Ashford ECE 673 Week 1 Discussion The ISLLC Standards
The ISLLC Standards. 1st Post Due by Day 3. After reading the required text for this week, focus on the six standards for school leadership developed by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC). For this discussion, you will focus on one standard for which you will provide your peers with information, insight, and resources. Be sure to review and collect the resources from your peers’ responses also as you will need this information for the summative assignment in Week 6*. Please refer to the following chart to identify which standard you will be reporting on for this discussion. For example, Jane Doe would be assigned Standard 1. 
Referring to your assigned standard in your discussion post, respond to each of the following:
 List one or two overarching themes embedded in the standard you are assigned.
 Suggest one professional resource. The resource should be relevant to the early childhood field as well as
“provide guidance and insight about the traits, functions of work, and responsibilities expected of school
and district leaders” (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2008, p. 5).
 Assess and describe your knowledge of the ISLLC conceptual framework and standards according to your
personal leadership experience and goals. What areas are your strengths? Do you have any concerns about the standards or the framework or goals for further development in this area?

Ashford ECE 673 Week 1 Journal Ill-Structured Problem
Ill-Structured Problem. 1st Post Due by Day 7. Ill-structured problems (ISPs) have no clear goals or constraints and often involve ethical dilemmas. In fact, ISPs are highly dependent on context as well as the perspective of those who are solving the problem. In approaching an ill-structured problem, educational leaders must attend to alternative points of view and create arguments to justify the proposed solution. The purpose of this case study is to respond to an ill-structured problem with a potential solution.
After reading the case study “Discrimination or Background Knowledge, Part I” found at the end of Chapter 1, respond to the following questions:
1. What characteristics of the case study demonstrate that this is an ill-structured problem?
2. What ISLLC standards are applicable to this case study and how would you justify your explanation
using the text?
3. Acknowledging the legal and ethical issues surrounding this case, how would you professionally respond
to the following groups to begin to uncover a solution without adding “fuel to the fire”?
o How might you respond to the minority parents who feel their children have been denied access?
o How would you respond to the principals who feel students of color do not have proper study
skills?

Ashford ECE 673 Week 2 Assignment Religious Expression: Let Us Pray
Religious Expression: Let Us Pray. Due by Day 7. Religious issues tend to elicit strong emotions for all involved in the school system. Educational leaders today need to have at least a basic knowledge of the legal guidelines regarding religious expression in public schools. Additionally, effective communication and appropriate practices are essential for resolving issues around religion and core cultural values.
After completing the required reading, respond to the following questions using examples, the text, and at least one outside source to support your thinking:
 What is the impact of the Fourteenth Amendment on religion and public education?
 Why might it be difficult for some school districts to find the proper balance between holiday activities being religious enough but not offending minority religious beliefs or those who believe schools should
remain neutral?
 The role of religion in public education is often cited as part of the “culture wars.” How would you define
culture wars? What may be some areas other than religion that intertwine public education in the culture
wars?
 How do you plan on responding to potential dilemmas surrounding religious expressions? What basic
guidelines will you use to influence your decision-making?

Ashford ECE 673 Week 2 Discussion 1 Dress Code
Dress Code. 1st Post Due by Day 3. State law does not give students the right to choose their mode of dress. Thus, the matter of student dress and grooming is at the discretion of local school districts. A common question remains: Can school districts have a dress code that discriminates on the basis of gender?
Pay close attention to Chapter 4, especially the Tinker case which highlights that “conduct by the student, in class or out of it, which for any reason—whether it stems from time, place, or type of behavior—materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others is, of course, not immunized by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech” (p. 65).
In your discussion post,
 Present an argument to the question, “Can school districts have a dress code that discriminates on the
basis of gender?” using the text and one outside source to support your explanation.
 Refer to at least two statements from the Linking to Practice Do and Do Not suggestions in Chapter 4 (p.
70) to further explain your rationale for your dress code argument.

Ashford ECE 673 Week 2 Journal Drug-Free School
Drug-Free School. 1st Post Due by Day 7. Begin by reading the case study “The Case of the Powdered Aspirin” in Chapter 5. This case helps school leadership candidates understand the conflict between the need for a drug- free school culture and the equally compelling ethical requirement that all students be treated fairly. The case study also sets the stage for discussions about procedural and substantive due process and the idea of a well- ordered school.
Respond to the following questions providing a rationale for each response using this week’s assigned reading.
 Can Lasiandra’s parents request a hearing before the local board of education? Why or why not?
 Does Lasiandra have a property of liberty interest that qualifies her for due process protection?
 Have the procedural guidelines for student suspension been met?
 What characteristics of a well-ordered school are missing in this scenario? (Hint: See the three defining characteristics as well as the “Do and Do Not” section in the “Idea of a Well-Ordered School” section of the text.)

Ashford ECE 673 Week 3 Assignment Legal Case Summary
Legal Case Summary. Due by Day 7. For this assignment, you will write a summary of a judicial decision. The goal of this assignment is to support you in the practice of reading a legal document and communicating your understanding of the decision. Please use the following template which highlights the elements that should be included in a case summary. The key is to systematically arrange related parts of the decision that are often scattered throughout the written judgement, assimilating the information, and making it manageable.
After reading Burriola vs. Greater Toledo YMCA,
use the following template to answer the guiding questions for
each section.
Legal Case Summary Template
Nature of the Case (Facts): Who are the parties to the lawsuit, and what is their dispute? In your own words, only include the few important facts necessary to understand the case (e.g., the time of day a defendant was arrested is usually not important).
Issue: What is the basic legal question that is to be decided in the case? (Hint: the issue of the case is usually easy to spot). An example of an issue would be: Can a police officer legally enter a home to search when he or she hears someone yelling for help?
Holding (Decision): What is the basic answer to the basic legal question in the case?
Rule of Law: What rule of law is announced in the case? A court first must announce a specific controlling principle of law (e.g., the court's interpretation of a constitutional provision, not the constitutional provision itself) that applies to the issue in the case. The rule itself must be quoted
because every word matters: there is a huge difference between “a” and “the” or between “may” and “must.” The rule of law is often only one or two sentences.
Reasoning: This is a brief summary of why the court decided the way it did. It often traces the history of the particular law at issue. In the reasoning, the court often cites other cases, legal precedent, or explores legislative intent to explain and justify its holding. In the reasoning, the court will also use its own interpretation of a rule of law to support its conclusion.

Ashford ECE 673 Week 3 Discussion 1 Search of Student Property & Person
Search of Student Property & Person. 1st Post Due by Day 3. A search of a student’s person or property may start as a reasonable search but can quickly escalate into an unreasonable one. The case study “Walkabout” at the beginning of Chapter 6 presents the issue of searching students. Additionally, the issue of drugs (even over-the- counter drugs) on school property is a current problem that should be addressed.
For this discussion, if your last name begins with A through M, you will present an argument in full support of the search of Tasha’s property and person. If your last name begins with N through Z, you will present an argument that the search of Tasha’s property and person was unreasonable. (John Doe would argue in support of searching Tasha’s person and property.) Both arguments should keep in mind: Tasha is most likely violating school rules by skipping math class and hiding behind some shrubberies. But, does this justify the search of her purse? Does a tip from an “unreliable” source that Tasha is selling pills during lunch justify a search of her purse? Of her brassiere?
Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers’ posts who shared an aspect of the argument that sheds light on your own perspective. Reflect on your initial post based on evidence or information shared in your peers’ post. Your response could be a rebuttal, revision, or shift to the opposing argument.
