Out Of Home Care Case Study

performance, and to help the government in training and supporting for foster carers as they play a significant role in the academic performance and
development of the children and young persons under their care.
Background The poor performance in educational outcomes for children in out–of–home care (OOHC) has been an internationally recognized concern

Stakeholder Analysis and Current Situation The Australian government is one of the key stakeholders and/orpolicy actors in the making of educational
policies for children in care and foster carers. Children in care are usually considered as being in the care of the state, where their safety and welfare
are protected by the government (Townsend, 2012). The NSW Government plan pointed out a shared approach to child wellbeing stating that each
preschool and school aged children and youth has their personal education plan within 30 days of entering OOHC, and the plan will be inspected and
reviewed annually by the Department of Education and the specific case worker (NSW Department of Education, 2017). The 30 days education plan
demonstrates the current intervention to provide youth with adequate education in response to OOHC placement. Current policy acknowledges the
need for foster parents/caretakers to work interdependently with social services (Townsend, 2012). It is important for policymakers to understand and

The Legislation Of Teacher Rotation Policy
Quality
An intensive debate over the quantitative or qualitative aspects in education has been sparked in policy planning. However, there is a new consensus
among policy makers that the achievement of quantity in education will ultimately rely on the quality of education available (UNESCO, 2004). The
importance of good quality is emphasised in the Dakar Framework for Action: Education for All (EFA). Goal 2 lists the provision of "compulsory
primary education of good quality" as a collective commitment, while Goal 6 commits nations to improve "all aspects of the quality of education and
ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life
skills" (UNESCO, 2000, p.15–17). The legislation of teacher rotation policy in China is a national campaign towards EFA goals with particular
attention to quality improvement in education.
Quality is positioned as a strategic objective in the national policy document. It is internationally recognised that teacher professionalism plays a
central role in education quality (Avalos & Barrett, 2011). Policy makers and researchers come to agree that among all theschool–based practitioners,
teachers have the greatest influence on student achievement (Santiago, 2002; Schacter & Thum, 2004). UNESCO (2004) also lists "processes
(competent teachers using active pedagogies)" as one of the indicators of good quality education (p.29). Analogously,

Policy Priority Issue : The Childhood Obesity Essay
Policy priority issue: The childhood obesity
Childhood obesity is one of the major public health challenges of the 21st century. The prevalence of obesity is increasing globally. In 2013, the
number of overweight children under the age of five was estimated over 42 million. Childhood obesity can cause premature death and disability in
adulthood. Overweight and obese children will grow up to become obese adults and are more likely to develop diseases like cardiovascular diseases
and diabetes at a younger age. Many factors can contribute overweight and obesity in children, however a global shift in dietary habits and lack of
physical activity play a crucial role. Overweight and obesity are preventable. Unlike adults, children cannot select the environment they live or the food
they eat, they are unware about the long term health consequences of their behavior. Therefore, it is important to have strict policies for the prevention
of obesity epidemic. School play an important role in fighting against the epidemic of childhood obesity (World Health Organization, 2016). Even after
the legislature has enacted laws to support school nutrition and physical education, many states including, Texas has not yet adopted these policies. It is

Introduction
Preparing teachers, principals and superintendents has been the responsibility of schools of education across the United States. Once they have
completed their preparation these educators must tackle the challenge of educating America's youth. Education is still a major factor in the social,
psychological, and financial development of one individual; it determines the difference between a life fully lived and a life only dreamed of while
opportunity passes by. The role of the superintendent today serves many roles; the main function of the position is leadership. The superintendent as
the top executive of a given school district, including a group of schools affiliated with the public school system. A direct connection exists between the
superintendent and the school board that he or she serves. A superintendent reports to the local school board, typically a group of elected officials set to
manage and organize the schools in that particular geographical area. The main responsibility of the superintendent is to make sure that the schools
under his or her jurisdiction stay within budgetary constraints and provide an effective learning community for all children within his or her district.

which is to bring about the desired goals. However, Ball (1990) defines educational policy as not only a direct response, but also a respond to the
formation of complex and diverse elements. Many policies begin at the macro level, with large organisations such as The World Bank, UNESCO and
the United Nations. The policy then streams down to a national level, which then filters further down into regional and local levels. Bell and

