Welcome to the world of Jenks Public Schools (JPS), a world where high achievement, an outstanding athletics program, and multitudinous opportunities for involvement in extracurricular activities abound! It is a world in which high test scores and national awards are the norm rather than the exception, and yet never taken for granted. An important goal of Jenks Public Schools is to identify and provide appropriate educational experiences for those students who give evidence of high performance capability in the area of intelligence or in high school academics and who require differentiated learning opportunities or experiences, provided by the school, that develop such capabilities. There are thirty-five private/nonprofit schools in the Tulsa area. There are three private schools within the JPS attendance area. Over the past three years there has been an average of 177 open transfer requests from families in other school districts to enroll in JPS. Conversely, during the past two years there has been an average of 30 open transfer requests from JPS families to enroll in other districts. This is a testimony to the high expectations for teaching and learning in the District. Because of the desire on the part of parents to enroll their students in JPS, homes sell for premium prices within the District’s boundaries. Base on housing starts and the average cost of homes. The net gain of the total district enrollment has increased by 823 students over the past 10 years, from 8448 students in 1994 to 9271 students in 2004. Jenks Public Schools is a leader in the implementation of technology tools and the integration of technology in the curriculum. Specific standards and objectives communicate the expectations…

The article I read is about the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The topic of the article deals with having students get an earlier start in the school year, and ending early. This would affect all levels of students; like elementary, middle, and high school aged. The main purpose of changing the entrance and exit of a school year is, because schools want better test scores.…
Phoenix Indian School was a branch of Indian Affairs that was managed in the school near Encanto Village, which is in the center of Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix Indian School was founded in 1891 and was known as United States Industrial School of Phoenix. The school gave chances for Indians to be apart of the American culture and was home to thousands of Indians from all around the United states. The schools was also one of the Bureau of Indian Affairs second biggest off reservation school for Native American meaning that lots of Indians were brought to Arizona for schooling but many of them were from the reservations already here in Arizona. Although the school was to help Indians adapt to American society, the way they were taught was by…
It is important for teachers to know what the community, school, and statistics are before deciding to apply at a school. Knowing these facts, can help teachers decide whether or not the school is the best place for them to work at knowing their abilities. A teacher can use these facts to help benefit them in the interview and in the classroom. Creating a game plan to attack the educational areas in need will help make the teaching experience easier. Let’s say the teacher is applying to Hillcrest Elementary School part of the Revere School District. Exploring the community around Revere is also essential in understanding what the populations of people who go to Revere are. A teacher will need to research…

The tank tops worn by students at Upper Perkiomen High School should not completely eliminated without spoken reasoning. Listed as the seventh rule in the student handbook, it is stated, “Tank tops, tube tops, halter tops, muscle shirts, and garments with spaghetti straps are not permitted in school” (52). This rule states that students may not wear any top that does not cover their shoulders. My thought process, and many other students, believe this rule is absurd and has no true meaning. Students have never been clarified on why this rule is in place, although we are expected to follow it. Is it because the administrators think possible bra straps are provocative? Is it just plainly because they think shoulders are distracting? Students…
Schools are all built according to what the thinking was at the time of it being built. Some schools were built with open plan classrooms. This may cause problems with noise. If it is possible sliding doors should be installed and used to patrician the classroom off. If this isn 't possible different areas of the classroom can be used for different activities. For example when using the interactive white board the pupils could gather round it on the floor. When explaining a lesson pupils could sit round the teacher then go to their desks and do the work. Some schools…
The children had their hair cut off, they were given different clothing, and also given new names. At the schools the Teaching focused mostly on practical day to day learning skills. Girls were primarily taught to do laundry, cook, sew and clean. Meanwhile the boys were taught farming, carpentry and tinsmithing. Many students did work for the school although they went unpaid, girls did housekeeping and the boys did general maintenance.…
From grades 1 – 8 students have a main lesson teacher for the entire first 8 years of elementary school. As well there are no textbooks used in grade 1 to 5 and they are given lesson books which they fill in and produce their own textbooks recording all they have learned that year. Grades are not given in elementary school but the children have evaluations at the end of the year. There is no use of computers or other electronic media in the elementary years and the Waldorf school strongly discourages television .…
The one room school house of the past required one teacher to meet the needs of many, usually in isolation, with limited resources and inferior materials. The legacy of the one room school house is deeply steeped into the modern education system, the effects of which make teaching difficult, especially for the novice teacher. Most teachers enter the education field with positive attitudes and lofty goals. They believe they can make a difference in the lives of their students. Difficulties in the classroom often overshadow their enthusiasm. Beginning teachers often leave the field of education due to frustration, disillusionment and negative experiences in the classroom. Three aspects of the legacy of the one room school house which are particularly difficult for new teachers are inadequate induction programs, inequity in the work place, and isolation in the classroom.…
The infant room was on a schedule, but the babies are tiny and all on their own schedules at home, so it was difficult for the teachers to get all of the children doing the same thing at the same time. For instance, when it was time for lunch, some babies had just fallen asleep. The schedule was fairly…
