...political fundamentalism” (1) is taking its place. The author gives many possible directions for hope but still his writings lack possible more in depth directions to stop this growing trend. The author defends this with discussing how this type of logic is exactly what he is fighting against. Pre-written instructions that society has become so used to that it doesn’t know what direction to go when faced with difficulty and if it wasn’t taught that way then don’t do it that way. Democracy is something we hear more and more since the beginning of the Iraq war up to the next presidential election. But one question this book asks and as scholars we must ask ourselves, “Is our society, in all aspects, really democratic?” In the first essay of the book Giroux discusses how universities have become bedfellows with the American war machine. Giving the reader a raw look at how far universities have become militarized. The beginnings can be traced back to the post-WWII years. Giroux argues that even though it has been at least 50 years since this invasion of militarism into universities, since 911 this militarism has spread beyond the walls of the university into mainstream society. The concept of militarism is the dominance of the military over the state or the broader culture, militarization is more fundamental and pervasive part of a basic military philosophy and its underlying assumptions. The author contends that the two meanings are becoming one and is now used as solutions...

...Individual Reflection Essay Abstract As a leader today, there are many challenges that you are faced with. The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) is a program that has standards for school leaders to follow. The six standards are to be used as guides to make sure the organization runs smoothly. If ever the organization gets off track, the ISLLC standards can also be used as tools to get the organization back on track. These standards also keep the community informed and a part of the decision making process. Final Benchmark Assessment: Individual Reflection Essay The purpose of this essay is to show possible solutions to leadership challenges using the ISLLC 2008 standards. The purpose of the standards and how they impact the educational community will also be addressed. The ISLLC 2008 standards were drafted by personnel from 24 state education agencies and various professional associations (ISLLC, 2008). These standards were developed to enhance the skills of school leaders in order to produce enhanced educational outcomes (ISLLC, 2008). Standard 2 The first major challenge facing the leadership at my school is students that cannot read. Many students that reach third grade in my school are reading at a grade level below and some are two grade levels below. This is a major issue because it means that the ball has been dropped and it is also the first year for the students to take standardized tests. This challenge reflects Standard...

...schools, and there is not one standard that is more important than another. Leaders should be concentrating on how to make the learning environment more effective for student learning. In this essay I will give the challenges faced in that standard and the purpose of the standards and how do they impact that educational community. Taking a look at standard 1, a leader has to focus on creating visions and goals for students to be successful. One of the challenges I see is that a vision and goal is very important and having to create a vision and goal that can be attained by every student isn’t as easy as it sounds. Students come in all shapes, forms and fashions and as leaders we are still held accountable for their success which means that whatever goals are set they need to have great meaning for the students. Now, the stakeholders are also a part of this decision and this could lead to major disagreement but eventually compromise will be made. The purpose is so that students have something to shoot for and look to and say they have achieved something in life. Next things are for all persons involved are to model and implement the visions and goals that are set. In standard 2, a leader must maintain a positive environment, whether it be towards others students, teachers or administrators. The struggle with this is building the culture of your school to show the positive attitudes and school pride. It all starts with once again the stakeholders getting involved and modeling how...

...concern. Special education students have rights that clearly state the disciplinary regulations that must be followed. Therefore it is imperative that special education and regular education teachers are familiar with the many rules and regulations implemented by the Individuals with Disabilities Act (2004). As an aspiring educator, I want to ensure that I am well informed of and follow the rules and regulation for disciplining special education students. With that being said I had the opportunity to interview a high school and elementary school administrator. The following essay will discuss the details of the interviews. Interviewing Dr. J. Murphy (elementary administrator) and Mr. H. Hall (high school administrator) was a great learning experience. We were able to discuss some of the issues that special educators and regular education teachers have concerning the disciplining of their special education students. I asked each administrator various questions and their responses were very interesting. Interview Dr. Murphy, for the pass week I have been learning about the disciplinary regulations that have been implemented for special education students as well as some concerns that teachers have. Can you please share with me some of the discipline issues that often arise with special needs students at your school? “I deal with many disciplinary issues concerning special education...

...Essay #1 When embarking on a school and community relations program, the district needs to first adopt a community relations policy. A policy is the basis for the superintendent and their staff to work out the details of the program for the board’s approval. Local school boards are largely responsible for devising the policy. The policy should be short and simple. It should state what should be done and reasons for doing so. Making it clear and simple reduces the chances of misunderstanding, puts a restraint against impulsive action, and also serves as a guide in decision making. Every school district’s strategic plan of school and community relations must contain internal and external communication plans. The board sets a positive tone for the program when it consults with interested citizens and representatives of community groups on problems facing the schools. Interested citizens have much to contribute to the solution of those problems. Consulting these people makes them partners in the job of education and helps develop a basic policy for encouraging and expanding constructive relationships between the school and the community. The governing board should understand and model its policy-setting responsibilities on actions that are in the best interests of students and their learning. In a centralized plan, the school administrators most responsible for school community relations are the school superintendent and central office administrators. In a decentralized...