Throughout history, there have been many attempts to reform the education system in this country. All of these reforms have different policies, which a
different government brings in every time and it is elected into power. They bring their own political agendas to alter the education system. Despite all
the previous policies, there are some that have their advantages and disadvantages but the major shift happened in between 1980– 1990 (Ball, 1990).
Britain's education system became 'increasingly politicised' during this time. Ball (1990:3) describes this period as 'Thatcherism'. Margaret Thatcher's
Conservative government brought a lot of changes in the education system, including parents' choice in selecting schools for their children, the national
curriculum, national assessment and school self–sufficiency. The main reason for introducing the national curriculum was due to the failing teachers
and this lead to a 'failing country' (Trowler, 1993:100). Whitty (2016:27) describes Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government restructure as "a
marketising approach to the reform of the school system". Similaly, Machin (CEE DP 57) refers to this as being 'market mechanisms'. These reforms
were designed to improve pupil's achievement and the achievement rate did improve. However, this raised concerns about increased inequality in our
school systems. Different policies have different implications, as mentioned above. The Conservative government's policy between the years 1980 to
1990 had achieved its target, but its implications left a huge gap of inequality in our school system. Trowler (1993: 152) discusses the current century

to enable the country's educational system to meet the demands posed by national security needs. Of particular concern was bolstering the United

The criticism of the American education system, especially its public schools, increased immensely with the launching of Sputnik 1, the world's first
artificial satellite, by the Soviet Union in October 1957. Eisenhower, in his Message to Congress on January 27, 1958, called for aligning educational
programs with national defense needs and recommended the federal government play an important part in this activity. The NDEA was the result of
the enlarged federal role in education (britannica).
On the day Sputnik first orbited the earth, the chief clerk of the Senate's Education and Labor Committee, Stewart McClure, sent a memo to his
chairman, Alabama Democrat Lister Hill, reminding him that during the last three Congresses the Senate had passed legislation for federal funding of
education, but that all of those bills had died in the House. Perhaps if they re–designated the education bill to a defense bill, it might pass. Senator Hill,
a former Democratic whip and a savvy legislative tactician, seized upon on the idea, which led to the National Defense Education Act (Senate.gov).

achieve these three core functions in every task they take under. (Burt, 2005) Each level has certain responsibilities and roles that distinguish it from
the other two levels. However, one must keep in mind that even though the responsibilities may be divided, it is a collaborative effort of all three
levels that make the plans work and achieve optimum oral health status as a nation. (Salinsky, 2010) At the federal level, the responsibilities can be

Preventing behaviours associated with bullying is very important due to the detrimental effects it has on students learning, social and emotional

Foreign Policy Is A Historical Phenomenon
Foreign policy is a historical phenomenon, playing an integral role in international relations theory; it is defined as how a state should interact with
other states, as well as non–state agents, in order to achieve a goal. Foreign policy can be distinguished from general policy through three
preconditions: the ontic precondition, institutional precondition and finally, the public precondition. Walker's Inside/ Outside argues that in the period
from the fifteenth and seventeenth century, there emerged an ontic differentiation between the inside of thestate, which is dominated by the rule of law,
and the outside of the state, which is anarchic, with states competing for their national interests. This is followed by the institutional precondition, with
Richelieu's bureaucratisation of the French state in 1624 and the emergence of the public sphere in eighteenth century England and France. By the late
eighteenth century, Europe had established its first foreign ministries, with these spreading eastwards in the 1800s; as such, a divide between the
Westphalian state, the 'inside', and the separate realm of the 'outside' world was established. Finally, the public precondition necessitates a need for
secrecy, where the monarch sought to curb the power of civil society and the media by materialising the divide between foreign and domestic issues.
However, a contested aspect of foreign policy is how the decision–making process takes place, with realists arguing that foreign policy

