Final Project feedback padlet! (B BLOCK) by Alexander Goldberg https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l Please use this padlet as a work space to give us a brief write up of what you have so far for the final project! Note: it's expected that your project will not be 100% complete at this point, this is just a space to get your ideas out in a way that your peers can evaluate and give you feedback on. We will break out into pairs after this and you will get a chance to engage in more substantive feedback work with a partner! en-us 2021-04-20 14:49:30 UTC 2021-04-23 17:50:42 UTC hello@padlet.com ayla awellnitz20211_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438284328 I am designing a charter school for students who are academically behind. The goal of the school is to create an environment where students can get a little extra boost. Approximately 12% of students never graduate from high school. These students are statistically more likely to go to jail, or to live under the poverty line. The purpose of this school is to make it so that everyone has the chance to get a high school diploma, no matter what challenges they are facing. The small class environment and personalized education make it so that students can specifically focus on their academic weaknesses in order to catch up. The school curriculum also allows for time learning life skills and addresses reasons why students might be behind such as mental health struggles, learning disabilities, or lack of skills such as time management.

The goal is to create an environment in which prisoners what to grow and improve. To ensure this prisoners will have to apply to apply the the prison (through a lottery style application process). Prisoners will be split into two categories: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 prisoners are the newly recruited prisoners, while Level 2 prisoners have been deemed mentally capable to assume the freedom and responsibility given by the prison.]]> 2021-04-20 14:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438290257 Alyssa's Project aorlov20221_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438306347 I focused on schools during pandemics because that is something that happens recently. As well, I focus and bring light to problems along with solutions that schools faces during the current COVID 19 pandemic. The goal is to create a fail safe for schools if there is a time where schools have to abruptly go into lockdown or have to adapt to a pandemic. A process that can be implemented before a pandemic so that schools do not have to go through a chaotic process like they did in the past couple of years. ]]> 2021-04-20 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438306347 Emi elundberg2021_2 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438308057 I'm designing a private school without grades. My goal is to create an environment where students can fully focus on the content of the class instead of just doing the work to get an A. Instead, students will be evaluated at the end of each trimester at a public "exhibitions" where students will showcase their work to the public. They'll also receive detailed report cards for each subject where they will receive a Beginning, Developing, Meets, or Exceeds in 8-14 categories (examples of these categories would be mastery of content, participation in class, ability to work through challenges, etc). The school would also be very small with an emphasis on community. Students would be required to participate in a multi-grade Advisory and a Committee. These Committees range in topic (Environmental Action, Social Justice, etc.) but all have the same theme- to improve their community. ]]> 2021-04-20 15:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438308057 Ian ihaut20211_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438309243 I'm designing a medium/large maximum security federal prison. The prison splits prisoners' time equally between education and paid work experience, and most services within the prison like food prep, low-level management, and management of the facilities are done by the prisoners. Some services, like a restaurant, are open to the public. Prisoners start in entry-level jobs and whatever education level they're at, but are quickly given agency to pursue degrees they want or apply for different jobs within the prison. Prisoners are provided with healthcare, counseling, and teaching services, most of which is done by other inmates. If a prisoner adequately engages with the community for the length of their stay and are no longer dangerous, they can have their criminal record cleared.]]> 2021-04-20 15:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438309243 Ash apressman20221_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438311696 I am designing a school for recently released juvenile offenders in the US. It would be a charter school that only has a small number of students (30 ish) and would have resources to food, therapy and mental health needs, medical care, and academic help as well as being a school. The main purpose would be to try to help these youth with getting their high school diplomas and continue either into the work force or to high education. Education reduces recidivism rates as well as offers greater access to certain opportunities. Juvenile offenders usually don't earn their high school diploma or GED and end up back in the system. This school is to try to start to change that and address the specific needs of a minor formally incarcerated. ]]> 2021-04-20 15:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438311696 Devin ddonofrioralls20221_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438312328 I'm designing a reformed private high school that meets the needs and preferences of every student. I'm implementing aspects of the Choice Experiment from the 80s, I'm boosting the guidance counseling program that is currently in most schools, and for kids with disabilities my school will use an IEP (Individualized Education Program). This purpose of this school is for students to really feel safe, to feel more equal, and to be ultimately happy about their school experience]]> 2021-04-20 15:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438312328 Iris ilu20211_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438312494 I'm designing a prison that houses offenders who struggle with drug addiction and abuse.

