...stakeholders of a local school community Responsibilities of the stakeholders are to make sure the school is running properly, parents need to participate in the PTA and volunteer. Parents need to make sure the homework is getting done, teachers need to make sure the curriculum is getting taught correctly, and then all stakeholders have ethical and moral responsibilities. The stakeholders are comprised of the government, school board members, superintendent, principals, teachers, parents and students. Government Local governments at all levels decide education policy, including county, city, town and district. Their task is to make critical decisions about funding while serving as a channel between local communities and state education departments. School Board A school board is comprised of members that are usually elected by the residents of the school district, but in some districts are elected by the mayor or other executives of jurisdictions that may include towns, cities, or counties. They are the guardians of the policy that help implement changes that will benefit the district or support the superintendent of the district who has the responsibility of implementing and maintaining the policies set by the board. Superintendent The district superintendent as a stakeholder also makes important decisions in matters such as new school construction, the districts finance, and a major part of the curriculum and teaching that goes on in the schools of the district...

...August 2010, a total of 33 states, school districts, charter school coalitions, and other education organizations¹ had received Teacher Incentive Funds (TIF) to redesign compensation programs for teachers and principals. The U.S. Department of Education named a new cohort of TIF grantees on September 23, 2010. TIF grantees have faced a number of challenges as they have worked to design and implement new educator pay programs. Among the most demanding challenges has been developing a targeted set of metrics around available and manageable data. Grantees use these metrics to measure teacher or principal effectiveness and assign pay. Recently, grantees have made it a priority to sustain operation programs once their federal funding expires. TIF grantees have also found, often belatedly and unexpectedly, that effective stakeholder engagement and communication are challenging and essential to the success of their pay programs. Stakeholder engagement helps to create buy-in and initial acceptance of the TIF plan. It allows different voices and perspectives to be heard and recognized as new approaches to compensation develop. Communication provides the synergy to broaden buy-in and sustain support for the program. This paper describes the ways in which TIF grantees have approached stakeholder engagement. It is based on data from multiple sources, including TIF program monitoring reports, Center for Educator 1 For example, New Leaders for New Schools. Compensation Reform (CECR) technical...

A number of schools have been established catering to the youngest generation, such as the Unity School, Khartoum Grammar School and recently Khartoum International Community School. Yet there has been a consistent flow of complaints against these establishments ranging from the ridiculously high fees of some to the low quality of overall education services. Therefore establishing a primary school is a major step forward for the Local Council in taking into account the needs of families with young children and would help stem the flow of these families with young children away from our community abroad. According to projected figures and the experience of other schools, a primary school could be operated profitably after the initial startup period. It would provide a local option for the early childhood education for Khartoum’s growing community of small children...

Learning through play is the key element and is used more in early years than a formal education. This is because play shows to be more helpful in a child’s early development. 1b) Explain the characteristics of the different types of school in relation to educational stages and governance. There are 4 types of mainstream state school community, foundation and trust, voluntary and specialist. These 4 types follow the national curriculum. Other types include Independent/Free schools and academies; these don’t have to follow the curriculum and are governed in different ways. Community schools Run and owned by local authorities and not by their governing body. The local authority will usually determine the admissions policy and support the school in looking at ways to develop links within the local community. They also provide support services to the school. Some community schools, local groups use school facilities to hold classes of their own. Foundation and trust schools Foundation schools are run by their own governing body, that decide on admissions policy following consultation with the local authority. Its land and all buildings are also owned by the governance or charitable foundation. A trust school is like a foundation school but has a charitable trust and outside partner like a business. It can only become a trust school with...

...Food System Economic Context of Local Food Production How redevelopment of a local food system meets economic and green jobs goals. The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District reported in spring 2009 that farmers are a key to the local economy. The 2007 Census of Agriculture stated that in Carlton, St. Louis and Douglas counties farming is one of the largest family-owned, small business sectors of the local economy. Farmers in these three counties sold $27.7 million of livestock and crops in 2007. Cattle and dairies are the most important component in our region with $17.3 million of total sales. They reported a potential to increase productivity here. About one third of the farmland in this region was fertilized or had manure applied in 2007, and hay fields averaged about 1.5 tons per acre. Nationwide, more than two thirds of cropland was fertilized (although that includes row crops) and hay fields were about 2.5 tons per acre – even in other parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, with a similar climate. Farming is one of the bigger sources of income for self-employed business owners in this region. In Carlton County, for example, farmers sold $8 million of produce in 2007. Only self-employed construction firms, with $14 million of sales, and real estate, with $8.2 million in sales, were larger. It’s likely that agriculture in regions like the Northland will be even more important in the future. The United States currently has an abundance of cropland – about 1.4 acres per person...

