How Might Schools In The United States Be Reinvented To Better Serve Students?

How Might Schools In The United States Be Reinvented To Better Serve Students?

# data[].attributes.body
The reinvention of schools in The United States is a crucial stepping stone towards educational progression. There are a few factors that can be incorporated in order for students to be better served and this only becomes possible with the right resources. Educators should be compensated more for molding these children from various home lives and cultures, as well as creating curriculums to accommodate the differences that may be faced by these students. By increasing the salaries of these teachers, they will be enabled and perhaps compelled to be more innovative in the ways in which they teach, impact and inspire students. This increase in funding for education can rebuild the passion a student may have lost for learning due to outside influences or experiences. This can also go towards better supplies and sources for these students, giving them a better chance at success.

Teamwork is the key!

Schools are effective when students are active participants in learning. Leadership starts in the school environment. The school is part of the collaborative environment of the community, administration, educators, and students. Current social attitudes about the educational system is for the most part, negative as society feels that the current issues are not being address effectively.

Schools can be reinvented starting with a focus on entrepreneurship. This reinvention will be a student-centered program with the goal of creating an entrepreneur mindset in students so that they will be ready to participate in a globalized society.

Research has shown that this focus also influences all involved because of personal accountability, creating positive vision for the future, change of societal perspectives leading to the ability to be active in a globalized society as well. Again, these changes will start in the school environment.

Teacher leaders will be main group of individuals who will be working with students for these changes to happen. They shape the foundation for whether students will be adequately prepared for life in the real world. Without collaboration from the community, administrators and parents, this reform will fail.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can ensure that they are adequately preparing students to be globalized citizens by:

1. Using curriculum and tailoring lessons to real life experiences.

2. Allowing students to use the information learned to create new information. This allows them to become creators of knowledge rather than just consumers of it.

3. According to O’Keefe (2011), “Share your dreams for enhanced community-school partnerships, ask people what matters to them, ask them how they might help, and show them your passion. Deliver them an open invitation to reconnect, collaborate and share their experience, skills and time to make a difference.”

4. Community involvement is an important piece of the puzzle in promoting globalization along with teachers, administrators, and students.

Producing  Entrepreneurs Through Reinvention

Producing  Entrepreneurs Through Reinvention

# data[].attributes.body
In entrepreneurship education research, most would agree that there are three types of courses: about, for and through (Gibb, 1987; Pittaway and Edwards, 2012).

“About” courses typically teach theories about entrepreneurship.

“For” involve providing tools for coping with concrete tasks of entrepreneurship.

“Through” courses move the students through a process of enterprising behavior and make the students do some of the actions of an entrepreneur by starting a business (fictive or real).

Of these only the “about” matches with the traditional educational practice. The “through” type that has the most potential to produce entrepreneurs, because they get students to mimic and simulate what entrepreneurs do (Robinson, Neergaard, Tanggaard, Krueger, 2016).

# data[].attributes.body
Given the present focus on entrepreneurship at the national level, the question becomes whether a continued implementation of traditional approaches to learning or to reinvent schools with the students in mind. Through the reinventing of schools, students will better develop the following:

1.   Entrepreneurial Awareness

2.   An Entrepreneurial Mindsets

3.   Entrepreneurial Skills and Competences.

                     Social Entrepreneurial Attitude

# data[].attributes.body
Having a social entrepreneurial attitude is one of the skills and qualities that characterized an effective leadership among others (Marshal, 2014 ). According to an article titled Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Behaviors That Can Help Prepare Successful, entrepreneurship has several definitions by which educating leaders can take advantage of. (Borasi & Finnigan, 2010) By having a social entrepreneurial attitude, leaders have a social mission to reduce disadvantage, deprivation and social exclusion in their schools. Entrepreneurial attitude requires leaders to have certain characteristics and behaviors such as:

1. Transforming ideas into enterprises that generate economic, intellectual, and social value

2. Pursuing and carrying out innovations

3. Perceiving an opportunity and creating an organization to pursue it

4. Pursuing an opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled

5. Specializing in taking judgmental decisions about the coordination of scarce resources
6. Being able to evaluate and minimize risk within an organization

Attitude drives a person to a certain action but it also gives the action that should be directed.

Today's social attitude is mixed with critical problems that are created by human behavior. This behavior is caused by the attitudes of our people.

Attitudes that our school systems are broken.

School reform isn't working

Students are matching up to similar students in other countries.

We need to look outside our boarders for answers.

"We have to rethink not only with whom we work, but also how and where we work" (Harris & Jones, 2016, Chapter 10).

Educators that are currently working within schools feel the need to step up and look at other perspectives. We want to work along side different institutions and other colleagues from around the world. This might mean that those that have left the classroom will need to bring their expertise into the equation for school improvement. It also means that teachers that are hiding in their classrooms will need to come out and participate globally with other colleagues and that scares many of the traditional teachers. Until we do though we will continue to blindly fail our children.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools that view their students as active participants in the learning process.

Schools that have well structured learning practices but blend them with project based student directed practices.

Schools that co-operate with stakeholders and colleagues - This includes professional development opportunities.

A effective school is a school that can see past its building and works to build leadership. It places the principals and other stake holders at the forefront to school improvement. These active members within the school system will help encourage the leadership to happen.
The leadership will happen within the school beyond the school and will taking "responsibility for the education of all children rather than only those attending their own schools" (Harris & Jones, 2016, Chapter 10).
