...Running head: UNWRAPPING ISLLC STANDARD NUMBER Unwrapping ISLLC Standard Number 1 Myka N. Walker Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 January 11, 2012 The initial collaborative learning community assignment was the unwrapping of ISLLC standard number one. A multiplicity of issues was anticipated in the beginning as this was a group assignment. Typically, group assignments can be challenging due to the varying opinions of the group’s membership. In reality, only two problems arose during the unwrapping process. The first problem surfaced in the beginning of the week. Several members of the group were unsure of how to complete the assignment. A discussion took place and each member contributed thoughts about what the assignment required and how it should be completed. The second problem was the division of work. Each of the ISLLC standards consists of four facets: knowledge, skills, enduring understandings and essential questions. There are five members in the yellow group. One group member quickly assumed the leadership role and created a rotating schedule. The schedule allows each person to tackle a different facet of the standards each week. The schedule also allows each person to compile the assignments and submit them. This was a very equitable way to split the work and all group members agreed to follow the schedule. The unwrapping of the ISLLC standards is a valuable process for any future principal. If the standards are going to be tool...

...Unwrapping and Reflecting on the ISLLC Standard 1-6 J. Acedo Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 Education Administration Foundation and Framework January 28, 2014 The Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards were developed to help guide administrators and future administrators in refining and intensifying their leadership skills. The six outlined standards give administrators a roadmap to help them on the journey to a successful school environment, for all stakeholders involved. Not only do these standards provide guidance for administrators, but the ISLLC standards also “provide guidance to state policymakers as they work to improve education leadership preparation, licensure, evaluation, and professional development” (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2008, p.1). The ISLLC standards address the school vision of learning, the school’s culture and professional growth, a safe, effective and efficient learning environment, collaboration with stakeholders, acting in an ethical manner, and the political, economic, and legal aspect (Council, 2008). The overall purpose of the standards is to set common expectations, maximize student achievement results, and to improve continuing professional development. We have set standards for our students that measure their proficiency in various core subjects, and the level of learning that they are achieving. Because the weight of student achievement, the ISLLC standards give school communities and...

...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...

...The world trade organization is an organization can be looked at in a number of ways; firstly the WTO is an organization for trade opening; a forum where governments discuss trade agreements; and as platform for solving trade disputes. Further on, the WTO functions as a system of trade rules and as a place where member states sort out their trade issues among themselves. This organization was founded out of negotiations and its modus operandi is that of negotiation. Today, most of WTO’s current operations stem from the Uruguay Round as well as other negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). It is currently hosting the new negotiations that were birthed from the “Doha Development Agenda” of 2001 (Wto.org,. 2014). Where states have been confronted with trade barriers and want them lowered, deliberations at the WTO have facilitated opening of markets for trade. In conjunction, the WTO is not only about opening of new markets, it also supports maintenance of trade barriers- for instance where consumer rights are threatened or to prevent harm to the consumers. At the core of WTO are the agreements that have been negotiated and sealed by the majority of the world’s trading states. These agreements present the legal guidelines for international trade. They are in essence contracts that bind governments to maintain their trading rules within the set limits (Wto.org,. 2014).. While they are signed and negotiated by states, the aim remains to help the providers...

This globalization has led to the collaboration among manufacturers of products, suppliers of materials and service providers situated across the globe. The markets are no more restricted to a specific region or a country. The boundaries and distances between the markets have vanished. Saturation in developed markets has led to exploration and exploitation of emerging markets. The expansion of geographic footprint is not happening only to meet business needs, but this is happening also to promote social causes (Education, Health Awareness) and to mitigate global risks (Global Warming). Therefore, for the purpose of effective functioning, there is a strong need to learn about Cross-Cultural Communication. It is true that any usage of an inappropriate word, an impression or a gesture can lead to serious business or social implications. These cross-cultural communication...
