Do you feel that resources are adequate and appropriately allocated?
How might you allocate resources differently? Support your response. Include a link to the budget and expenditures data that you reviewed. Respond to at least one other student, indicating whether you feel that resources were allocated well and how you might allocate resources differently.

‘I Work 3 Jobs and Donate Blood Plasma to Pay the Bills.’ This Is What It’s Like to Be a Teacher in America.

The Most and Least Paid Teachers in the World.

Why do U.S. teachers earn so much less per hour than teachers in some other countries? What do you believe is the biggest barrier to teacher salaries being raised in the U.S.? What can be done to address this barrier? Propose a potential solution to increasing teacher pay across the U.S. What would need to happen? Who would need to be involved? Where would the funding come from? Be as specific as you can and be sure to include a rationale and support for your response.

Post your proposal with your solution on how to increase teacher pay. Respond to at least one other student, respectfully critiquing their ideas to increase funding for teacher salaries. Do you see any challenges with the proposed plan?

Part 3

Identify an individual who holds a leadership role in an education environment. You may interview in person, via video conference, or teleconference. This person could be a school principal or vice-principal, a corporate trainer, a curriculum director, a dean, et cetera. Ideally, they would be from an area similar to the one you currently work in or hope to work in someday. Then ask them the following questions:

What is the most difficult part of your work?
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
What led you to pursue a leadership role?
What advice do you have for someone seeking a leadership role in education?

In your discussion post, provide the name, job title, and brief job description of the person you interviewed. Then provide the responses they gave for each of the questions. What aspects of this leader’s role do you find the most interesting? What aspects do you think would be the most rewarding for you? What might be most challenging for you? Would you want to hold this position? Why or why not? Respond to at least one of your peers, indicating whether you think this role would suit you and what might be most challenging for you. Provide a rationale to support your response.

Part 4

What is your philosophy of education? If you previously wrote one, update it to include aspects of global education. If you have never drafted one, use the supplemental resources to help you develop one.
Briefly share your philosophy of education (one paragraph). Have the topics in this course influenced your philosophy of education? Explain. Respond to at least one of your peers, indicating how your educational philosophies and your thoughts about global education are similar or different.