Has more projects instead of tests and essays. Always prepared to help students no matter their situation. Mod system and later starts in the day for ideal learning environment and the most helpful for students. School where students feel safe instead of treated like potential criminals. And one where the teacher student relationship is strong, teachers aren't like an authority towering over students. Teachers are there to help kids learn. The school favors the students and does what it can to help them.]]> 2021-04-20 15:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438313963 Blair — Appalachia Free School https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438315338 - Small private school ← free from government influence
- free/minimal tuition, funded by small-donors (national organizing to raise money)
- Philosophical core: for students to become active participants in their own education and in their communities
- Focus on students exercising their agency → own clothes, vote on school decisions, choose their classes, voluntary attendance
- Ensuring that students value themselves and understand that they can be real agents of social change
- Equal relationship with teachers based on mutual respect
- Chairs in a circle in classrooms to ensure that the classroom layout does not serve to position the teacher as an authority figure
- School to serve low-income students in rural Appalachia

The staff will also be POC majority Black and Brown ex-convitcs who have been rehabilitated. The emphasis isn’t to segregate but to create a safer environment where the youth who are currently at the program can have closer and more personal relationships with the staff who have been in the same exact shoes. The emphasis will be to rehabilitate and not punish.

The goal is to have a place where students can learn, collaborate, challenge each other, etc, but it should also be a place where, if a kid is not getting proper care from their parents at home, they can come to the school for hygiene/meals.

My school will use federal education grants. It focuses on mental health and the importance of mental health  in underserved communities. Afterschool is mainly where programming takes place. Free counseling is available to students and their families. Students can get academic support, participate in sports and clubs. The school also provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner as many kids living in low income areas don’t have access to food let alone healthy food.

In the words, rather than teachers lecturing all the time, my school will ask teachers to be collaborators, companions, and listeners to students' thoughts, and possibly encourage students to educate teachers on one aspect of interest once per week. In terms of more concrete reform that our school adopts, we will focus on enhancing the dining experience of students, ensuring them to have a healthy, well-balanced diet (i.e., fresh salad bar, absence of overly salty foods). (Note: a healthy diet does not intrinsically associate itself with more expenses, which can raise the tuition) In addition to the enhanced food quality, my school deeply recognizes the significance of snack breaks. Therefore, we open the dining hall all day long, with hot meal, ensuring students will not get hungry or low-blood-sugar-related-syndrome due to the absence of access to foods.]]> 2021-04-20 15:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1438353869 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446946968 2021-04-22 12:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446946968 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446951658 2021-04-22 12:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446951658 asa20221_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446961967 2021-04-22 12:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446961967 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446992998 2021-04-22 13:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1446992998 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447037783 2021-04-22 13:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447037783 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447082736 2021-04-22 13:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447082736 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447136603 2021-04-22 13:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447136603 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447166902 2021-04-22 13:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447166902 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447237723 2021-04-22 13:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447237723 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447285933 2021-04-22 13:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447285933 Austin asa20221_1 https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447304055 Looking in real life at the Boston Public School system, I am designing a school that will take advantage of key aspects across the spectrum there is in different school environments to create a more flexible, progressive, and improved overall environment through updating the schools physical infrastructure reimagining the school day, and putting a focus on the children’s mental health as much as their test scores for MCAS at the end of each year.]]> 2021-04-22 13:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/agoldberg65/9zvv9td6hy0c8m4l/wish/1447304055