In late 2012, a major policy document, Preliminary Report Malaysia Education BluePrint 2013–2025 [1] was launched which also marks the beginning
of education reform in Malaysia for quality education. Following this, the District Transformation Programme (DTP) policy was introduced to provide
supports for every school especially the sinking schools. Interventions are designed to cater the needs of individual schools. The DTP aims to improve
the students achievement by improving five elements of schoolings: students attendance, students discipline, teachers attendance, teachers quality and
school leadership. An emphasis is given to every District Office in the country to carry the responsibilities in supporting the schools. This is because of
their close proximity relations to the schools.
In the context of education planning, Malaysia is a highly centralized, top–down system in which the Education Planning and Research Division
(EPRD) serves as secretariat.[2,3]. This is followed by the Minister of Education, who chairs the Education Planning Committee and gives final
approval to every national education policy.[2]. Within this highly centralized education system, teachers in Malaysia, are experiencing greater
challenges due to demands from the stakeholders and their positions as the final receiver in the policy chain. Different layers of organizations in a

Entitlement And Provision For Early Years Education
Unit 4.
Assessment Criteria 4.1.1.
Summarise entitlement and provision for early years education.
There are many different entitlements and provisions established for early years education.
Nursery schools, pre schools, and playgroups all provide learning and play activities, family support, early intervention and childcare for all children
under the age of five years old.
Nursery schools are predominantly attached to a Surestart centre, which work with children and parents providing education for both, full day care
provision, parenting advice, and health and family support, or to a primary school. Where as pre schools and playgroups are normally privately owned
and operated, offering childcare, play and education activities.
Since 2004 all children in the UK aged 3 and 4 years old have been entitled to free places at nurseries and pre–school and even under the care of a
childminder for up to 12.5 hours per week, this provision was increased to 15 hours per week from 2010.Day nurseries also offer the same provisions
for early years education, but are usually run within a business, or by a voluntary group.
Free entitlement and provision provides universal access for all to early years education, play activities, and childcare, which are all extremely
beneficial to children and their short and long term educational, social, and behavioural development.

President Obama 's Semblance Of Education Reform Essay
Adversaries in the Race to the Top While many supported President Obama's semblance of education reform in Race to the Top, various factions were
vehemently against RTT and its implementation. Republicans primarily stand against federal involvement in state and local schools. The party
opposed RTT advanced Common Core State Standards, which promote a "one size fits all approach to education" (Spring, 2015, 63). Along with
political factions, those majorly impacted by RTT objected to its premise. The main teachers unions in the U.S., theNational Education Association as
well as the American Federation of Teachers, highlighted several points of disagreement in RTT which would lead to challenges in implementation. At
the time, the NEA said it cannot support RTT's endorsement of using test scores for evaluating teachers, increasing the number of charter schools, and
bolstering what the union calls "fast–track" alternative routes to teacher licensure (Sawchuk 2009). Additionally, the AFT expressed concerns about
RTT and how much the program helps students, whether it is fair to teachers, whether it is transparent to the public, and whether it requires shared
responsibility (Weingarten 2009). Along with teachers unions, members of academia spearheaded critiques of RTT. Joe Onosko's eight point manifesto
adequately details the concerns of educators at the time of implementation. The flaws of the plan (RTT) are as follows:

These could be community, voluntary–aided or controlled, or foundation special schools. Some special schools are independent. Specialist schools
State secondaries often specialise by placing an extra emphasis on one or two subjects. Schools can specialise in: the arts, maths and computing,
business and enterprise, music, engineering, science, humanities, sports, languages, and technology. Secondary schools must apply for specialist status
and receive additional government funding as a result. Different types of schools cater for children at different stages of their school life. Nursery
schools are stand–alone schools for children aged three and four. They have their own head teacher and staff. Some are state–funded and others are
privately run. Primary schools cater for children aged 4–11. While at primary school, children start with the Early Years (Foundation) curriculum,

