D022 People and Talent in Educational Leadership passed Task1 Western Governors University
Western Governors University
, A1:
George Madison Elementary is losing five general education teachers, therefor these
positions will filled. These positions will be part of the current staffing budget. The positioning of
teachers and grade levels will be shifted as shown below.
The building leadership team has collaborated to discuss school needs and how to spend the
extra $225,000. We have decided to hire a social worker at $86,000, an intervention specialist at
75,000, and another general ed teacher at $61,000. The intervention specialist will have the same salary
as a teacher with a master's and at least seven years of experience. The general education teacher will
have less than four years of experience and only a bachelor’s degree. This comes to a total of $222,000.
A2:
With the increase in staffing budget for hiring additional teachers and employees, my
first thought was the number of students enrolled this past year versus the number of students that will
be enrolled. With George Madison Elementary gaining 33 students in the coming year, we needed to
add another general education teacher to have manageable class sizes. Also, shifting teachers will be
needed, but this must be done to ensure teachers teach in grades that coordinate with their specific
licensure. In my state of employment, (Ohio), class sizes have been a topic of discussion. Many
teachers in Columbus Ohio have gone on strike and argue that class sizes are the main reason. “In
Columbus, Ohio, in the fall of 2022, teachers went on strike to get lower class sizes.” (Flannery, 2024)
Keeping classrooms anywhere from 20 to 24 students, allows teachers to have better management,
build relationships, hold effective reading and math groups, and provide sufficient instructional space.
The number of teachers per grade and class sizes are as follows:
Kindergarten- 6 Teachers- 120 students are projected to be enrolled in Kindergarten. To support all the
student's needs at such a young grade, I feel it’s important to have 6 teachers at this level so that there
are 20 students in each class.
First Grade- 5 teachers- 95 students are projected to be enrolled in First grade. With this being another
building block year, it’s important to keep class sizes as low as possible. There would be 19 students
per class.
Second Grade- 5 Teachers- 119 students are projected to be enrolled in Second Grade. Second-
grade classrooms will have the highest number of students at 23-24 per class.
