SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The School construction project planning steps are placed in the following phases: (a) assessment of needs; (b) Preliminary Planning; Subsequent parts in this section provide more detail on selected steps in this process. For each step, possible responsible persons are identified.

 (a) Assessment of Needs:

1. Identify possible construction project issues such as the following:

Timeframe: Year wise Construction:

A school architect, contractor or construction manager, fiscal consultant, and other needed consultants are key members of the school facilities team that will plan and implement a school construction project. The importance of the careful selection of school facilities team members cannot be stressed enough. Though the selection process outlined below is about selecting an architect, a similar process could be used to select other key members of the school facilities team.

Before beginning a school facilities assessment, a school needs to determine facility and instructional area enrollment capacities, and project individual program enrollments. It is important to make projections based not upon present enrollments, but upon what enrollments will likely be in new/renovated facilities.

A school operator may determine the capacity of a facility as follows (classroom = teaching station):

(# of classrooms) x (capacity of classrooms) x (% utilization of classrooms)

In an elementary school, a school operator may program general classrooms for a desirable class

Size (e.g. 40 students at primary level, 40 students other grades) or at their capacity (e.g. 30 students). For a middle or high school, the variety of classrooms or teaching stations (general classrooms, small group and large group areas, science lab, gymnasium, technical education classroom, lab) is usually greater, necessitating more separate calculations for a wider range of different class size capacities.

To determine how many classroom spaces or teaching stations are needed for a program or class (e.g. science or English), use the following formula:

Figure classroom utilization as the number of class periods minus one (for teacher preparation), or at 80% or whatever percentage scheduling experience proves to be the utilization of a classroom or instructional area.

For example:

270 student enrollment      =              3.75 sections                   =          1.4 classrooms needed

40 students per class                   6 periods per day utilization

 Plot size for School Guideline:

Proposed size of plot for School approximately 4000 Sq Foot with play area that donated by Community for the purpose of Schooling for free education to all.

Special local circumstances such as the usually free of Cost of available land and the suitable the above site size. While sharing other spaces also available on school situated site. (e.g. playground, athletic) with same private owner.

For example, monitoring of pupils’ progress from one class to another.

Supervision: This deals with overseeing those who are responsible for one thing or the other (teaching, learning, resource utilization, management, etc) in the process of educating a pupil.

Inspection: This is more penetrating and piercing than supervision. It is job – focused and scientific in approach. It involves close examination, check, scrutiny and assessment of available facilities and assessment of available resources in an institution with a view to establishing how far a particular institution has met prescribed standards.

Parents and Schools – Perfect Partners for Student Success.

 Families/Parents are busy, but there are many different ways you can get involved in your child’s education. No matter how little or how much time you have, there are many ways you can positively impact your child’s education at school and at home. Remember, when parents get involved and stay involved, all students achieve at higher levels. We as an Educationist Celebrate a Month of Involvement with parents with name of November is Family Involvement month.

 How we engaged and involved parents in School:

 Volunteer at School

• Show your child that you care
• Keep in touch with the School
• Attend School Meetings, Functions & Events
• Be an active part of Decision making committees
• Be informed and responsive
• Participate in workshops that are offered
• Provide learning Environment at Home
• Drop in on after School or Extracurricular activities
• Invite the Community to partner with the School

Volunteer at School: Schools often send home lists of various ways that parents can volunteer. If they don’t, let your child’s teachers, principal, or counselors know your special skills and ask what you can do to help.

Show your Child that you care: Have a conversation with your child about school and homework regularly. Ask specific questions that inform you about your child’s day. Know what classes your child is taking, who your child’s friends are, and other essential information.

Keep in touch with the School: Get to know your child’s teachers, principal, counselors and school’s parent involvement coordinator. Make it a point to stay in contact with them throughout the school year.

Attend School Meetings, Functions, & Events: Make time to attend parent-teacher conferences, parent fairs, curriculum nights, award ceremonies and other school events. Your attendance and support matters to your child.

Be an active part of Decision making committees: Participate in parent or school leadership organizations. Ask your school about the Parent Teacher Association or Parent Teacher Organization, school council, parent advisory committee or other parent organizations and then join one.

 Be informed and Responsive: Ask, collect, read, and respond, if needed, to all information (school policies, field trip information, student handbook, etc.) that is sent from your child’s school or teacher. If you need to receive information in a language other than English, call or visit the school.

Participate in workshops that are offered: Look for great opportunities to meet other parents at school through workshops that cover topics such as child development, school standards, and other shared parent concerns. If workshops are not offered regularly, help plan one or suggest ideas to your school counselors or parent involvement coordinator.

Provide Learning Environment at home: Make time for meaningful dinner conversations, trips, games, reading time, family sports, and daily routines. Activities like these will contribute to your child’s academic achievement at school.

Drop in on after School or extracurricular activities: Pick your child up from after-school activities or stop by a few minutes early to watch your child in action, if you are unavailable during the school day. It is also important to know your child’s after school teacher, instructor, or Principal.

Invite the Community to partner with the School: Encourage local Businesses, Masjid, Notable Persons or civic organizations that you are involved with to volunteer or financially support the school. Have community partners provide schools and families with information about services and resources they provide that support student learning such as mentoring, tutoring, and service learning activities.
