What legal challenges does your school encounter?
How do those challenges affect teachers?
What role does technology play in student learning? Technology should be used as a
support tool to reinforce a teacher's lesson.
It can be used as a resource for obtaining information outside of the classroom and
expand a students' knowledge base.
Technology has allowed teachers
to relate course content to the real
world, giving experiences that without
technology would not be possible. The
use of technology has opened doors of communication, additional resources,
and enhanced student learning.

The property tax is the primary source of local revenue for school districts, and property wealth varies significantly between districts within a state. As a result, districts with small property tax bases typically find it harder than those with large property tax bases to generate local revenue for schools.

What TEACH Does Not Allow
The new exemptions under TEACH specifically do not extend to:
TEACH Act facilitates and enables the performance and display of copyrighted materials for distance education by accredited, non-profit educational institutions (and some government entities) that meet the Act's qualifying requirements. Its primary purpose is to balance the needs of distance learners and educators with the rights of copyright holders. TEACH applies to distance education that includes the participation of any enrolled student, on or off campus.

A business education teacher is walking around classroom looking over student work on computer. Teacher approaches one young lady who is typing a quite extensive word document that does not look anything like the assigned table the students were assigned to insert and design, she notices that it appears to be a personal journal entry. Teacher instructs student to close the document and complete the assignment. Teacher continues to walk around classroom and observe student performance. At the end of class the student were instructed to save assignment to their personal student drive so the teacher could access and grade. That afternoon the teacher access the student public drives to pull assignments to grade, when the young ladies folder was opened the teacher opened the document under the name table 4.5. She noticed that the contents was not a table it indeed was journal entries that student had accidentally saved her journal under her assignment name. The teacher not trying to invade privacy scanned entire document and noticed there were 45days work of entries, key words such as drugs, sex, and alcohol were very prominent throughout the passages; even describing events with her mother using drugs and sharing partners.
What do you do?
Solution: An immediate referral to the counselor needs to be made and child protected services to be notified. As a teacher you are a mandated reporter. The student saving this document onto the school public drive allows the counselor to access it to discuss with the student. This may have been the students cry for help and they needed someone to see the entries to help point them in a different direction.
What is your school’s sociological
and cultural makeup?
Assessments
The purpose of the Georgia Student Assessment Program is to measure student achievement of the state-adopted content standards and inform efforts to improve teaching and learning. Results of the assessment program are utilized to identify students failing to achieve mastery of content, to provide teachers with feedback about instructional practice, and to assist school districts in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.

Standards
The Georgia Performance Standards provide clear expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work. They define the level of work that demonstrates achievement of the standards, enabling a teacher to know “how good is good enough.”

Accountability
School staff have a significant role to play in supporting children and families of cultural and language diverse backgrounds. When staff are welcoming and approachable it helps to build a sense of belonging and trust for students and their families.
Georgia is one of 10 states initially granted a waiver in February 2012 from the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Once granted, Georgia began work on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), a new
statewide accountability system based on 2012 school year data that was launched as a “study year” in May
2013. Since that first “study year," after receiving valuable feedback from our education partners and the public,
DOE staff members have revised and refined the CCRPI to make a more meaningful report. The new CCRPI
will be calculated from 2013 data reflecting the new calculation, and the 2012 scores will be recalculated
applying the new calculation methodology to the same 2012 data.

Scenario
Scenario
A disrespectful student in the classroom who will not quit texting or turn off Social Media and will not listen to instructions. After reviewing classroom procedures with the student on multiple occasions as well as a parent conference the student continues to disrupt the class and interrupt the teacher. The students disrespectful behavior is influencing the other students to ignore the teacher’s statements, and classroom policies leading to chaos in the classroom. She is becoming increasingly disruptive everyday until one day the teacher sends her out into the hall and writes a discipline referral to administration. On the way out the door the student turns to teacher and says “you can’t do anything to me, my mom will just go to the superintendent” the rest of the class heard this and keyed right in.
What do you do in this situation?
Solution: This student mentality requires immediate administrator attention as well as a parent conference. Do not address with the student any further without additional adult supervision. An administrator should be present for parent conference. Follow your schools chain of command and send discipline referral into appropriate administrator. Inform administrator of date, time, and location of parent conference. Reinforce the classroom procedures with the remainder of the students. Discuss the importance of following procedures to maintain organization, enhance learning, and prepare for their future work force. Most importantly remain calm and use the situation as a teachable moment.
Teacher notices that a Hispanic student is continuing to type while teacher is delivering instruction. Teacher begins to address the typing with the student privately. The student shows the teacher that he is using an enlish to Spanish translator as the teacher speaks so that he can understand what the teacher is saying. The teacher was not aware of the students limited English. The student request to continue to use the translator on the computer, so that he would understand what the teacher was saying.
What do you do in this situation?
Solution: Contact the school counselors. They have access to additional resources to better help the student. The system may be able to provide the student with a translator to assist them in every class. Meet with the counselor, other teachers, student, and parents to determine the best course of action to ensure student success.
