FCCLA has a big positive effect on people that join.For the education part fccla offers many scholarships. By being recognized for outstanding leadership, academic excellence and even many hours of community service to show that you have a flexible schedule and that you really care about your community. It's hard to get a scholarship if you don't have any leadership skills because there is 160,000 members nationwide including puerto rico and the virgin island and about 5,400 schools, If you try hard enough to you could get the scholarship by being a leader and getting involved in your community. Without FCCLA we wouldn't have students know the fundamentals of leadership. Some small schools do not have an organization that provides leadership and personal growth, some schools may not have enough money to provide this luxury. Some schools do not have enough people to start a chapter because the students doesn't think that FCCLA is important in the world. We could fix this problem by recruiting middle schoolers and freshman by doing more community events in your community to get them to see how much it is really about and how it isn't strict and not very
Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,
While this report card focuses on how the NCLB act affects all subgroups in education, it is important to look at one group in particular; the special education students. President Bush?s NCLB act is forcing special education students to perform on statewide assessments that are above their intelligence level and are often requiring them to pass the assessments in order to receive a high school diploma. This often causes teachers, such as Lindley Corcoran, a special education teacher at Sheppard Pratt private school for students with severe disabilities, to teach to the test rather than teach practical functional skills which she believes will be ...
Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) created a national curriculum that would be taught in every school in America. The No Child Left Behind Act plays an enormous role in the education system. It touches on a broad variety of issues relating to public education, including the dispersal of federal funds and parental choice in the case of failing schools and for the learning disabled.
Leadership has always been a key to my success in life. In today's business world, effective leadership at all levels is required. I use the same concepts in leading my family, as I do in my business and church. Leadership does make a difference. For example, my daughter is required to take a leadership class at the freshman level of high school. It is my desire that through this course I will be able to use the research findings about leadership to improve my own leadership style.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is bringing down the American education system for the sake of academic competition with other countries that use better methods. This country hasn’t changed its methods in decades. By addressing different aspects of the problem, it can be solved more efficiently and quickly. Three different aspects will be addressed here: what the American education system already does, what other countries are doing (as well as cultural differences), and what we should be doing. What we should be doing is a general combination of what other successful countries are doing, taking advice from experienced educators, and abolishing stressful, unnecessary practices.
The NCLB law expects that all students are the same with regards to their ability to comprehend information and their skills to take a test. They assume that students are able to be competent in areas such as math, science, and reading. However, not everyone is good at math and some children may be stronger in one area than the other. The “one size fits all” mindset does not fix the achievement gap, or support the historically disadvantaged. On the www.edweek.org website, last updated July 2011,...
The NCLB Act was signed by former President George Bush in 2002, which was created to improve student and achievement gaps. In the article, “No Child Left behind and the Transformation of Federal Education Policy”, Patrick J. McGuinn exclaimed, “No Child Left behind is an attempt by the federal government to regulate educational policy in the 50 states” (Patrick McGuinn,2007, p. 370). It is also designed to make sure that all students can achieve high standards from all states which include students with disabilities. Before the NCLB was passed, students with disabilities were excluded from school assessments. Now that this act was ...
To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.
I have had so many amazing experiences already in my first few weeks of college. Deciding to participate in the Emerging Leaders program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Without it, I would not have as many friends or opportunities as I do by being a member. Just this week, I became a member of DreamAKRON. I am extremely excited to begin the journey of mentoring a high school girl named Makayla!
Jeanette Hernandez Leadership 1010 Professor Moskwa April 4, 2016 Participative leadership As we may all know by now, leadership style plays a key role in the productivity and overall effectiveness of an organization. There are several different types of leadership styles and often times some leader’s pose more than just one style of leadership. Although there isn’t a leadership style known to be better than the other, it is important for you to determine what style of leader you are in order to use your qualities to the best of your abilities and succeed as a leader. After researching several types of leadership styles and completing different self-assessments, I came to the conclusion that the leadership style that best fits me is participatory leadership. Participative leaders are those who do not make decisions concerning the organization on their own, but rather as a group.
To inspire and influence others, a leader must have many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Jim Rohn, states, “ the challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.” (2010) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.
Leadership is trait that is extremely important in any society. Leadership is known as the way people attempting to make a difference in a situation. However, I believe that it is better said to be a way of influencing others actions. Leadership is usually connected to a great leader that affected his or her followers in a dynamic way. Throughout the semester for my leadership class, I have expanded the knowledge in numerous ways. I now have fully understanding of the purpose and process of leadership to a society. Being a leader one must maintain an image of being the role model. I believe that this is leader should be who is someone who has the ability to influence, encourage, listen, and nurture. They are able to inspire, stimulate, persuade, shape, and have an effect on others.
"A leader is an individual (or, rarely, a set of individuals) who significantly affects the thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors of a significant number of individuals” (Gardner, Howard 2012). An essential part of a leader lies in their ability to motivate and influence people to follow their lead. Leaders are both men and women who have the ability to influence others in a community, control situations, connect with others and persuade others to follow them or the goals they define. To be a good leader one must set a good example and make correct decisions for difficult choices. I myself am implementing leadership skills into my every day life. Leadership skills are all around us. They can be applied to any situation where one may be required to take the lead. This can be
Throughout life I have realized that there is always room for improvement in anything you do. Since leadership has been a large part of who I am and my life, I want to continue my leadership journey, making improvements and growing each and every day so I can impact the lives of others more efficiently. After I took and reviewed my Leadership Practice Inventory I found out really what kind of a leader I am, and what areas I need to improve in. In my report out of the five areas of modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act and encouraging from the heart my weakest areas were inspiring a shared vision and encouraging from the heart. I am the complete opposite of the rah, rah, pump people up kind
