...Abstract After reviewing the emergency preparedness plan for Lookout Valley High School, there were some questions that needed to be asked, reviewed and possibly modified. The school has never had to use the plan, and only practices small sections of it during the year. The plan was updated in 2009, to bring it up to date. Overview of Emergency Plan Before the rewrite of the emergency preparedness plan could be started, the principal sent out forms to all the teachers and staff to find out what different types of special talents were in the building. The staff went through the forms and checked those that they are trained in, or that they could perform in case of an emergency. Some of the items in the check list were, Bi or Multi-Lingual, Construction, First Aid (current card yes or no), and even Food Preparation. These and many other items that could be necessary to support a school full of people in case of an emergency. Emergency kits were placed in several areas that should be easily accessible for anyone to locate. An emergency evacuation plan was in the old plan but, the school had not added a plan to remove people from the location. The location of the school is on a dead end road surrounded by homes and a creek. The closest place to hold everyone that is large enough is a church that is less then a half mile away. With this being our safe place, the community has been notified by fliers sent home, and handed out at parent conferences. Our school has four first...

...Stopping Bullying Jessica Messer DeVry University Stopping Bullying Rachael, a seventeen year old high school student from Kentucky just wanted a regular high school experience just like everyone else gets. She wanted to be able to go to classes, dances, and the prom without having to look over her shoulder for someone stalking her and might even be trying to kill her. The great high school experience did not happen for her because she started getting harassing and threatening e-mails on her MySpace account. The e-mails consist of her activities during school hours and after school so she knew it was someone at her school. Her parents went to the principal with the problem, but the school did nothing about it. She received an e-mail stating, “I am not going to put you in the hospital; I am going to put you in the morgue.” After receiving this e-mail she committed suicide on October 9, 2006. Many of the children that take their own lives have bullies that don’t understand that their “words hurt”. (Neblett, 2010). Rachael was not the only life that was lost in that year. She had two friends Kristin Settles, (Settles, 2010) and Karissa Smith, (Smith, 2010) that took their own lives after Rachael did. The three teens all went to the same high school and was known as “The Three Musketeers.” Bullying has caused this community so much heart ache and pain that we as human beings need to step in and try to stop another child from making a choice that can never...

...Cisco Systems Uses Its Culture for Competitive Advantage Manny Rivelo, a senior vice president at Cisco Systems, belongs to more internal company teams than he can count on both hands. "I'm on a litany of them—three councils, maybe six boards, and five working groups," he says. They're part of an organizational web dreamed up by CEO John Chambers—a structure so complex that it takes 15 minutes and a whiteboard to fully explain. Chambers, however, uses just three words to describe the benefits of the San Jose networking giant's manage-ment system: "speed, skill, and flexibility." It seems paradoxical that a multilayered organi-zational model would actually speed things up. But Chambers, whose company landed on the World's Most Admired Companies list partly for its management prowess, says his system of boards and councils has in-deed made Cisco (CSCO, Fortune 500) more agile—and that it will help the company grow in the recession. Chambers' idea originated at the tail end of the 2001 downturn, after Cisco wrote off $2.2 billion in losses. He realized that the company's hierarchical structure pre-cluded it from moving quickly into new markets, so he began to group executives into cross-functional teams. Chambers figured that putting together managers in sales and leaders in engineering, say, would break down traditional silos and lead to faster decision making. Not all Cisco executives felt the same way. "It took seven years, and the first three years were bumpy,"...

... we only had eight members show up. Was I missing something? Why weren’t students engaged enough to stay? After our annual end of the year party, I ran for vice president, and won. Although the victory may have seemed small due to our lack of voters, it was my first step to making a great club. Then I met with our club advisor and asked if the board members and she could meet once over the summer to plan for the new year to come, she agreed that it was a marvelous idea. That summer we came up with a game plan to lure students to come to the first meeting of the year. We made posters, handed out little fliers to students as they walked pass, and I even made an announcement during lunch in hopes of getting some student’s attention. Finally, the day of the first club meeting had come the moment I saw over seventy five students begin to barge into the presentation room of Salem High School, I knew that I had achieved something great. From the first meeting on, members had begun to show up regularly. I was in charge of coming up with the agenda and running the meetings so coming up with new material to keep the members engaged was stressful, but most definitely worth it....