...Individual Reflection Essay-How the ISLLC standards pertain to leadership behavior at my site. Jeanette Noriega Grand Canyon University, ED 534 February 25, 2014 Individual Reflection Essay-How the ISLLC standards pertain to leadership behavior at my site. Three major challenges facing the leadership at my cite and the ISLLC standards they reflect and the proposed possible solutions based on the standards. 1. Appropriate staffing numbers. One major challenge we are facing at my cite is not having appropriate staffing numbers. We have really high numbers, our class size averages are 35-40 students. We need more teachers, but lack funds to hire any. This reflects on Standard 3, obtain, allocate, align, and efficiently utilize human, fiscal, and technological resources (ISLLC 3.B, 2008). One solution that is already taking into effect is we are currently changing to a targeted title one school. With this taking into place we are hoping to get funding to hire more teachers or specials to help out with these high numbers. 2. Intervention for our struggling students. Another challenge is the lack of intervention for our struggling students. Our student population comes from very diverse socioeconomic status and demographics. We have students in the lower spectrum who are reading at 2nd grade reading level and are struggling in math compared to students in the higher spectrum who are in the gifted program and honor academy. The district gives a lot of support to the...

...Health Reform Essay for Concepts in Health Admin Graduate Course With the 2010 passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), health care leaders are facing increased pressure to meet the demands of the reform. The implementation of the ACA expanded healthcare coverage to millions of Americans. This expansion of coverage meant that health care facilities needed to be equipped with enough workers to meet the large number of patients who would now be seeking medical care. However, prior to the ACA, the health care force was already facing a shortage of providers, such as physicians and nurses (Anderson, 2014). So, while health care reform was necessary, it came at a time when health care systems were already in a fragile place. In order for health care institutions to meet the challenges of the ACA and be successful in today’s society, it is imperative that they are equipped with administrators and leaders who “…have diverse skills and a different intellectual approach, as well as creativity, adaptability, and flexibility” (Cicatiello, 2000, p. 21). Prior to the implementation of the ACA, barriers to health insurance left approximately 47 million Americans uninsured (Garfield et al., 2014). At that time, quality health insurance was very costly. Many Americans were too poor to afford health insurance, but made too much to qualify for Medicaid. Additionally, many of America’s largest companies did not offer health benefits to their employees, even if they...

...| Concept of Ethics & Obligations | George Tenet: Ethical Dilemmas | | Vivian L Burke | | February 5, 2012 In his essay Public Administration and Ethics: A Prologue to a Preface, Dwight Waldo identifies and differentiates between private and public morality and notes that the two can often be at odds with each other. In Waldo’s opinion, the fundamental premise of public morality is that the actions and behavior of those in office or tasked with the representation of the public, should be done for the good of all. Hence it is about more than simply being honest, trustworthy and law abiding. Often personal, professional, legal and organizational goals are in conflict. The competent public administrator is one who in spite outside pressures, is able to juggle and overcome these conflicting ethical codes (White 2008). George Tenet was well liked, direct and loyal. Though he was not an experienced politician and lacking any experience in foreign policy and lacked military background, he was chosen to become the Director of Central Intelligence at the CIA. He inherited a CIA at a point of dismal morale. The agency suffered due to years of inconsistent leadership and direction. Tenet’s priorities were rebuilding the CIA, improving morale, advancing technological capabilities to acquire intelligence and to clarify and enforce the mission of the agency. The CIA continued to suffer intelligence blunders that were the basis of misinformation or lack of knowledge about...

Supplier firms under increasing pressure from relentless competitive forces are seeking to retain and grow the share of business from profitable existing customers as a means of finding a way out of downward spiralling price pressures. While a lot has been written in academics about the importance of CVM, several gaps remain on understanding how a large company actually undertakes this journey. Crafting competitive value chains and focusing on streams of competition are also emerging as important agenda for supplier firms since, increasingly, the end customer is no longer willing to pay for inefficiencies in the value chains. In this context, the challenge for a supplier firm in business...

...RETHINKING THE IDENTITY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: INTERDISCIPLINARY REFLECTIONS The world of government and public administration has traveled far since the early days of its struggle for disciplinary independence. Lately, there has been talk of the advent of a new spirit in the public sector, or at least expectations of its coming. Some say that such a spirit is already here. Others aver we are witnessing only the tip of change. The world wide globalization process supported by stronger orientations towards open markets, open highways of information, growing levels of organizational learning and interdisciplinarity in the social sciences have also made their impact on the study of our bureaucracies. Yet by all definitions public administration in the beginning of the 2000s still lacks the sense of identity that other fields of the social sciences has long since obtained. In other words, the Have you looked outside lately at the world of government and administration? Have you noticed a strange scent in the air indicating the arrival of a new spirit in the public sector? Some people say it is already here. Others say we have only witnessed the edge of the change. Yet by all definitions public administration at the beginning of the 2000s is looking for its way forward. Today, it is already much different from what it used to be forty, thirty, and even twenty or ten years ago. In the coming years it is going to be even more different. field is looking back and down into its...
