My Utopian School
My utopian school would be the most effective school by far. Not only would the students achieve higher standards in education, but also in self-respect. The faculty and administration would work together as one. It would be a public school open to anyone who would like to attend such a school. There would be limited class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of twenty-five to one.
I would have the faculty and administrators working together to solve the different problems that may arise. With them working together not only does the administration have say in what goes on, but the faculty has an equal say themselves. The staff of the school would consist of several Guidance Counselors, Peer Mediators, and other support staff.
With this school being an Elementary School specializing in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, the students would be grouped with other children of their stature. Meaning they will be grouped with children of the same age and intelligence. There will also be limited class sizes, thus letting the teacher help any individual that may need some assistance.
The school will not be based on a single curriculum. The lessons will vary depending on the grade and academic level. In grades Kindergarten and First, the teaching method would consist mainly of teacher directed learning, and would also have a large amount of group learning. In grades Second through Fifth, there would be an equal amount of both student directed and teacher directed lessons. They will also have their fair share of group learning. The materials used in the school will be mainly hands on, because I think people learn better from sight and touch, than just listening to an hour-long lecture.
Discipline will also play a major role in my school. The first several weeks of school will be used to make sure the students fully understand these rules. This will ensure that there are no misunderstandings between the teachers, administrators, parents, and most importantly the students.
Even though these schools are all different, they have some similarities such as the teachers. All of the teachers that we meet are encouraging the students anyway they can, in addition they are always striving to get the kids to believe in themselves and pushing them towards
The school itself house grades K to Sixth and is part of Region 4 and feeds into the nearby the
...les to maintain discipline and order in the school. Following these rules can help students stay safe and focused all day.
Dealing with discipline at the middle school level is a top priority for an administrator therefore, I have learned that it is important that I understand the process when working with students. All students have due process,

The Effective Schools Model provides the grassroots approach that is necessary for urban schools. As I have stated, the urban arena within which the schools must perform is very diverse. As a result of the size and magnitude of this type of arena, most students associate themselves with a school as opposed to a district. Localizing the reform efforts and focusing on a holistic approach will establish a culture of caring and stability within which students can feel safe, accepted and capable of achieving academic
A new type of school, called the open-air school, was a great step towards the schools of today. They allowed even more natural light, and great ventilation, As well as focusing on outdoor learning. They often put emphasis on physical health, which they believed would help with things like mental well-being. They were very functionalist. They focused on a more child-centered design, which would allow students to adapt quicker than they usually would. Open-air schools were also quite eco-friendly, for obvious reasons. These open-air schools were a very big step in the right direction.
A flurry of solutions has been suggested, ranging from school uniforms to government grants. Unfortunately, many of these solutions are merely superficial. Uniforms, Internet access, and new buildings will do little to help overcrowded classrooms, overworked teachers, and disinterested students. The most obvious answer seems to lie in government grants to remedy buildings and supplies and standardized testing to confirm the quality of every education.
There is no doubt about it, there will never be a perfect school. Kids now go out into the world without the skills they need to survive. This is a serious problem schools have created for America. It’s up to them to make a difference and save the country from an economic downturn. High school graduates everywhere are being thrown out into the world like a bird being kicked out of the nest for the first time. If these young adults aren’t for the adventure of life, the worst could happen not only to them, but
There wouldn’t actually have to be any specific groupings within the class, because every class would only consist of children that are all at the same level, so there would be no seperation, and the kids would not feel bad about being slower, and being separated from the “smart kids.” I would do my very best to make absolutely sure that the entire facility would be one-hundred percent clean, I think that a clean school would make it easier for students to learn, instead of trying to learn in filth. I would try to raise money with events and fundraisers to keep the school clean and a positive learning environment. As far as materials and equipment go, I would use the best materials and the highest grade equipment so that my students could use them to get the best education possible. I believe that all of these attributes would make the perfect school, every single student would be able to get a proper amount of attention and they would be able to use modern technology and have people that actually care about the students and their education, and what they are going to do with their future.
If I could build a school, it would look similar to SHS and most likely have a similar layout. The way of the school would be different though, I would definitely change the lunchroom in the fact that the way to get your school lunch would be different and the lunchroom would be bigger and more open. The biggest thing I would change is that I would include more reading in classrooms and more library usage. Outside of being forced to go to the library, I rarely saw students in the library reading. I would increase student interest and have more times available to visit it. At the high school, there is much more reading allowed and more frequent usage of the library. I would also have silent reading in the classes so kids could read even more. Besides that, I would make minor changes because I love Smithville and the whole school
In the 21st century, teachers experience many behavioral issues with students in the classroom and face challenges that are very difficult to resolve. School districts have different expectations about how students must behave during school and teachers have their own expectations about how students must behave in their classroom. Every educator has different classroom expectations and students must follow specific standards; therefore, the responsibility of the teacher is to discuss the standards with all students and make sure those expectations are clear. According to Jones and Jones (2016), teachers whose students made greater achievement gains were observed establishing rules and procedures, and carefully monitoring student’s work. In
In this paper I am going to present an theoretical school district, school, and a classroom as examples of the ideal that our educational system should strive to achieve. The philosophy my schools will be based on is one of equality. Every single child will have an opportunity to receive the best possible education. However, we will never lower our standards for the sake of equality. Each child will be pushed to his or her personal best, not an average standard.
“Classroom management deals with how things are done. Discipline deals with how people behave.” (Marshall, 2011) The most important thing about classroom management is control. A teacher must have control to be successful. When a teacher losses control, students become bored, disinterested, and restless, which often causes behavior problems. Avoid misbehavior by setting classroom rules early in the year. These guidelines allow students to know the expectations the teacher has for them and the consequences of not following the rules. Never continue instruction when rules are broken, this cause total loss of control, which leads to behavior problems.
Discipline plays a key part in education. Respect from your students will make the classroom a better atmosphere. Rules should be established on the first day. Rules should be a thoughtful process so they can be carried out to be affective, but logical consequences. We do not want the students self esteem to be damaged.
