legacy

    From the late 1800s to the 1980s, more than 100,000 First Nations children in Canada attended residential schools (Llewellyn, 2008, p. 258).2 To attend these schools, children were taken away from their families and communities. At the schools, the children suffered from emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual abuse (Steckley & Cummins, 2001, p. 191). The worst abuses were often used as punishment for speaking their indigenous languages (Petten, 2007, p. 22). The imposition of residential schools on First Nations children has led to significant loss of indigenous languages, and this language loss has led to further cultural losses for traditional First Nations cultures in Canada.…

    Argumentative Essay On School Shooting

    In a time of need, friends and family play an important role in both the physical and mental stages of recovering from one of these heartbreaking misfortunes. Eventually, students and teachers must resume where they left off. This is most likely the hardest part of the recovery process. Equally important, schools should take more thorough precaution to prevent said acts from occurring. Of all places, students should not have to feel afraid in a school. Schools are one of the few places in which are dedicated towards bettering ourselves, and that right should not be stripped from us due to a few monstrous individuals with the desire for heinous crimes. In spite of this, people learn how to move on, sometimes without a loved one and with mournful memories of the awful…

    The Sanctuary Of School Lynda Barry Analysis

    In Lynda Barry’s narrative essay,“The Sanctuary of School,” Barry describes how schools have become a refuge for neglected children across the country, as well as how the ongoing budget, and extracurricular cuts are destroying their refuge. Barry grew up in a neglectful household, which she stated, “The high levels of frustration, depression, and anger in my house made my brother and me invisible,”(pg 1). Being a young child at that time, Barry could only rely on receiving attention at school, since she was nonexistent in her own household. One early morning, Barry arrived at her school before sunrise and was able to assist her school’s janitor. As she continued to aid the janitor, she was…

    Pre K Classroom Observation

    I observed Mr. Dave’s pre-k class at Montclair pre-school. I arrived at the classroom at 8:00 am to accessed the classroom as well to speak to Mr. Dave. We reviewed the day’s plan as I helped him clean up. While cleaning around the room I noticed how colorful the room was. There were: banners of letters and numbers hanging on the wall, as well as a large alphabet carpet on the floor for the kids to sit on, toys to play with and books to read. As the children arrived, they removed their belongings and placed them in the cubbies. Afterwards, they grabbed their name tags and set their lunchboxes on the lunchbox table. I played with the kids until class started at 9:00…

    Unforgettable Miss Bessie Summary

    Carl T. Rowan begins by describing his former high school teacher, Miss Bessie, and how her teachings had a deeper meaning than just the subjects she taught in class. Carl shares a memory of when he, like many most kids his age, wanted to be accepted by people which meant lowering his educational standards. From the help of Miss Bessie, Carl became valedictorian, got into first string of football, and still had respect from his friends. Although Carl came from a background of poor wealth, Miss Bessie taught him that money should not limit in what he can achieve. She taught Carl to never be bothered by what he doesn’t have and to do the most he can with what he does have, his brain. Miss Bessie became a big impact to Carl’s life. Despite the fact that he may not have lived under a roof of the necessary support he needed, Miss Bessie was an important factor to his life because she gave him the push and motivation he needed to succeed the way he did. She was influential to many students and to Carl in particular. Even after the death of Miss Bessie, he still keeps her in a special place in his heart.…
