ADM G686-Internship I Educational Administration | Sep. 13, 2016
“Education is primarily a State and local responsibility in the United States. It is
States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that
establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for
enrollment and graduation.”
“The structure of education finance in America reflects this predominant State and
local role. Of an estimated $1.15 trillion being spent nationwide on education at all
levels for school year 2011-2012, a substantial majority will come from State, local,
and private sources. This is especially true at the elementary and secondary level,
where about 87.7 percent of the funds will come from non-Federal sources.
That means the Federal contribution to elementary and secondary education is
about 10.8 percent, which includes funds not only from the Department of Education
(ED) but also from other Federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and
Human Services' Head Start program and the Department of Agriculture's School
Lunch program.”

Announcement
1. Catarina da Silva who is the program director for the graduate
programs in Educational Administration. She is going to arrange some
school placements for this class. It is planned to begin by October,
2016. Each student needs to devote one full day to the school. This is
real service that principals can learn to depend on. UMB will try to
assign 3-5 students to a single school so you can travel and work as a
group if you like. For the beginning, UMB will find elementary
schools for all the students. More information will be provided
shortly.
2. Students are encouraged in the first semester to save your best work
and begin to build your capstone portfolio, which you will defend
publicly around April-May, 2016. You use the Taskstream program to
build the portfolio, which allows you to link all the work to the state
leadership standards. Tyra Lopes Mendes, who is UMB Director of
Assessment, Accreditation & Licensure, is also UMB resident
Taskstream expert. Tyra will visit our class to introduce the program
soon.