...Sending a child to college; out of state versus in state High School Seniors and their parents often find that the school that the student has chosen may come with hidden surprises in the form of extremely high tuition rates. These rates make a local college a much more attractive and arguably, logical, choice. The extreme difference in the cost of attending a local college versus an out of state college is a factor that weighs on many parents and prospective students minds as they assess the cost and benefits of each option. Local colleges, or ones that are instate, come with a lower price tag for tuition than a out of state school. For example; Georgia Regents University tuition rates are approximately $2400 per semester for Georgia residents versus over $9000 for the nonresident rate at the same school. In addition to the lower tuition costs, a student may have the ability to live at home with parents saving even more money by eliminating the need for a dormitory room and meal plan. Further savings are realized by remaining close to family and thus having little or no travel associated with visits during breaks and summer vacations. Attending a local college allows for reduced or even no debt. Student loans are one of the biggest sources of debt among Americans coming out of High School. Beginning your adult life with this kind of debt can be a daunting prospect and causes many otherwise able and willing High School graduates to instead enter directly into the workforce rather...

...Paradise addressed the issues encountered in the research pertaining to increasing KMAAD’s presence on the Island of Kava. We will discuss the issues, discovered and reported, in part I and part II using the financial decision technique. Expanding our presence on KAVA, will enable KMAAD to increase the exporting of commodities and make a positive impact in the lives of the local populace. Accomplishing this will increase KMAAD’s revenue and ensure a steady supply of commodities needed to meet our customers demand. Our first recommendation is to hire a local for the position of receptionist. The receptionist will be responsible for the cleaning and organizing the office and managing our contacts with local officials. The knowledge of local customs and procedures for working with the government of Kava and the citizens will be invaluable in increasing our presence. The salary will be offset by allowing company officials the time to meet with local contacts and still have the office open. Natural disasters have created a mess on the island. Tourism and exports are down. Our first recommendation is to work with the government of Kava to apply for a HUD section 108 loan. The proceeds of this loan, at greatly reduced interest rates, will accomplish improving the transportation infrastructure and give the residents pride in their community. Tourism will increase with a clean and safe destination. Without adequate infrastructure the suppliers will have a hard time reaching our processing...

...Mytech LLC | Marketing Plan Proposal | Stupid Boy Comic Book | | | 1/15/2016 | Stupid Boy Marketing Plan – Initial First Draft | Stupid Boy Marketing Plan 1. Identify the correct target market 2.1. The current target market is simply too young to fully grasp the meaning of the comic. Stupid boy is a philosophical lesson to teach which is good however a 4 year old will simply not have interest in getting such a book. 2.2. 4 – 8 year olds are also more engaged if the content has good visuals, bright colours and easy messages thus the new target group should be from 7 – 12 year olds. 2.3. Through direct marketing get to the group by cold selling to preschools, kindergartens, primary schools, local churches, monastery’s, teachers forums and offer incentives listed below. Be aggressive to drive sales. 2. Get creative with your merchandising even when using different locations to sell your book. 3.4. Make banners of characters using your current workforce, with the character and the company’s name/logo and get an advantageous spot in the other retailers to attract attraction to your book e.g. the centre spot by the entrance with higher customer traffic. 3.5. Seal and cover your book so that customers are not able to read the comic book. 3.6. At EduMall, have a reading corner with bean bags and some chairs, decorate it, get a mascot who can also go to the other retailing outlets and get customers immediately...

...An Essay: An evaluation of how workplace practice is influenced and directed by a specific social policy. Social policy is “the theoretical pursuit of norms about how we think society ‘ought’ to behave” (Alcock et al. 2008) in action it consists of plans and interventions put in place by the government and social services to improve the wellbeing of society. There are five main areas influenced by social policies derived to improve services for the classic welfare state namely, education, housing, social security, health and social work. Social policy is intimately concerned with how to address and ameliorate social problems and with the analysis of the success or failure of policies designed to improve welfare and wellbeing (Alcock et all. 2008:2-3) Historically social policy can be seen as far back as 1388 when “attempts were made to fix wages and to limit the mobility of labour which may cause wages to rise” (Alcock, 2008:9) a more methodical system of poor relief was introduced in Victorian times, the Elizabethan Poor Law Acts of 1598 and 1601 to house and provide work for the poor under the direction of local parishes. Following this the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 set the foundations for social policy and the modern welfare state today by changing the way that poor law was dealt with, it was streamlined into universal laws and principles that towards the end of the 18th century prompted formation of the English government.
