Unit Number: 205 Schools as Organisations Worksheet 1: Different Types of School Characteristics of this type of school Assessment Criteria Primary (Infants & Junior): Secondary; Or three tier First school: Middle School: Upper School: Primary Schools generally cater for children aged from 4-11. Primary schools are often subdivided into Infant School for children aged 4-7 and Junior School for children aged 7-11. All state Primary Schools are obliged to follow a centralised National Curriculum. Each year is usually taught by one class teacher. Secondary School also known as High School is for children aged 11-18.
The Year-Round School Debate Year-round school (YRS) episodically surfaces as a subject of school reform. Interestingly enough this is not a new topic of debate; however, the reasons for implementing the reform have changed some. Year-round schools do not require the children to increase the number of days they attend school, the days are just dispersed more evenly throughout the year. As Hermansen (1971) states the concept of YRS has been around since at least 1840 when many major cities had school years ranging from forty-three to fifty weeks. These mostly industrialized cities had an enormous need for children to learn English.
The classroom I chose to observe is a kindergarten level class, initially with 18 students, but with 19 before the end of the school year. There are 10 girls and 9 boys, all seemingly from high or average socioeconomic status. There are no uniforms at Pinewoods Elementary, but there is a dress code to ensure the students dress appropriately. Every time I observed, it was during their morning announcements and learning centers, which were focused heavily on reading and writing. Physical Environment Observation: The classroom was organized in the shape of a rectangle with one of its corners cut off with enough room for 24 students.

This school (program) in an inclusive classroom that has placed students with disabilities in a normal classroom; “Majority of my disabled children have a hearing impairment, down’s syndrome, or a suspected form of autism, but these children are taught in a regular classroom, and have the capabilities to learn basic knowledge as any other “regular” child in this room!” as Mrs. Kamaski puts it. Mrs. Kamaski’s 3-year-old class, who is the head teacher Ms. Sutton, co teacher (seemed to mainly work with the disabled students) Tracie, aid Christopher Age 3 The child I chose to mainly observe is a 3-year-old boy named Christopher.

Sampson County and Clinton City provide very different programming and services. Clinton City Schools provides Nurturing services for students in grades K-2. Grades 3-8 are provided content replacement in both language arts and math. The high school plan is still under development and revision, but these students are provided Honors, Honors Advanced and AP classes.
This is the kind of mathematics that most parents and government officials recognize as the curricula that they attempted to learn when they were in school. It consists primarily of arithmetic or computation and it is about finding answers to questions such as “17 is what percent of 9,and so that it is all about “solving for x” and memorizing formulas. The question is what is constructivism and does it effect student in math courses? Constructivism inn math terms is intuition into the theory that mathematical entities do not exist independently of our construction of them . Basically its saying that math is expressed in a different way to children than how adults intake math information.
This is the type of community that most people occupy as adults. They generally have students with a range of abilities and disabilities. As with ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, the diversity introduces students to the communication issues. The number of students in a public school classroom provides opportunities that don’t exist in most homeschools, from large-scale projects to team sports. The number of students and funding allows public schools to have facilities (such as a soccer field or pool) and/or purchase equipment, such as laboratory equipment and technology that would be prohibitive for most homeschool families.
METHOD Subjects The subjects were 36 boys and 36 girls enrolled in the Stanford University Nursery' School. They ranged in age from 37 to 69 months, with a mean age of 52 months. Two adults, a male and a female, served in the role of model, and one female experimenter conducted the study for all 72 children. Experimental Design Subjects were divided into eight experimental groups of six subjects each and a control group consisting of 24 subjects. Half the experimental subjects were exposed to aggressive models and half were exposed to models that were subdued and nonaggressive in their behavior.
Typical public education consists of six hours of instruction. Most parents who spend time volunteering in their child’s classroom might disagree that the teachers spend the majority of their day gaining the control of his or her students. Public educated students follow blocked schedules on a daily basis providing them a sense of structure. The second difference and one of the most important to be considered when calculating the quality of home school
According to the Canadian BC curriculum for grade eight, students should know how to calculate the surface area of a prism; This is hard for us to believe because this is what we studied in grade three or even earlier. At the same age, we are working day and night in order to solve the functional relationships between two moving points on a complex graph. Again, most of students in the USA are at school at 8:00, and go home at 15:00. However, most of students in China are at school at 7:00, and go home at 18:00(at least). And I want to tell a truth about me, and maybe lots of students are like me.
