Staff or the public may not be happy with the way funding is allocated and should work to communicate the methodology behind their choices. This should also align with district and state initiatives. ]]> 2019-08-30 19:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378777406 mshafer6 https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378827642 Maintaining a full and qualified staff is crucial to the success of students. Students are the most impacted by loss of staff, students fall behind, productivity is lost and struggle to regain their orientation. When schools do not have the resources to offer incentive funding or are forced to hire under qualified or in experienced staff one should focus on developing their skills as educators rather then firing staff. To improve their quality of teaching invest time by sitting in on their classes, asking them to shadow an experienced teacher during an off period and working towards identifying weak areas for them to improve on. Developing the current staff instead of disregarding them will aid in high turn over rates. ]]> 2019-08-31 02:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378827642 mshafer6 https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378830768
Lack of funding per student impacts the amount that staff are o ffered.Educator satisfaction directly impacts student success and outcomes. The issue comes when trying to manage budgets to ensure that there is either an incentive associated for the position or a living wage attached to it. ]]> 2019-08-31 03:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378830768 mshafer6 https://padlet.com/mshafer6/or7n4b6tvd88/wish/378991274 Per pupil spending impacts the performance and learning outcomes. Schools with students living with disabilities, language barriers and economic hardships are all examples of student population needs. These special populations need resources to support their educational pursuits whether it be additional support staff, technology or resources for standard living. Geographic specific economic issues are attributed to the cost of living, population density and taxes paid within the area.  Schools are funded by taxes within their region and allocations of funds vary bases on the area. Staffing also plays a role within student success because it impacts students learning. Employing underqualified teachers or inexperienced teachers impacts the quality of education they are receiving. School districts that have a combination of special population students and low geographic specific economic areas typically are the ones who have the most underqualified/ inexperienced teachers.

Educators are on the front line and know what areas students are lacking in and what factors play a role within their ability to learn. Using the expertise to analyze best approaches and provide them the resources they need to help students learn is important.
