Decision-Making Flow Chart

Transcript: The Superintendent reviews decisions that must be made by a party of supporters. Here decisions include more than just the superintendent. But they do not arrive if the decision can be easily made by Principals. Decisions making here is simple if the complaint or need is within the scope of the school center. Many times decision making does not leave the physical site if the Principal addresses any concerns with the teachers or parents. Albuquerque Public Schools. 2014. Decision-Making Process Retrieved from; aps.edu Child Find. April, 2011. EDL/535 University of Phoenix. 2014 A city district is usually color coded and covers a great amount of terrain. The districts are divided among the city and includes communities that can sustain each other in all areas where they can gather a sufficient amount of pupils that can serve a wide area without over crowding. Decisions are reviewed in districts before they move on to the legislature if necessary. Irene Collins November 22, 2014 University of Phoenix References The decision making process may be as simple as a student needing to change classrooms for a particular reason. Or the parent thinks that the student has certain special needs. In which case, a meeting is held and a decision is made. On the other hand IEP's can be established if need be. At this point, the decision needs to go no further than the school site. Teachers & Parents Superintendents Decision-Making Flow Chart The City Districts Principals The New Mexico State Legislature All decisions are based upon cause and effect. Questions that arise are for example; Is a certain technique effecting anyone or anything? Is something causing anything to happen that is undesirable? If the answer is yes to any of these questions or if there has been a complaint then more likely it will go through the following steps first. Before it reaches the state legislature any one particular item has already been through a list of people. Teachers or Parents The Principal The District The Superintendent The State Legislature

Transcript: The district is made up of 63 schools with over 58,000 students. There are over 7,000 employees. Each decision made by the School Board directly effects each of these people. It is one of the largest districts in the state. Decisions in Public Schools Decision-Making Flow Chart Ashley Brobst EDL 535 Professor Jones Bezzina, C. (1993).

(2012). Retrieved from http:/ /www.doe.virginia.gov/about/index.shtml The Virginia Board of Education is made up of several members. There is a president, vice president and seven members. These members are appointed by the governor and approved by the General Assembly for a four year term and can only serve two consecutive terms. In order to organize the schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Education is in place. Public elementary and secondary schools policy making body is the VDOE. They govern many parts of education including teacher education, curriculum, evaluation and accountability. Our school consists of two principals, a department chair for each subject area, and a reading specialists. Each grade level team is also organized with a team leader. In addition, committees for many different areas are in place. District Responsibilities Each and every decision is important when it comes to the education of our children. Here, you will see three branches that govern and help run successful schools in our state. Everyone that has a part in these branches makes important decisions for students everyday. State Decisions Leaders at the State Level School Decisions District Decisions School Board members serve a four year term and are elected by community members. Each of the five members are elected for the area that they live in. Many responsibilities are left up to the individual schools. Some of these include: Discipline procedures and consequences Daily schedule for each grade level Extra-curricular activities for students Field trips and in-school performances Staff development plans on some teacher workdays School improvement plan decisions Responsibilities at the School Level Leaders at the District Level Decisions Made by the State Responsibilities at the State Level The main duties of the Board of Education include: Setting curriculum standards for the state Establishing requirements for high school graduation Determining qualifications for classroom teachers, principals, and other education personnel Create and regulate state testing and assessment programs Establishing standards for accreditation of local school divisions and preparation programs for teachers and administrators Enforcing the No Child Left Behind Act and administering federal assistance programs Developing rules and regulations for the administration of state programs. The School Board serves the community schools in the following ways: ensures that the eduction the students get is the best seek and use community views in decisions assist in curriculum material purchases decide which buildings will be renovated, replaced and when new ones will be built create calendar for students and teachers develop and maintain a budget References Leaders at the School Level Each school in the world is alike and different in many ways (Bezzina, 1993). It is because of this that it is important that schools be able to make many of their decisions on their own. According to a bill passed in the Spring of 2014, several Standards of Learning tests were eliminated from school requirements. These include three in elementary schools and two in middle schools. School implications: With the pressure of the testing eliminated, teachers can incorporate more extensive, hands-on activities. In turn, students learn through more exciting, constructivist methods. District implications: Departments in the district are charged with developing an alternative assessment to measure students learning in these areas.

Decision Making Flow Chart

Transcript: One example of a decision that was made at the state level is when the governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal tried to pass a bill that authorized the use public monies to fund student vouchers. This would allow parents to pull their student from a failing school and use the voucher to pay for private school. The state legislature agreed and it was signed into law. The law was later challenged and the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled the law unconstitutional )Strauss, 2012,p,1). Had this law not been overturned, it would have greatly affected the states public schools. Public schools would have lost the funding for each student who left with a voucher which would have further depleated their resources making it even harder for them to improve, Example 1 The decisions that mold and shape the educational system in St. Tammany Parish go through many channels before they actually affect the schools. These channels act as filters, which helps ensure that all decisions are well thought through, fair, equitable, and in the best interest of the students. For this system of checks and balances to be effective it is imperative that all members cooperate and collaborate, always having the best interests of the students in mind. Strauss, V. (2012). Louisiana Supreme Court rules school voucher funding unconstitutional.

