Thesis: Out of the three largest international schools in Prague, the Riverside School is the most appropriate choice for international parents, based on the careful evaluation of major points including price, accreditation and outside of school involvement. I. Introduction: What are the best possibilities for international parents to provide education for their children in Prague? II. Czech public schools are not a good choice for international children. A. These schools are not built to educate children coming from outside of the country who do not speak Czech. B. International children are likely to feel more accepted thanks to other children also being foreigners in the country. III. The Riverside School in Prague is the most appropriate school for international parents. A. The Independent School Inspectorate reports, that the “social and cultural development of Riverside students is excellent. B. The cost for the Riverside junior high school is high - 360,000 Czech Crowns, but it is well compensated by the school’s exceptional quality, which is accredited. C. The school provides an effective environment for studying, which leads to the highest examination results. D. The school provides students with the opportunity to enjoy activities such as sports, school life, and many others. IV.

For a lot of parents, this is great, since most of them want a good education for their children. Therefore, if they have the money to afford such expensive school they will not have second thoughts of registering their children. However, according to the author, the school is just making its students worse off. The reason the school is doing this because is not interest in the children’s future, “it is thinking of the parents of its students, who see things like golf courses and Steinway pianos and small classes as evidence that their
“When schools, parents, families, and communities work together to support learning, students tend to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and enroll in higher level programs.” (Van Roeckel, 2008, p. 1) Deer Valley High School in Glendale, AZ is the first high school built in the Deer Valley Unified Scholl District, and with a population around 1800 students, the high school is one of the bigger schools in the state. It has a tradition of family on its’ campus, where there are still teachers teaching that were there when the school opened in 1980. A number of former students have become new teachers on campus and just about all the teachers’ children have attended and graduated from the campus. With a school like ours, there are many connections to the community around it and it is demonstrated by the programs that bring in parent and community to help with the development of our students. There are numerous booster clubs run on our campus to help support student achievement on the sports fields, a school to work programs to teach the students necessary skills in different areas of either nursing, sports medicine classes, and in the culinary arts classrooms, and funding to our school to help ensure all students graduate on time. There are many programs on our campus, but I will discuss four of the programs: baseball booster club, C2G program, “school-to-work”, and the special education program sponsored by Arrowhead Hospital. These programs are designed to improve the relationships between the campus and the people in the community, and give all students on campus every opportunity to succeed in their future.
My three year plan is called the Strive for Excellence plan. For the first two year I will be focusing on the decline of test scores for the last three years. By making all staff views all 2,800 students that were below average for all three years. Requiring mandatory training for all teachers and staff should be complete upon reviewing data. So they are able to identify their student’s specific strengths and weakness. The teacher will know where they need to concentrate their attention. (Sue W. Astley, 2016) School improvement is an evolving process that takes constant progress monitoring and constant input. A special computer-based program is needed in Rocky Road School District to pull up records of any student or classroom more efficiently. This will also assist with the monitoring progress over the two years. A committee of parents and staff will be created to better understand the data, come up with methods to increase scores and to maintain the...

First, one of the major physical features of the school is that we share areas with our neighboring high school. One example is that we share the track with them. This is great because we only use the track for about twenty minutes per gym period and about two months for sports, track and field. Having our own track would be a waste of money and space. Another reason why this is an excellent idea is because it gives the students the opportunity to interact with one another. Talking to older and experienced high schoolers will help middle schoolers when they get to high school. These are just a couple reasons why sharing areas with the high school is a stupendous idea.
I completed my final observation on October 15 at the UTC Children’s Center at Battle Academy. When I arrived to my classroom, the students were on a field trip so I quickly went down to the fire hall on Main Street to meet up with the class. At the fire hall, parents, as well as the two teachers accompanied the students. The students arrived back in their classroom around 11:10, and that is when the parents left. After the field trip the children ate lunch in the cafeteria, had a brief lesson in the classroom, and played outside. The class I observed was preschool, with most children around 3 to 4 years old. All the children seemed to be developing normally. There were 7 boys and 3 girls present in the classroom.
In looking at how education within the primary sector is organised between Denmark and England, it is necessary to examine the brief historical and political influences in order to pay homage to the structure and processes of both primary schools in reference with these chosen countries. In Denmark, the outcome for the educational system evolves from their culture and values that accentuates an individualism approach, thus, creating a pol...
Dr. Ray’s nationwide research indicates that more than 90% percent of the parents do not hold valid, government approved teaching certificates (2009). Whereas, all teachers, both public and private, have those certificates, and are taught, trained and certified to teach each certain aged students (“Home Schooling” 2011). Since the quality of education neither monitored nor regulated by the government, it is doubtful to trust the quality of education that parents provide to their children (“Home Schooling”, 2011). Teachers and administrators firmly control the quality of education they provide to students. They are concerned not only with the academics, but also with the engagement of the students in extracurricular activities at the school. Therefore classroom education is able to provide socialization, which is an important aspect of youth

There are both many negatives and positives to each educational system. Deciding on where to send your child is based upon personal preferences and expectations. All of the factors discussed in this paper have to be considered and compared in order to fully make the decision.
First, it is necessary to examine the current paradigm within education in order to determine exactly what it is about the modern system that requires changing. One of the most immediate concerns comes as a result of the school facilities the...
With the proper guidance and support, teachers can achieve academic excellence in the classroom. They follow their principal’s vision and share their goals. Teachers also serve as leaders in their classroom. They share their vision and goals with their students promoting positive attitudes in the classroom. Just like it is important for principals to respect and understand what their teachers need, students also need the support, understanding, respect and empathy from their teachers. When teachers demonstrate commitment in the classroom and set high expectations they raise the level of learning in the classroom. Teachers that work with the students and their parents to understand and meet their needs will achieve positive academic outcomes. Students engage in learning with positive attitudes and strive for high achievements. Teachers work together with their leaders to improve their teaching
