Throughout the past assignments, you have been building components of planning within the Unit Plan Assignments. You began your ideas in your Unit Plan:Foundation Assignment. In the Unit Plan:Alignment Assignment, you created three objectives and assessments off of the SOL chosen in the Unit Plan:Foundation Assignment. You then took one of the objectives and assessments and built a detailed lesson plan and then developed a plan to differentiate that lesson. In this Unit Plan: Module Assignment, you are taking those earlier ideas and now building an entire module, or weeks’ worth, of lessons, for the subject and state standard you have been working with. You will include sample assessments/evaluations to support each day’s lesson.
Instructions
The candidate will complete the Unit Plan: Module Template. Within the template, complete each section. You will create a class description and make sure to include a student with ESL and a student with a disability. This information should correlate with your class description in your Unit Plan: Lesson Plan Assignment. Create a week’s worth of block lesson plans for your chosen SOL as described in earlier assignments. Include a sample assessment/evaluation for each of the 5 days of instruction in your block plans. Utilize the Unit Plan: Module Grading Rubric as well as the Unit Plan: Module Sample provided to guide you.
You are the new leader of Millwood Middle School. You have only been in the position for one month, however you feel you have a firm grasp on the duties and the operational challenges of the school. As the new school leader you have many challenges that you are responsible for including the supervision of your staff. One of the staff members in particular is Mrs. Pine who has been Millwood Middle school secretary for more than 20 years. Mrs. Pine knows everyone in the school and the community and she tends to take matters into her own hands when making decisions at the school. The majority of her decisions are without your knowledge.
Today you received in the mail a certified letter from a very upset parent, Mr. Bridges who had requested all of his son’s records more than three months ago. The records he requested were to include educational, medical, attendance, and behavior. The letter was very clear in the respect that he made the request per the policy of the school board. The request was in writing and that he even called the school to follow up on the request several times. Mr. Bridges’ letter indicated that he was very concerned with his son’s attendance and health, he went on to say how disappointed he was in the school for not allowing him to receive a copy of the records requested. Mr. Bridges wanted to let you know that he was contacting an attorney and was going to file a lawsuit against you and the school district.
As the leader of the school you were honestly caught off guard with this letter due to the fact that this is the first you have heard about this request. You immediately asked Mrs. Pine if she knew about the request and she, without hesitation, said yes, of course I know about it. Mrs. Pine explained that she had received the request a few months back and decided not to provide the records to Mr. Bridges because she called Mr. Bridges ex-wife and she explained that she had total custody of her son and not to give her ex-husband anything. Mrs. Bridges assured Mrs. Pine that she had court order barring Mr. Bridges from any contact with his son and he did not have any permission to get any records from the school.
You then asked Mr. Pine a few other questions and you found out that Mr. Bridges son’s attendance was in fact irregular and that he often goes to the school nurse. Mrs. Pine said that she had personally reviewed the son’s records and it was shown in the nurse report that there were visible bruises on his arms and legs from time to time. Mrs. Pine told you that she handled this request because she knew the background and did not want to bother you.
As the school leader it is your responsibility to investigate this matter. As you consider the next steps please respond to the following questions:
How does this scenario apply to a student’s right to privacy? What responsibility does the school district have to provide student records to non-custodial parents? Who, within the school district has the right to review school records? Are there any timelines for responding to a legitimate request for student records? What are certain procedures that a school leader should have in place regarding student record requests? Does the school have any legal liability in this situation? What rights does the custodial parent have in denying the non-custodial parent’s request to view student records? What actions if any, would you take with Mrs. Pine and why?
Discussion 5 Discipline and Students
Directions
Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow.
James is a 9th grade student at Alma High School, which is a small rural school in the south. In 6th grade James was diagnosed as learning disabled and he was referred to as a potential special education student by his reading teacher. James has also been treated medically since the 4th grade for attention deficit disorder.