These decisions are made at three levels: State, District, and School. Every decision is critical to the success of the school and must be carefully weighed and thought through before a decisions are made and policy is enacted. Throughout this presentation we will look at each of the 3 levels and will identify who has decision-making power and responsibilities at each level The principal is responsible for most areas of day-to-day school operation. He/she guides behavior management, budgeting, staff supervision, and curriculum. Principals publicly represent the school and interact with district, state and federal authorities. Vice principals assist the principal in various areas. School Principal Assistant Principal Conclusion Louisiana Department of Education. (2014). About us.

This was proposed and voted on by the state, then passed down to the district who was put in charge of implementing it in the schools. The district discussed these changes with the school principals at the monthly meeting and the schools principals are put in charge of preparing their teachers for the upcoming changes.

Retrieved July 20, 2014, from Louisiana Believes: http://www.louisianabelieves.com The State Includes State Superintendent, BESE, legislators References Everything that happens in a school is based on a decision someone else made. Everything has its purpose. As a teacher or a teacher leader at a school, we must know there is a chain of command and decisions made at our level are based on directives (or decisions) made at other levels of the educational ladder. It is our job as teachers and teacher leaders to make decisions that are beneficial for our school and our students. Conclusion Before we get mad at decisions made by our administration we have to think about where their directives are coming from. What has the legislation passed down to them. A good leader analyzes their school and decides when it is good to implement certain things based on solid decisions. The District Includes School Board Members, Superintendent and Administration

Transcript: Teachers make decisions each day in regard to classroom policy and discipline, grading, student IEPs, lesson plans, classroom environment, and parent communication. "Research states that 'the average classroom teacher will make more than 1,500 educational decisions every school day” (Wickstead, 2012, para. 1). The State Responsibilities in the decision making process: The state education leader is called the Chief Education Officer, or the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) Publishes a list of requirements needed for a person to become a certified teacher Administers standardized tests and collect data of the students' results Identifies major issues and make them public. Also, attempts to find solutions for them Teachers A head of school, principal, academic administrator, or a vice-principal decisions are made daily but are typically subject to a process and specific protocol that ensures that all of the legal ramifications are addressed as well as the needs of the students and staff. Dependent upon the significance of the issue, the decisions may be subject to district and state approval. Making decisions in schools can be difficult simply because of the number of stakeholders involved. Having a hierarchy within the state education system makes coming to decisions more simple because all individuals are aware of their role in the process. Decision making in schools is necessary because "it is essential for every school leader to possess the savvy to effect positive change, raise achievement levels, and foster a positive school climate" (Brower and Balch, 2005, p. 144). Athena Rittenberg EDL/535 Rahim Jones The State District Examples: References: Budget Approvals Curriculum Human Resources State Reporting Example of Decision at the State Level The District Responsibilities in the decision making process: The Superintendent of Schools is responsible for executing Board of Education policies Responsible to local school district citizens for the education of public school students Approves programs of study, textbooks, and hiring of teachers and administrators Endorses offerings such as adult and youth enrichment classes, early childhood education, and high school completion programs Securing sites, constructing and equipping school buildings Obtaining and budgeting money to operate the schools The national government has decided to cut funding to schools nationwide.

The state, district, and school level each play an essential part of ensuring the success of all schools. References District Level District Example Chief Executive Office & Board of Directors Power & Responsibilities: Administrators - make all employment related decisions based upon performance, effectiveness, and qualifications as applicable to each specific position. School Level Chief Executive Officer is the head of the network and is responsible for making the decisions that affect the entire network. The decision-making process for each level is a vital process in education. According to Jefferson Public Schools "The goal of School Based decision making is to ensure there is the staff, parent, and community involvement needed to accomplish the district mission through its Strategic Plan". The decisions affects and benefit all schools, staff, students, and the community. My presentations will explain each level and their involvement in the decision-making for all schools. According to the Louisiana State Board, "BESE create policies that govern the statewide operations of public and non-public schools, administer the budget for educational program and services at those schools, and conduct administrative hearing to resolve and conflict concerning its policies and actions". There is controversy of taking over another failing school. The Board of directors meet to discuss and vote on rather or not the new school development will fit in the budget or benefit the network. Decision-Making The Board of Directors are responsible for staff benefits, development, policy making, administration, healthcare, and leadership.

The State Board was the only board who could agree to implement the new standards for all Louisiana schools. The school is adding another grade level next school year. The leaders will make the decision for hiring staff members. State Level Example