Cover Page Inside Flap Chapter 1 "Normal humans don't interest me." Chapter 2 Haruhi gets Mikuru into a bunny outfit. Chapter 7 "Hey Kyon, what's that giant?" Prologue Flap The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Prologue Prologue When did I stop believing in Santa Claus? In truth, this sort of silly question holds no real significance for me. However, if you were to ask me when I stopped believing that the old man wearing the red costume was Santa, then I can confidently say: I have never believed in Santa, ever. I knew that the Santa who appeared at my preschool Christmas party was a fraud, and now that I think about it, every one of my classmates shared the same look of disbelief watching our teacher pretend to be Santa. Although I had never seen mommy kissing Santa Claus, I was already wise enough to be suspicious about the existence of an old man who worked only on Christmas Eve. However, it took me quite a bit longer to realize that the aliens, time-travelers, ghosts, monsters and espers in those effects-filled 'good guys versus evil organization' cartoons didn't actually exist either. No, wait, I probably did realize, I just didn't want to admit it. Deep inside my heart I still wanted those aliens, time-travelers, ghosts, monsters, espers and evil organizations to suddenly appear. Compared to this boring, normal...

The zip code community of 53218 is no exception. Some of those positive features of the 53218 community has prospective features such as its existing available clinics, multipurpose community centers, such as the Silver Spring Community Center, and numerous outreach programs through organizations including Growing Power and the Milwaukee Outreach Center. Unfortunately, it is still considered one of ten zip codes in the Milwaukee County designated in the “lower socioeconomic status” group as reported in the Milwaukee Health Report (Chen, et al., 2011). The lower SES group, including 53218, as a whole is at risk for (1) a growing rate of obesity related to a poor nutritional lifestyle, (2) a continually decreasing gynecological health among the female population between ages 12 and 19 related to a lack of enforced education and rising teen pregnancy-related issues, and (3) a consistently low level of neighborhood safety related to motor vehicle accidents and rising crime rates. Community Strengths The community of 53218 has three main areas of strength: (1) several available clinics, (2) an abundance...

...way the United States prepares students for life after high school is long overdue. The U.S. education system currently fails to prepare many young Americans to lead successful adult lives because our preparation strategy is narrow, focused on readying students to attend four-year colleges and universities. As a result, many youth leave high school no more fit to succeed in college than to thrive in the world of work. Even though high school schedules lack job related courses, vocational school prepares you more for the workforce than conventional high school because the curriculums are hands on based and vocational education combines theory and realistic approaches. There is a need for more effective approach that supports the American system. We must offer young people in high school and beyond multiple pathways to success, instead of putting so much emphasis on attending a four-year college. Engaging employers into crucial work of preparing young people for success, such as providing career counseling and offering opportunities for work-based learning and actual employment and create a new social compact with youth, in which key stakeholders in a state or region educators, employers, and government officials -- pledge to collaboratively improve pathways for those who are now being left behind. The structure and demographics of today’s high schools states that forty percent of white students attend high schools that is 90 percent or more white, while roughly...

...Teenage pregnancy is a major issue that has become a problem in the United States. The teenage birth rate in the United States rose 3 percent in 2006, the first increase since 1991, fueling a debate whether the Bush administration’s abstinence only sexual education efforts are working. However they teach teenagers from middle school all the way up to high school to practice abstinence, but it seems as if it’s not working. In a female under the age of 20 when the pregnancy ends, pregnancy can take place weeks before your first menstrual period. In a healthy young teenage girls body a menstrual can take place around the age of 12 or 13. Teenage pregnancy rates are different in every country because the levels of sexual activity. Over the world teenage pregnancy range from 143 percent 1000 in some sub-Saharan African countries to 2.9 percent 1000 in South Korea. Pregnant teenagers go through the same issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However mothers 14 and 19 faces low births weight and itself is also connected with the teenage mother’s age. Teenage pregnancy has been a problem for many decades and it originally started in the 60s. However back in those days you had to married before having your first child. At least I think that’s how is should’ve been and it should still be that way now days. It affects the community because most teenage parents would depend on financial support. The family would have to help you take care of the baby while you finish school, and you wouldn’t...