James had a Unit Science test in 5th period which he was not prepared for and he knew he was not going to pass. By not passing the test this would drop his overall grade and this would not allow him to remain on the football team. James talked to a few of his friends and they came up with a plan to get them out of the test as they all knew they would fail. They decided that if they called in a bomb threat that they would not have to take the test today, and they would have a few extra days to study. James took out his cell phone and called in the threat to the local police. As a result of the call, school was dismissed for the day and authorities came to the school for further investigation.
Another student, Elizabeth, who had seen James and his friends making the call about the threat decided to come to you as the Principal and tell you what she saw and heard. You were able to question James and his friends about the incident and they all admitted to what they did. For consistency purposes and per the handbook, you immediately suspended all of the students for 10 days pending and expulsion hearing as this was a very serious matter.
As the School Leader, you understand that your district has a zero tolerance policy for those involved in making a threat of this magnitude. Expulsion from school is required. While you were reading each student’s file, you notice that James has ADD and he is receiving services from your special education staff. No one else involved in the incident was identified as having any disabilities.
How does the discovery of James disabilities impact the decision to suspend the students for 10 days, pending a school hearing? How does James being classified as a Special Education student change the discipline process for him compared to his friends? Should the Discipline for each student involved be different? If so, how? Can zero tolerance policies be applied to special education students? What case and law should you refer to when considering discipline for James? Is there grounds to refer all the students to the local prosecutor for criminal action? What problems do you see with the parents of the students
Examining the history of student affairs, there has been a shift within the profession from in loco parentis (in place of the parents) to student services towards student development and finally to student learning. Question: In your opinion has the student affairs profession truly shifted away from all of these philosophies towards a singular philosophical approach or is it a blended philosophical approach?
Enrollment management is a critical component on any college campus. From the first point of contact with potential students to bringing in the freshman class, the enrollment process highly influences the overall student experience. Question: What role should the academic enterprise play in the enrollment process on a college campus? Please provide 1 recent article (2009-Present) that supports your argument
In your opinion, whose (what area of the university) responsibility is academic advising? Furthermore, the book gave reference to several different models-peer to peer, decentralized, centralized, faculty lead, etc.. If you have been tasked with creating an academic advising program at either the institution that you currently work at or at the institution that you were formally a student, what would it be? Please provide evidence with at least 1 recent article (2009-Present) to support your article
Building the community for your classroom and your students will give you the opportunity to engage your students and their families. Communicating your procedures, routines, and expectations creates transparency with all stakeholders.

A description of your overall classroom management philosophy aligned to personal beliefs you hold that support it.
An overview of how you will manage your learning environment in order to engage students.
How you will collaborate with students, families, and colleagues to build a safe, positive learning climate of openness, mutual respect, support, and inquiry.
How you will take a leadership role advocating for meeting the needs of students, and enacting system change.
Write a one-page letter to send to families at the beginning of the school year introducing yourself and explaining your classroom management plan and how you will maintain ongoing communication with students and families to build positive school-home relationships.
In 250 words, describe how you will actively and equitably engage students by establishing procedures, routines, and expectations. Include 4-5 specific procedures, routines, or expectations you will implement in the classroom. (These procedures or routines may be revised from previous assignments, or they may be new.)

1. Discrete Random Variables. Suppose that we are interested in the number of cups of coffee drank by a (randomly selected) student at UCLA. This quantity can be represented as a random variable Y with probability mass function:
if a ∈ {0,1,2}
if a = 3
if a = 4 ,
if a = 5 0 otherwise
where c is an unknown constant.
(a) Explain why the number of cups of coffee drank in a day by a randomly selected student at UCLA is a random variable.
(b) What is the relevant outcome space of the random variable Y ?
(c) Explain what the distribution of this random variable represents. In other words distribution of Y assigns a probability to any subset of the outcome space. How do we interpret this probability? (d) Solve for c. (Hint: Recall that PY (OY ) = 1 so that Pa∈OY pY (a) must equal one).
(e) What is the probability that a randomly selected student at UCLA drinks at least 3 cups of coffee a day, PY (Y ≥ 3)?
(f) What is the expected number of cups of coffee drank per day for a randomly selected student at UCLA?