Accordingly, all schools have a reading policy and there are many benefits of one being used. This involves teachers adopting a whole school
approach which can be utilised to support children in becoming independent learners in Literacy and aiding children to make progress in both Key
Stages. Kanolik and Turker (2011) suggest that schools should initiate whole school reading, which should involve all members of staff including the
head teacher. The initiation of this approach can be underpinned through whole school commitment and dedication of members of staff (Kanolik and
Turker, 2011). This can lead to the "development of sustainable reading culture within schools" (National Union for Teachers NUT, 2016). This is of
importance as the reading policy emphasises that it is essential that reading is developed in schools with greater focus being put on the teachers,
teaching children to read through phonics in Key Stage One.
Parts of the reading policy in Appendix A focus on certain areas that teachers should keep in mind whilst encouraging reading to take place in the
classroom. Factors which have been mentioned in the reading policy in Appendix A are home– school links, reading environments, the necessity of a
multi – literary approach and teaching of reading through phonics. The Department for Education (DfE, 2013) define phonics as teaching children to

qualities such as an interested in the welfare of the children and the school and to be prepared to give their time and effort when required. They

The Three Year Planning Will Include A Swoc / T Analysis
The three–year planning will include a SWOC/T analysis which considers strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges or threats (Bryson,
2011). A SWOC/T analysis is not simply creating lists of these components; rather it is about careful discussion, analysis, comparison, and contrast.
Usually the strengths and weaknesses are related to internal factors and the opportunities and challenges or threats relate to the external environment
(Davies & Ellison, 2003). Related to the challenge selected to be addressed in the three–year plan, the internal factors that will be included in a SWOC
/T analysis are curriculum, learning and teaching, assessment and results, extracurricular activities, financial resources, staffing, staff skills and
abilities, and school character and school culture. External factors include political, legal, and economic factors, central and local educational changes,
demographic and socio–cultural trends, technology, and other providers.
The industrialization of teaching, in other words imposing standardization and high–stakes testing and limiting teacher autonomy, creativity, and
responsiveness may also impact the school's character. According to Sergiovanni (2011), a school has character if there is consistency between that
school's goals, values, and needs, and its decision and actions. Finding the right balance between legitimate mandates and school autonomy is an
important condition for that school's character to flourish (Sergiovanni, 2011).

Childhood Obesity Policy Summary
Childhood obesity is one of the major health challenges of the 21st century. (World Health Organization, 2016). In the last 30 years, obesity has more
than doubled in children. Overweight and obesity are the result of caloric imbalance and can cause physical and psychological problems in children.
A global shift in dietary habits and lack of physical activity play a crucial role in childhood obesity. Healthy lifestyle habits, such as healthy eating and
physical activity can reduce the risk of becoming obese. School plays an important role in establishing a safe and supportive environment with policies
and practices that support healthy behaviors (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). The fifty state legislation on childhood obesity policy
was enacted in 2013. Many states including, Texas has enacted some type of schoolnutrition legislation but not on physical education (National
Conference of State Legislatures, 2013). Therefore, the author decided to contact a policymaker, a local school board member of Plano, Texas to

Bullying: Policy and Sociological Theory
Bullying: Policy and (Sociological) Theory Sociological theories, concepts, and studies provide a greater purpose and function more than just
being products of academic and research extension work. Work in policy development is where usually these theories and studies are translated
into policy recommendations and if lobbied and defended with strong support from key and influential individuals and groups, could actually lead
to legislative action. Indeed, the conversion of theory to policy is a process that drives sociologists and social researchers to explore, determine,
and understand more social phenomena that would create great impact to the society in general. One of the examples in which theory is translated
to policy is on the issue of bullying in schools. The National Crime Prevention Council, through its program, Positive Change Through Policy (
HYPERLINK "http://www.ncpc.org" www.ncpc.org), provides specific policies and legislation that have been developed as a result of social
research and studies that used sociological theories as the foundation of the research work. In the case of bullying, NCPC cited three examples of
policy and legislation that proactively addresses the issue of bullying in schools. These policies/legislation include: (1) a policy in New York that
formally commits schools to proactively prevent bullying in their respective schools, in addition to providing counseling and intervention programs to

The 30 days education plan demonstrates the current intervention to provide youth with adequate education in response to OOHC placement.

