...School Profile EDA 575 Grand Canyon University January 15, 2014 Vision Statement Desertaire Elementary School is located in El Paso, Texas in the Ysleta Independent School District. Desertaire Elementary shares the same vision statement as the district. Students recite the vision statement every morning during morning announcements. All students who enroll in our schools will graduate from high school fluent in two or more languages, prepared and inspired to continue their education in a four-year college, university, or institution of higher education so that they become successful citizens in their community. The majority of this vision statement is true; the only part I do not think is factual is that students who graduate from our school are fluent in two or more languages. There are bilingual and monolingual classes at Desertaire Elementary, but students in bilingual classes are exited in 5th grade. Those are the students that are fluent in two or more languages. Community and School Demographics The student population for Ysleta Independent School District as a whole is 167,620. Desertaire Elementary has a student population of 927 students.

Its provisions include schools receiving Title I funds must evaluate students annually to demonstrate school’s progress to improving academics.

...Process Reflection for Module 2: Unwrapping ISLLC Standard 1 This week’s assignment was very interesting. I had not participated in an unwrapping activity since a workshop I attended in 2004. At the beginning of the exercise I was worried about being a part of an online team. I was especially wary of using the online group forum for coordinating the completion of the group project. I am, by nature, a worrier, but I should not have been stressed. The team quickly responded to my original message, we exchanged numbers, divided the assignment into manageable pieces, and one teammate volunteered to put the assignment together. At first, I was confused with the requirements, but after receiving guidance from the professor, I understood the expectations. Once the parameters of the assignment were agreed upon and set, everyone has met the established deadlines. I view this exercise as basic-training for when I am charged with larger projects as an administrator and I fully expect that the personality conflicts and obstacles to the effective completion of the assignments will be repeated in future projects. The leadership skills acquired as a part of the cooperative learning group will translate and be useful in my future role as an administrator. For the future, I need to trust the established protocols for completing scheduled tasks. Although I am quick to take on leadership responsibilities, I need to resist the urge to reinvent the wheel. I need to acknowledge...

Las Vegas is one of the most famous cities in the world and it is known for a great and crazy time. Las Vegas also has an enormous customer base. Las Vegas’s image is weak in the fact that it only appeals to some customers. The smaller audience it attracts and that there are almost no options for any other age group besides 21-50 year olds also weakens it. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand and make it’s business and experience even bigger because almost no one is competing with them. There is also an opportunity to improve hotels, casinos, resorts, and other main attraction buildings with all the new technology that comes out every year. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand their customer base and try to reach different and new demographics. The business also has an opportunity to try and make its large industry greener. They could find ways to save electricity and water at hotels and casinos and be sure that all public bathrooms in the city have automatic air hand dryers.
