Structurally
The school’s departments have their own heads and the principal is subject to the dictates of the state. However, the previous principal used a democratic leadership style, and the current principle is more authoritarian in approach. This leaves many of the older teachers feeling out of touch with the administration, though the younger teachers are accepting of the new principal’s style of leadership—especially since the principal has enacted changes in the classroom that the younger teachers approve of.
The action plan, structurally speaking, therefore has to address the manner in which the principal and the teachers work together to achieve the mission of Baker High. In order to get everyone on the same page, the principal should communicate more effectively with the teachers and embrace a more democratic leadership style so that they can feel as though their voices are being heard. Since teachers are the backbone of the school, it is important that this be done immediately prior to the next school year beginning. The principal should send a letter to all teachers indicating that a democratic leadership style will be implemented for this coming year to help older and younger teachers engage more constructively with the administration and create a structure within the school that supports the overall objective of...
Here, the main change that needs to be affected is the promotion of a better integration between teachers and families. For this reason, the school will be mandating home visits—the concept of teachers visiting the homes of students so that they can get to meet their families and parents and better understand the students’ background and domestic situation. The trade-off for teachers is that home visits will eliminate the need for parent-teacher meetings.
The benefit for families in the community is that home visits show the community that the school and its teachers are invested in them: they want to do their all to make sure their children excel and have an opportunity to succeed in the real world. Home visits have been shown to improve teacher-family relationships (Whyte & Karabon, 2016), which is crucial to the systemic improvement of Baker High’s reputation and objective. Home visits will be mandated for all teachers in the upcoming year. Teachers do not have to visit every family but must select four families to visit every month. They will have…

real world opportunity for improvement within the education profession. For this examination, Boyne City Middle School is being approached for their problems in mathematics achievement. The data suggests that through competency tests, there is a serious rift between math scores and other scores. The inability to address this issue in the past has led to this opportunity for improvement in this area. For this school, parental involvement is key to

S. was faced with a: "critical test..." (1999) when the Serbs began their assault on the Kosovar Albanians in March 1999" and in fact Starr believes this test was of more consequence than the one posed by Iraq in 1991 because in the Gulf War the United States "faced a clear act of international aggression that threatened to put vast wealth in the hands of a murderous and hostile regime."
Homelessness Intervention Social Work Universally in the developed world, homelessness is something that communities want to end rather than manage. Co-ordinated social services can come together to create and enhance community-based responses that tackle the threat of homelessness rather than attempting to deal with it on the other end -- after the fact, after people are demoralized by the experience. An important part of any community response to homelessness is affordable housing. But
