Decision-Making Flow Chart

Transcript: District Level An example of the decisions that must be made by the state for education is that of choosing the standardized test used within the state. As of right now the state of Arizona has not come to a decision on which test will be used as the state's standardized testing during this school year (2014-2015). It was announced in late May 2014 that the state had decided against using PARCC as the standardized test for the "upcoming" school year 2014-2015. The state has said that their final decision will be made known to all educators by late October 2014. The state level of decision-making is left to the responsibility of: state governors legislators state boards of education chief state school officers state education agencies local boards of education The responsibilities are those of certification, budgeting, choosing state standards to follow, and also deciding what standardized test will be used to determine AYP for all schools within the state.

In education, decision-making is a difficult tasks because there are times that the decisions are not left up to the people closest to the beneficiaries of those decisions. This flow chart will demonstrate the decision-making in the world of education. At the district level the people responsible for decision-making would be the following: School Board Members Superintendent Administration These individuals are responsible for the budgeting of our schools, the hiring of staff, the rules and safety regulations and also the curriculum choices that are within our schools. There are many stakeholders in education but all decisions must really be brought down to the fact that they must benefit our students (our future). No matter what level the educational decisions are made they will all be passed down to the next level until the school level decides to make to correct use of it based on its students and what is best for them. Andrea Trias EDL/ 535 September 1st, 2014 Melissa Connors Decision-Making School level The new principal has recently made a purchase of digital cameras for each teacher in hopes that the cameras will be used to document academic success within the classroom. This was not introduced to the teachers until the purchase had been made and a short meeting was held to explain the uses of this new technology. Within a school decision-making is usually left up to administrators, which include: principals, vice principals, counselors, and program coordinators. They take into consideration the thoughts of the teachers but ultimately make the decision themselves. Decision-Making Flow Chart This past school year our district decided to add new technology to our classrooms, from elementary to high school classes. There were several meetings set up to introduce the new televisions that would be replacing our Promethean Boards as touch screens. Teachers and all staff members were invited to help in the decision-making of which would benefit the teachers and students at our school. In the end, the district made the decision based on budget and their understanding of how the new technology worked.

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.

Transcript: Because the Washington, D.C. is not a state the powers of hierarchy differ slightly. The mayor is in control followed by the State Board of Education, OSSE, the Chancellor, and then the Instructional Superintendents. As a result the funding and some of the criteria may change every time the city receives a new Mayor. Responsibilities of the State Board of Education Level OSSE has decided to accept the Common Core Assessment in D.C. AS a result Kaya Henderson, Chancellor for DCPS has decided to suspend teacher evaluations that include student test scores. According to (Russo, 2014) "I don't think there's a problem with our evaluation system. I believe it does what we want it to do," Henderson said. "Our teachers have increasingly more and more faith in it. I want them to continue to have faith in it." The Chancellor wants to make sure that students and teachers can adequately benefit from the new system. Audley Bain EDL 535 June 23, 2014 Dr. Rahim Jones The State Board of Education is responsible for advising the State Superintendent of Education on educational matters, including state standards, state policies, including those governing special, academic, vocational, charter and other schools, state objectives; and state regulations proposed by the Mayor or the State Superintendent of Education.

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).

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.

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.

Transcript: New York State District Main branches with the State include: Office of P-12 Education Office of Higher Education Office of Cultural Education Office of Performance Improvement and Management Services Chief Financial Office Office of Counsel Office of the Professions Office of Adult Career and Continuing Education Services Dr. John B. King, Jr. is the Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the State of New York. Dr. King Jr. is responsible for making crucial decisions that impacts the educational system within New York State. For instance, Dr. King Jr. aided in the decision to adopt the Common Core curriculum in New York State, which as been pushed in schools districts this current school year. Dr. King Jr. endorses the Common Core and has pushed numerous initiatives to school districts as well as resources and education on how to appropriate use the new state standards. New York Department of Education (2014) Within a district, each school may approach the decision-making process differently, depending on the building principal. At this level, the principal is at the top of the hierarchy with other administrators following. The principal is responsible for student discipline, observations, new hires, extra-curricular activities, as well as faculty meetings and facilitating information. For instance, the principal determines disciplinary action. He or she can designate students to detention, in- or out-of-school suspension. Duanesburg Central School District (2014) Decision-Making Flow Chart References At the district level, the superintendent is at the top of the hierarchy. All decisions presented to the district is ultimately decided upon by the superintendent. At Duanesburg Central School district, the superintendent, Mrs. Crowley, is responsible for decisions involving budget, new hires, tenure observations, etc. Typically, Mrs. Crowley works collaborating with building principals in many decision-making processes. For example, during a teacher's year of tenure approval, the superintendent has the overall say in the matter, but calls upon the specific building principal for further information. During this year, the superintendent must observe the teacher in order to approval to be considered. Duanesburg Central School District (2014) Duanesburg Central School District. (2014).

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: Applications are taken at the county level and appointments are recommended by Lead teachers within the discipline. After the annual allotment meetings, the Directors and Lead teachers recommend changes when necessary, taking care of surplus staff first. North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Decision-Making Flow Chart The district curriculum is not prescriptive. The implementation of the unit plans is left to the discretion of the teacher to select the scripts used in the plans, the pacing of the curriculum and the grades awarded for the work that is done. The State adopted Common Core and the State standards are aligned with the Common Core Essential Standards at the District level. Unit plans are developed for all Essential Standards across all grades. In Theatre Arts, all teachers are provided with the new standards and unit plans. The PTSA manages the Legacy fund annually. This fund covers the cost of materials teachers need to be effective in their classrooms. Last year the PTSA raised $130,000 to supplement the funds of the school. Teachers can use these funds to attend conferences in their field. They may also buy supplies for their classrooms. The school has used these funds to buy additional technology when the laptops supplied by the district were inadequate as configured. Not all schools have an alumni association as active as the one at Reynolds. Money coming into the school system comes from the following sources: State - 65%, Federal - 11%, Local 21% and Grants 3% (Finance, 2014) Curricula are developed and adopted at the State level.

(Human Resources, 2014) Teachers are appointed by the Principal, based on qualifications and requirements for extra-mural activities. The Principal is not permitted to appoint anyone who is not fully qualified into a full-time position, when a fully qualified candidate is available. The appointments are made on the enrollment numbers presented during allotment meetings with the Superintendent of High Schools. Licensure R. J. Reynolds High School References Teacher salaries are paid by the county, together with a county supplement. A portion of the taxes raised within the county are allocated to the School Board who decide how the funds will be allocated. The income derived from the tax base of each school is used as the measure for the allocation of these funds. This system is not conducive to equity among the schools. The School Board proposes a bond referendum to raise the funds for large capital outlays, such as the refurbishing of old buildings, building and furnishing new schools, buying new technology etc. R.