...Class Size and the Effect on Student Performance La Tonya Flemings Alexander University of Phoenix Abstract There are many factors that have an influence on the educational process and effect student performance in the public school system. One factor of specific concern is the student-to-teacher ratio in the classroom. The premise is that teachers can coax each of the students, have one-on-one time, and easily identify student strengths and weaknesses. The increase of the population in the United States, the number of teachers, and effects of inclusive learning play a role in the number of students assigned to each classroom for instruction. Population increase has a negative effect on the public school system in every state across the United States. Budget cuts and teacher layoffs affect the ability of the administration to expand for the allowance of smaller class sizes. The goal of inclusive education is for students of different levels with disabilities to become an integral part of their perspective learning environment, but with an increase in the population, budget cuts, and teacher layoffs, the class sizes become larger degrading the educational process, and student performance suffers.

One factor of specific concern is the student-to-teacher ratio in the classroom. The premise...

...Abstract Objectives. We estimate the impact of a variety of health conditions on test scores for children and adolescents. Methods. Our estimates are obtained using ordinary least squares and quantile regression together with data from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. This estimation approach helps us understand whether student health conditions matter on average, and also for whom they matter most. Results. Several health conditions, which are observable by school health officials, are highly negatively correlated with math and reading test scores. The findings control for detailed information on students’ home environments. Conclusions. Given the current education policy environment where schools are shifting resources to conform to state and federal requirements on test scores and other outcomes, these results suggest caution in cutting resources from the traditional role of schools in monitoring a wide set of health outcomes. 3 Introduction Children who experience poor health have significantly poorer adult outcomes, such as lower educational attainment, adverse health conditions, and lower social status (Case et al., 2002; Case et al., 2005). A particularly potent conduit through which childhood health is linked to adult outcomes is education. Poor health impedes educational progress because a student with health problems is not prepared to fully engage in or take advantage of learning opportunities at school or...

...Career education encompasses the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes through a planned programme of learning experiences in education and training settings that will assist students to make informed decisions about their study and or work options and enable them to participate effectively in working life. Career education should be intentional, developmental, comprehensive, and available to all students . According to Watts and Vanesbroeck (1998 ) ,career education plays a key role in helping labour markets work and education systems meet their goals. It also promotes equity: recent evidence suggests that social mobility relies on wider acquisition not just of knowledge and skills, but of an understanding about how to use them. In this context, the mission of career guidance is widening, to become part of lifelong learning. Already, services are starting to adapt, departing from a traditional model of a psychology-led occupation interviewing students about to leave school. According to Herr and Cramer (1982) Career guidance in general, is a systematic program of processes, techniques, or services designed to assist an individual to understand and to act on self-knowledge and knowledge of opportunities in work, education, and leisure and to develop the decision making skills by which one can create and manage one's career development. Such services may be found in schools, universities, and colleges, in training institutions, in public employment services, in the...

...Last school holiday, my family and I went back to our hometown, the eagerly-awaited holidays bring a respite from homework, lessons, extracurricular activities and exams. For me, spending a holiday at home is equally unbearable. 0n the last day of school, I eagerly waited for the bell to ring at 1:10 p.m.. Then, I felt like a caged bird hat has just been set free. I slang my bag over my shoulder and make a beeline for the bust station. My hometown! We started our journey early in the morning. When we arrived, we had a quick lunch. I make a short exchange and headed for my favourite spot here- a secluded corner of my grandfather durian orchards. There under a shady spot, I sat down a surveyed the surroundings. Here, far away from claustrophobic classrooms, rushing crowds, busy sidewalks and congested streets, I enjoyed the solitude of nature. As I took my seat on a flimsy woody bench, and looked around me, I can see a flurry of activities. Birds flew gracefully and noiselessly above me while bees traveled flirtatiously from tree to tree, colourful butterflies flit about here and there flapping their fragile wings and ants scurry in a single file carrying bits of food on their tiny backs. A soft cool breeze blowed. I can hear the soft rustle of leaves. The air is heavy with the scent of shrubs and grasses coupled with the scent of ripe durians. I lied on my back with my hand clasped behind my head and watched streaks of...