  • 8. The Legislation Of Teacher Rotation Policy Quality An intensive debate over the quantitative or qualitative aspects in education has been sparked in policy planning. However, there is a new consensus among policy makers that the achievement of quantity in education will ultimately rely on the quality of education available (UNESCO, 2004). The importance of good quality is emphasised in the Dakar Framework for Action: Education for All (EFA). Goal 2 lists the provision of "compulsory primary education of good quality" as a collective commitment, while Goal 6 commits nations to improve "all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills" (UNESCO, 2000, p.15–17). The legislation of teacher rotation policy in China is a national campaign towards EFA goals with particular attention to quality improvement in education. Quality is positioned as a strategic objective in the national policy document. It is internationally recognised that teacher professionalism plays a central role in education quality (Avalos & Barrett, 2011). Policy makers and researchers come to agree that among all theschool–based practitioners, teachers have the greatest influence on student achievement (Santiago, 2002; Schacter & Thum, 2004).

  • 11. Essay On Superintendent REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Introduction Preparing teachers, principals and superintendents has been the responsibility of schools of education across the United States. Once they have completed their preparation these educators must tackle the challenge of educating America's youth. Education is still a major factor in the social, psychological, and financial development of one individual; it determines the difference between a life fully lived and a life only dreamed of while opportunity passes by. The role of the superintendent today serves many roles; the main function of the position is leadership. The superintendent as the top executive of a given school district, including a group of schools affiliated with the public school system. A direct connection exists between the superintendent and the school board that he or she serves.

Many policies begin at the macro level, with large organisations such as The World Bank, UNESCO and the United Nations.

All of these reforms have different policies, which a different government brings in every time and it is elected into power. They bring their own political agendas to alter the education system. Despite all the previous policies, there are some that have their advantages and disadvantages but the major shift happened in between 1980– 1990 (Ball, 1990). Britain's education system became 'increasingly politicised' during this time. Ball (1990:3) describes this period as 'Thatcherism'. Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government brought a lot of changes in the education system, including parents' choice in selecting schools for their children, the national curriculum, national assessment and school self–sufficiency. The main reason for introducing the national curriculum was due to the failing teachers and this lead to a 'failing country' (Trowler, 1993:100). Whitty (2016:27) describes Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government restructure as "a marketising approach to the reform of the school system". Similaly, Machin (CEE DP 57) refers to this as being 'market mechanisms'. These reforms were designed to improve pupil's achievement and the achievement rate did improve. However, this raised concerns about increased inequality in our school systems. Different policies have different implications, as mentioned above. The Conservative government's policy between the years 1980 to 1990 had achieved its target, but its implications left a huge gap of inequality in our school system.

The main goal of the legislation was to enable the country's educational system to meet the demands posed by national security needs.

The criticism of the American education system, especially its public schools, increased immensely with the launching of Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite, by the Soviet Union in October 1957. Eisenhower, in his Message to Congress on January 27, 1958, called for aligning educational programs with national defense needs and recommended the federal government play an important part in this activity. The NDEA was the result of the enlarged federal role in education (britannica). On the day Sputnik first orbited the earth, the chief clerk of the Senate's Education and Labor Committee, Stewart McClure, sent a memo to his chairman, Alabama Democrat Lister Hill, reminding him that during the last three Congresses the Senate had passed legislation for federal funding of education, but that all of those bills had died in the House. Perhaps if they re–designated the education bill to a defense bill, it might pass. Senator Hill, a former Democratic whip and a savvy legislative tactician, seized upon on the idea, which led to the National Defense Education Act (Senate.gov).

  • 23. Foreign Policy Is A Historical Phenomenon Foreign policy is a historical phenomenon, playing an integral role in international relations theory; it is defined as how a state should interact with other states, as well as non–state agents, in order to achieve a goal. Foreign policy can be distinguished from general policy through three preconditions: the ontic precondition, institutional precondition and finally, the public precondition. Walker's Inside/ Outside argues that in the period from the fifteenth and seventeenth century, there emerged an ontic differentiation between the inside of thestate, which is dominated by the rule of law, and the outside of the state, which is anarchic, with states competing for their national interests. This is followed by the institutional precondition, with Richelieu's bureaucratisation of the French state in 1624 and the emergence of the public sphere in eighteenth century England and France. By the late eighteenth century, Europe had established its first foreign ministries, with these spreading eastwards in the 1800s; as such, a divide between the Westphalian state, the 'inside', and the separate realm of the 'outside' world was established. Finally, the public precondition necessitates a need for secrecy, where the monarch sought to curb the power of civil society and the media by materialising the divide between foreign and domestic issues.

