New Directions for Supervision – Case Studies New Directions for Supervision – Case Studies Case Study 1. By what criteria should this private corporation be allowed, or not allowed, to broadcast into public school classrooms? Write a policy statement defining this issue.The purpose of this school policy is to clarify the grounds upon which an external party may or may not be allowed to broadcast their material in public schools as ours. They shall undergo formal procedures prior to planning any material for the school.

It shall be reviewed by our decision-making authorities and only and only if an approval is passed, shall the party display their broadcast. It should be kept in mind that rules of appropriateness are strictly adhered to and that no material aired shall raise political or religious controversies. The school has full authority to terminate the contract at any time deemed fit, shall the party violate any rules. 2. What safeguards would you insist on for ensuring the objectivity of such privately developed ‘news’?

For ensuring objectivity, I would insist on having a researcher on behalf of the school as a checker for all scripts prepared. Nothing must be aired before the researcher confirms for all facts/artifice found in the ‘news’. The false statements must be edited out and the draft be sent to a senior authority in the school faculty. After their approval, a final check must be made by an independent authority so as to eliminate any bias that may be running within the school through the private corporation.

Case Study 21. As a supervisor assigned to oversee the development of charter schools in your district, what concerns would you have? Please list and then prioritize these concerns. (Note to answer: Concerns are numbered and listed down below, with the prioritization numbers stated at the end of each concern.)i. Since charter schools are formed by teachers, parents and/or community members, it should be ensured that student performance results are free from bias. Such schools are free from most state laws and regulations apart from a certain performance criteria that is to be met. [2]ii. If performance criteria is failed, the school may be forced to close.

A check must be made to ensure that no bribery is involved in the middle to prevent this from happening. [3]iii. Since these schools have minimal rules and state authority scrutiny attached, the education level provided may lose worth. An independent, unbiased party must revise the curriculum and methods used in the school on a yearly basis to make certain that quality education is being provided to students. [1] 2. What advantages might charter schools bring for students in your attendance area?

Using the secondary school as a model, try to envision positive changes that might occur as the charter school movement progresses. The advantages a charter school would bring in are as follows:i. By being tuition fee free, these schools will provide children of those community members who cannot afford regular school fee a chance to study. ii. Due to strict performance criteria, students will be provided with as much quality education as regular secondary school students, leading to a brighter future. iii. Since admission requirements are not strict, majority children can be educated.iv. Minority population or those abused with sectarianism in regular schools can study in peace in a charter school.
