Sorry  I will rewrite the question that  I have already asked.What type of school transformation is necessary?

A common, universal, language is necessary.\n\nEducators, regardless of tenure or degrees, are useless hulks of meat if they cannot communicate with their students.\n\nAt one time, it was necessary to learn Latin in order to understand science, because it was the only universal language throughout Western European Civilization. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked. And there were no complaints about it being cultural chauvinism, in spite of it being a dead language.\n\nDiversity is cool, but it ignores the fact that a universal language is more efficient. Does any teacher want to learn 5,486 languages and cultures in order to teach a class?\n\nIf I had to teach my children a second language to enhance their ability to survive and prosper in the modern world, it would be English. Once they knew that, the doors would be open to understanding a wealth of information about science, math, finance and culture.

No child left behind means that you have to be provided an appropriate education....it does not necessarily mean that you can change schools on a whim....if your school is providing you a good education, meaning qualified teachers....then no you are not guaranteed a transfer.\n\nYou can't just change schools bc you want to.

You might consider going to a school district and offering to get alternative certification to teach at the elementary level (I wouldn't wish middle or high school teaching off on even a rabid dog that had bit me!), say 4th or 5th grade.  In those two grades teachers sometimes partner and switch classes back and forth (that is one will teach math and science while the other teaches social studies and English).  You'd be a real asset as an elementary teacher with those special writing skills.

Change is good!!\nDo you have the time to teach night school??  That way you won't lose the teaching skills !!

It depends the school policy. You can ask your teacher or maybe your principle, then..

NO idea. Ask someone at your school.

You should phone a local high school and ask for information. They should know because they also have an Alternative School. All school systems do (at least in the Phoenix area).

Are you trying to send someone to the school?\n\nHere's a link about alternative schools:\n\nhttp://www.parentresources.info/copyright.htm

You need to get ahold of the county building department that the school is going to be in to get an answer to this question. If they don't have it, then you need to go to the State Department of Education - Construction Division.

It would be helpful to know what kind of a new school, private, secular, or public charter, or another kind...\n\nThese are in no particular order:\n\n1. Be very thorough in your research.  You will have to 'sell' your school to at least one "Board of Education," any potential sponsors, the community it is in, the parents of prospective students, and the teachers and staff that you will want to hire for the school.  Make sure that when you have to make your case to each of these groups (often through the media) you have answers ready to as many questions as you can.  Also, know where to quickly find answers to questions you don't have immediate answers to.\n\n2. Know why you are starting a new school, and make a list of priorities that will help you fill this need.  Is there a certain type of education or style of learning that this school will cater to, or will this just be a traditional school placed so that students don't have to travel as much to get a basic education?  Does the category of school (charter, private, secular, etc.) require a certain type of school (i.e. charter schools usually require an innovative approach to learning, so you cannot use a 'traditional' school model)?  Thinking through the priorities, especially those that will set this school apart from others, will be crucial to your planning.\n\n3. Do not 'Reinvent the Wheel.'  The variety of schools in this country are incredible, and we are not the only country on this planet.  With a little research, you will find a school that has tried what you want to do.  Or better yet, several.  Even if you do not wish to clone another school, you can learn from its successes, and its failures.  And you will probably learn about something you didn't realize you had to think about.\n\n4. Do not be afraid to be innovative.  This may seem to somewhat contradict the last statement, but each situation is unique, and a new beginning gives you a unique chance to try something nobody else has.  And the innovation does not necessarily have to be in the educational aspect.  Perhaps a new requirement for your school may be to use only energy efficient lighting, or to use only 'green materials' in construction.  Keep in mind that your school will be a business, and will have expenses, need supplies, and have to follow certain regulations.  A little extra planning now may save thousands of dollars or hundreds of man hours over the years, freeing up those resources so that they can be used for the core purpose of the school, education.\n\n5. Consider partnership agreements with other schools and businesses.  Extra-curricular activities can be shared with a neighboring school, or split between several.  Will you have a cafeteria?  If yes, and student nutrition is a high priority, perhaps an agreement with a farm coop for fresh produce, or a farmer's market for a discount on the leftover unsold produce.  If not, an agreement with another school's food service, or even a local restaurant (or several if are small businesses) can help cover your needs. \n\n6.  HIRE A PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITER.  Grants are free money, and should be a high priority for any school.  The school I helped to found hired a grant writer, and the first grant she obtained for the school was for almost double her annual salary!  Your grant writer doesn't have to be a permanent part of the staff, or even be contracted for a long term, but an experienced professional will know where to find grants for almost any specific circumstance, and will find them much faster than someone who is inexperienced.  And, in the case of grants, time wasted is money lost, grants are first come, first served.\n\n7. Find a professional (non-profit when possible) organization who can give you aid and advice.  Check with similar schools, or your state Department of Education to determine who might be available.  Even if you have to pay a fee to join a co-op or pay for

WELL BESIDES GOOGLE .. I WOULD THINK THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT SCHOOL SITES AVAILABLE THAT MIGHT HAVE GUIDES AVAILABLE AS WELL.  GOOD LUCK.. 2 SITES I FOUND BELOW..

That would be a tough job.  Often schools have websites with staff lists.  That might be a place to start.  Good luck with your search.

Not sure, but I have heard of an English prep school getting all the kids in one town to line up and jump at the exact same time thus changing the earth's axis. very slightly, i hope!

I like B1rchy's answer.\nIt also points out that organisional skills are required from the teacher too, and in particular, that there is a specific plan for what needs to be achieved (the old Aims & Objectives thing - or is it Learning Outcomes now?)\nIntegrating homework into the overall plan is very important; it should not be a rushed add-on. Setting the homework first has so many advantages. Judging by some of the Questions posted here, there are a lot of poorly prepared, puzzled and anxious pupils. I favour starting homework in the last 10 minutes or so of a lesson so that pupils have an opportunity to discover problems before they get home.\nPupils will very quickly adapt, enjoy and relax into a well-planned regime and excuses for indiscipline will decline.\nA transformation will not happen 'overnight' but will occur sooner if you can include a meaningful reward system.