The DTP aims to improve the students achievement by improving five elements of schoolings: students attendance, students discipline, teachers attendance, teachers quality and school leadership. An emphasis is given to every District Office in the country to carry the responsibilities in supporting the schools. This is because of their close proximity relations to the schools.

The party opposed RTT advanced Common Core State Standards, which promote a "one size fits all approach to education" (Spring, 2015, 63). Along with political factions, those majorly impacted by RTT objected to its premise. The main teachers unions in the U.S., theNational Education Association as well as the American Federation of Teachers, highlighted several points of disagreement in RTT which would lead to challenges in implementation. At the time, the NEA said it cannot support RTT's endorsement of using test scores for evaluating teachers, increasing the number of charter schools, and bolstering what the union calls "fast–track" alternative routes to teacher licensure (Sawchuk 2009). Additionally, the AFT expressed concerns about RTT and how much the program helps students, whether it is fair to teachers, whether it is transparent to the public, and whether it requires shared responsibility (Weingarten 2009).

This involves teachers adopting a whole school approach which can be utilised to support children in becoming independent learners in Literacy and aiding children to make progress in both Key Stages. Kanolik and Turker (2011) suggest that schools should initiate whole school reading, which should involve all members of staff including the head teacher. The initiation of this approach can be underpinned through whole school commitment and dedication of members of staff (Kanolik and Turker, 2011). This can lead to the "development of sustainable reading culture within schools" (National Union for Teachers NUT, 2016). This is of importance as the reading policy emphasises that it is essential that reading is developed in schools with greater focus being put on the teachers, teaching children to read through phonics in Key Stage One. Parts of the reading policy in Appendix A focus on certain areas that teachers should keep in mind whilst encouraging reading to take place in the classroom. Factors which have been mentioned in the reading policy in Appendix A are home– school links, reading environments, the necessity of a multi – literary approach and teaching of reading through phonics.

The Three Year Planning Will Include A Swoc / T Analysis The three–year planning will include a SWOC/T analysis which considers strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges or threats (Bryson, 2011). A SWOC/T analysis is not simply creating lists of these components; rather it is about careful discussion, analysis, comparison, and contrast. Usually the strengths and weaknesses are related to internal factors and the opportunities and challenges or threats relate to the external environment (Davies & Ellison, 2003). Related to the challenge selected to be addressed in the three–year plan, the internal factors that will be included in a SWOC /T analysis are curriculum, learning and teaching, assessment and results, extracurricular activities, financial resources, staffing, staff skills and abilities, and school character and school culture. External factors include political, legal, and economic factors, central and local educational changes, demographic and socio–cultural trends, technology, and other providers. The industrialization of teaching, in other words imposing standardization and high–stakes testing and limiting teacher autonomy, creativity, and responsiveness may also impact the school's character. According to Sergiovanni (2011), a school has character if there is consistency between that school's goals, values, and needs, and its decision and actions. Finding the right balance between legitimate mandates and school autonomy is an important condition for that school's character to flourish (Sergiovanni, 2011). ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 49. Bullying: Policy and Sociological Theory Bullying: Policy and (Sociological) Theory Sociological theories, concepts, and studies provide a greater purpose and function more than just being products of academic and research extension work. Work in policy development is where usually these theories and studies are translated into policy recommendations and if lobbied and defended with strong support from key and influential individuals and groups, could actually lead to legislative action. Indeed, the conversion of theory to policy is a process that drives sociologists and social researchers to explore, determine, and understand more social phenomena that would create great impact to the society in general. One of the examples in which theory is translated to policy is on the issue of bullying in schools. The National Crime Prevention Council, through its program, Positive Change Through Policy ( HYPERLINK "http://www.ncpc.org" www.ncpc.org), provides specific policies and legislation that have been developed as a result of social research and studies that used sociological theories as the foundation of the research work. In the case of bullying, NCPC cited three examples of policy and legislation that proactively addresses the issue of bullying in schools. These policies/legislation include: (1) a policy in New York that formally commits schools to proactively prevent bullying in their respective schools, in addition to providing counseling and intervention programs to bullies and 'reformed' bullies; (2) a law in ...
