...Foundations of Education October 18, 2012 Dr. Tim Florian Local School Community Collage My collage contains the major stakeholders of a local school community. They include community, family, preschool, and school district stakeholders. The community stakeholders include state lawmakers, state licensing personnel, local organization members, child service agencies, local businesses and their owners, and real estate organizations and companies. Family stakeholders are students, parents, extended family members of students, parents of community preschoolers, and student guardians. Preschool stakeholders include the preschool board of directors, program owners, program directors, preschool teachers, and preschool teaching staff. School district stakeholders are education administrators, school board members, school site committee members, teachers, other certified staff, classified staff, and school volunteers. All these stakeholders work together with the best interest of the school district at heart. State lawmakers make the laws that school districts follow. State licensing personnel ensure all school personnel are properly educated, trained, and meet all licensing requirements. They also issue all certificates and licenses to school employees. Local organization members are churches, Rotary Club, and other civic organizations; child service agencies, such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters and YMCA; local businesses and their owners; and real estate organizations...

...My collage includes pictures of who I believe are the major stakeholders in a local school community. I started by incorporating pictures of people on the top who actually create rules for the children and teachers within the schools. I was sure to find a picture that showed a group of what I perceived as an administrator, a state representative, a superintendent and a principal gathering to create ways to better the education of students. My idea was to actually show someone from the state meeting with school board representatives with the new rules mandated. I added a picture of a gentleman separate which I choose to reflect the principal who would then pass the information learned down to his teachers. The second level of my collage is to show the teachers first having a meeting amongst themselves and making sure they all know the new curriculum put upon them for the students and the education of them thereof. The second picture shows a teacher having one-on-one time with the students to ensure they are understanding the material taught to them. The third picture is an example of a teacher meeting with the parents of the child. I choose this picture to show how teachers can incorporate family so that they also know what is being taught ensuring the support is not only there for the child at school but also at home. The next level, which is the second to bottom portion of my collage, represents families actually putting the time in to help the child at home and actually displaying...

...Lorrie57 EDU-210 November 10, 2012 Local School Community Collage To incorporate an educational school system, there are six distinctive educational stakeholders involved in this process. The school board members, superintendent, site administrator, teachers, parents, and students are closely involved in the overall operations of schools. The school board is comprised of members that are usually elected by the residents of the school district. The size of a school board varies between districts. School boards have the power to hire and fire teachers and administrators. The school district superintendent has the job responsibility of making sure personnel selections meet state standards and benefits the district with their educational experience. The superintendent makes important decisions in matters such as new school construction, the districts finance, and a major part of the curriculum and teaching in the schools of the district. The site administrator or principal is the stakeholder in the school setting; he/she is expected to set the academic tone for students, parents, staff, and community members through effective leadership. The teacher, along with the student, plays an interactive role in the education process, because one cannot function without the other. The teacher as a stakeholder is expected to possess the professional knowledge to lead the students in instruction. The parents’ role, as educational stakeholders, is to ensure that their children...

...Expository Paragraph: Going to a collage and living away from home is really expensive. In any college the tuition fee and a room can cost around from College $2,000 to $10,000 per semester, but other expenses make going to college even more expensive. For example, books cost between $100 and $500 each term. The materials are also very expensive. Paper, notebooks, writing utensils, and other supplies required often cost more at the college bookstore than at any local discount department store. For an instance, a package of notepaper costing $2 at a store might cost $5 at a college bookstore. In addition, there are all kinds of special fees added onto the bill at the registration time. A college student might have to pay an insurance fee of $50, a $20 activity fee, a $15 fee to the student government association and anywhere from $500 to $100 for parking. The fees never seem to end. Persuasive Paragraph: The school fair is right around the corner and tickets have just gone on sale.

...The program I am going to talk about in this case report is the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) in the United States. A brief history about the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, through 1989, nine Prescription Drug Monitoring Program has been established. Two were located in state Attorneys General offices (California 1939 and Pennsylvania, 1972); two departments of Public Safety (Hawaii, 1943 and Texas, 1981) one in Department of Substance Abuse Services (Illinois, 1961); one in a Board of Pharmacy; and one in a Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Health Professions (Michigan, 1988). How PDMPs are organized and operated varies among states. Each state determines which agency houses the PDMP; which controlled substances must be reported; which types of dispensers are required to submit data (e.g., pharmacies); how often data are collected; who may access information in the PDMP database (e.g., prescribers, dispensers, or law enforcement); the circumstances under which the information may (or must) be accessed; and what enforcement mechanisms are in place for noncompliance. A lot of people die from overdose of drugs in the United States and from drug abuse, not only that but there a lot of non-medical drug use in the United States as well.

...Malaga on October 25, 1881 to parents Jose Ruiz Blasco and Maria Picasso Lopez. Picasso was known to be a genius by the time he was ten years old, which was when he painted his first picture. He would go on to paint very many paintings and the first of these were focused on bullfighting; the significance is in the fact that he had been exposed to it since he was 3. When Picasso turned 15, he entered the Barcelona’s School of Fine Arts, where his father was an art teacher. That is where he really learned to paint. Soon after entering the school he won a gold medal for his very realistic painting of a doctor, a nun, and a child at a sick woman’s bed entitled, “Science and Charity”. There was a rumor that one day Pablo’s father asked him to finish the pigeons in a picture he was working on. They say Pablo painted them so well that his father put down his paintbrush and never painted again. His father realized the talent that his son had. In 1899 Picasso quit his academic studies and joined the circle of young avant-garde artists and writers who gathered at the local tavern. There they worked on all different styles of art. In 1900 Picasso had his first solo exhibition, which included many different styles of art. Also in 1900, Picasso began traveling back and forth to Paris before settling there in 1904. While in Paris he began painting pictures from the streets of Paris and Barcelona. He would find a scene that he found interesting and he would sit down and put it on canvas....

...Running head: Professional Development Plan Professional Development Plan Jeff S. University of Phoenix Course Number Nur/391 Mr. November 18, 20 Professional Development Introduction The field of nursing attracted me for several reasons. The first being, that a nurse is the frontline person caring for others living or dyeing. Nurses many times will discover patients who need immediate attention before physician will and it’s up to the nurse to respond accordingly within the scope of their practice to take care of that patient. That attracted me because years ago I thought of going to medical school after high school but lack of money prevented that, nursing was not introduced to me till later while attending a ACLS class at a local collage in which the instructor was a R.N., she thought I was a person whom would be good at nursing. I then searched and found out what nursing had to offer, which seemed to be along the lines of a M.D. but without the length of schooling and residency. I have been able to find a job in different areas of nursing and now working in a perioperative setting which presently meets my carrier goals. Working in an enviroment that has high technology and being self motivated, working with different disciplines and a 12 hour work days three days a week keeps me attracted. The philosophy of nursing goes beyond culture, religious beliefs, geographic location; it sometimes becomes a part of us and who we are. Though...
