How would you design a model school?You have been asked by leading officials at a a university to design a model school. This should be designed to best meet the needs of all members of the community. That is, your school should be designed to provide educational equity and social justice for a diverse body of students.
Draw upon your experiences as learner and teacher, readings, and previous class discussions to pick the characteristics of your school and explain your position and how it fits into the overall philosophy of your class.
1. What will be the discipline policy at your school?
2.What will the curriculum look like? Explain your position.
3. How will the classes be arranged? What will the layout of the school look like? Consider things like walls, common spaces, and the general shape of the building. You can either write out your ideas or draw them.
4.How will the students be grouped – ability, age, interests, or gender? How many will be in each group?
5.What role will the community play in your school? Who from the community will be involved, and how will you get them involved?
6.Will ethics and morals be part of the curriculum? If so, how will they be taught?
7.Based on what criteria will the teachers be selected?
You must support your answers with research, not opinion. Have the mindset that this information will be shared with stakeholders who want to help you create this model school for your community. You do need to have several sources of information in your research.
