Our school has implemented many schemes such as the Home-School Community Liaison Scheme, Learning Support Teacher Scheme, School Meals Programme and Free after School Study to help all students and create a learning environment in which each student has equal oppurtunity.
The Home-School Community Liaison Scheme aims to improve co-operation between home, schools and communities to advance the educational interests of disadvantaged children by encouraging, supporting and and facilitating partnership between parents and teachers. According to the HOME SCHOOL COMMUNITY LIAISON Scheme (2016) The Home schools liasion offier also works with staff to develop an understanding of educational disadvantage and promote innovative approaches and

After school study for free
As a school we aim to create practical support for our students needa, along with one-to-one tuition, a warm place to go at the beginning and end of the day, food, and the enrichment activities (sport, trips and cultural activities) that some families cannot afford.
There was more of a presence of meritocracy a number of years ago, and most schools have made decisions to end streaming classes. Purely from a social inequity point of view this is a smart move. We have already established that working class students fare less well so by streaming they would more than likely be in the one class. Unfortunately Smyth et al (2004) states that streaming of students is more prevalent in schools in disadvantaged areas which is the case in our schools. As illustrated in Hart et al (2007) 'Government-sponsored initiatives to raise standards and improve practice in schools have placed particular emphasis upon the need to differentiate by 'ability '. DEIS schools have a stem test for students entering the schools at the beginning. It is clearly evident that the brightest students are put in a higher level of class with a breakdown of other students afterwards. The schools reproduce such inequality that even those students that the test do not highlight are much after a later period. This myself I have witness, where teachers are asked for the top three students of each. What
As a result of the location of the school in a suburban community, the parents are very actively involved in the school. As a result of the active of the supportive parents in the community, the students arrived every day with a smile on their faces and generally prepared for learning. However, as with
The program is able to provide support for these student Monday through Friday, barring holidays and school breaks, at no cost to them. If the program did not exist, these students would be unable to receive the same academic support nor a safe environment to play with their peers. Additionally, the students’ parents often come topic up their child after their work day in their uniforms. If the program did not exist, the parents would have to find alternative means of care for their children after school, whether it be they return home on their own from the bus or finding a baby sitter at a costly burden. I connected with these children in this aspect as I was not privy to resources such as these. I neglected my school work that I was unable to finish by the simple inability to ask for help from my family members as they themselves did not know how to assist me with my schoolwork. The program offers a great alternative that would exist if the program was absent in the community. The longevity of the program speaks to the sustainable community relationship that the university students were able to build with the community partners at Lay Park, and the value of the program by the continued support of the Lay Park staff.
Taking into account that parents, guardians, families and the community have an abundance of knowledge to offer in regards to supporting their children’s education. Students, staff, families and the community will feel welcomed, nurtured, respected and encouraged to participate in school functions and assist in the development of our students.
Everyone loves the idea of a government that truly cares about him or her. Especially a government that would go so far as to layout a healthy diet plan to insure the health of your children and to battle childhood obesity. It is great that the government is concerned about adolescent obesity and the nutrition students receive at school. However, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Food and Nutrition Guidelines provide more problems for schools and they need to be eradicated, as well as repealing the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
(Bredekamp, 2009). I will show the parent that we can be in harmony in the program and with the family’s values. I need to take away the feeling that I am right and they are wrong and I need to see that neither one of us are right or wrong. I need to see that we are learning and trying to help their child to grow, learn and develop. (Bredekamp, 2009). The role of our local community is to provide a physical, emotional, and cognitive environment that helps in the development and learning of the child. We with community will build a foundation that is consistent, positive, and caring relationships with adults and children. (Bredekamp, 2009). We will build that relationship with teachers and children and families and teachers. We as community it is our responsibility to contribute to the well-being and learning of the child. I will get the child involved in the community and their families because it helps them to learn about themselves and the world around them. The community involved in my school helps children respect and be able to acknowledge their differences. I as a teacher will develop responsibility and help with self-regulation with the
Robert Bibbs Ms.Nikniai ERWC Period 2 6, February 2016 School Lunch Proposal Over the years of being in school, we have all come to the agreement that school lunch has never really met our expectations of being tasteful and healthy. This country has a huge problem with children having bad eating habits, but what are we really doing to change the situation in a positive way? Adults and children suffer from deadly diseases on a daily basis, due to poor diet.
The school is committed to equal treatment for all, regardless of an individual’s race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, learning difficulty, body image or social background. We believe that the educational experience can only be enriched if children are exposed to as wide a range of cultural experiences as possible whilst they are developing.
Promote positive social connections between staff and students, among students, and between schools and home.
All of the sweets and treats you remember from school lunches are now gone. The government now controls school lunches through The National School Lunch Act. This legislation provides school lunches, attributes to healthy lifestyles, puts strict boundaries on what is served, but ends up costing more money in the end.
In America, a country known for its obesity, over eating has become a big crisis. While this crisis is discussed at the national level, it is also a problem here at Liberty High School in Brentwood, California, where the students are affected due to the high calorie diet that is provided by the cafeteria. The consumption of these fatty foods on a daily basis is greatly affecting the student body and this has got to change. An effective solution to this complication is for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) to supply foods that will meet and not exceed the nutritional needs that teenagers need to consume. Although the NSLP supplies the food, the cafeteria staff are the individuals that set up the food trays that the students
To start off let me ask the question is there ways to prevent or hinder selling junk food and beverages to children of legal age to attend school? Yes there are rules that govern the selling of beverages and food in public schools that are influenced by laws at the following authorities to include federal, state, and local levels. The National School Lunch Program (“NSLP”) is the federal law that deals with food and beverages in the public school system. (Econedlink, 2014, pp.1-5). It has certain standards with rules that shows respect to foods that are in competition with NSPL which are in the areas of food service throughout the entire time of schools lunch periods. Selling of foods that is in competition with NSLP is allowed at meal
through planned and organized community partnerships schools and families can improve the experience of the urban learner in school which could could results in positive gains in academic performance. Although schools are not directly responsible for solving student’s problems outside of its walls they can
Although it is important for families to be involved with their child’s school, school personnel should also strive to create a positive interaction with families of students. Carl Dunst (2002) states that school and parent collaboration is necessary, and if schools take on a more family-centered approach, it will help create a supportive environment and help to strengthen a family’s capacity to enhance and promote a child’s development and learning.
Continuing, I also strongly believe in partnering with the families and communities of my students to help influence the students’ engagement in school, and desire to learn. In this way, I would endeavour to contact each of the parents of my students frequently, forwarding the class work and set homework to the students’ home to allow them to be followed up where possible. Additionally, I would make frequent contact with carers and government agencies where necessary to ensure students living situations are addressed as quickly as possible. This method of addressing disparities in education is addressed by Niesche & Keddie who contend that teachers need to familiarise themselves and connect students with ‘settlement services and links to settlement
