...accommodate an inclusive approach in order to provide services to students with disabilities. Inclusion is not only about making changes in the services now offered, it is more depth, where there will be a major a “facelift” to the current educational system required to ensure the program is successful. Supporting Inclusion The goals for full inclusion are to be a positive and progressive experience for students, parents and teachers; and in order to complete this, all of the required resources and support need to be in place. The concept of inclusion is an easy sell when we live in a society that values equality. Provision consists of ordinary supports such as, “philosophy, policies, people, materials, technology and curricula” (Ryan & Paterna, 1997). From research completed, full inclusion in the classroom is a positive step forward in education. Full inclusion in classrooms provides an atmosphere that “contributes to a positive classroom culture, acknowledges differences, promotes acceptance, and provides opportunities for real-life problem solving” for students (Giangreco, 2007). It has been noted that supporters of full inclusion have confidence and trust in the model and are confident it is the appropriate model to deliver to all students. Question that often comes to mind is; “is it fair for students with learning disabilities to be...

...Analyse the contribution of humanistic psychology to the field of education Education has a critical role to play in nurturing children’s development across a range of intelligences and skills, and in laying the foundations for successful participation in adult life. The objective of the education system in Ireland is to provide a broadly based inclusive, high quality education that will enable individuals to develop to their full potential and to live fulfilled lives, as well as contributing to Ireland’s social and economic development. Humanistic perspective believes the purpose of education is to create better human beings. To create better communities, societies, use their knowledge to make better decisions resulting in a better world. “Education is an important factor in the development of the child. Education is a significant aspect in the day-to-day development of a child and education contributes to the personal, social, cultural and accomplishment of the adult” (Ncca.ie, www, Dated assessed 27th of November 2012) Humanistic psychology clearly highlights the role of the individual and their potential. It takes the environmental concerns and matters into account, rather than concentrating exclusively on their internal thoughts, desires and emphases the value of growth and self-actualisation. Humanistic psychology focuses on a holistic approach towards an individual and encourages the teacher to integrate and concentrate on the ‘whole’ when relating...

...career opportunities, introduce equality with men and to eliminate the illusion of “the happy housewife”. This specific speech announces that abortion should be a part of a women’s civil right. Betty Friedan singles out women to be the invisible minority in America. The invisible women in the American society are the ones who take an active share in the important resolution of the government and not the women who take care of the domestic duties. Friedan compares the invisibility of forward-looking women to the Afro-American permanent residents in America. For many years, the Afro-American people in the U.S. have been the invisible section of the population in the Southern states. Racial segregation in America became a crucial part of life until the segregation legally ended in 1964 because of the Civil Rights Act. The blacks were in those days invisible according to their voting rights. The voting rights of blacks were systematically restricted because the black’s voting papers did not manage to be registered. Many Afro-American were killed because of their attempt to exercise their right to vote and for being member of political institutions. The following sentence describes the drawn parallel between the Afro-Americans and the persistent and energetic women: “As the Negro was the invisible man, so women are the invisible people in America today” – p. 1, l. 2. The reason why women are demeaned is because they are often seen as a...

...as they would be if the infant was born after 32 weeks. NICHD continued to explain that preterm infants, most times, require life-saving medical treatments to survive. These treatments can cause pain and stress that is unwanted for the infant. The pain and stress during these critical development periods can cause problems long term. Some challenges for these infants long term can consist of visual memory, poor planning skills, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Several studies have been done by The Institute to understand how these stressors affect the brain development and to help find ways to make their first weeks after birth easier. NICHD is also hoping to promote healthy development with these studies. In one study the researchers measured the cortisol level in the children’s saliva before, during and after the children performed simple tests. The study showed the children who were born extremely preterm did worse than the children born preterm and full term. However, the study also showed that positive mother-child interaction helped reduce the stress in the extremely preterm children. In other studies researchers used brain imaging to measure cognitive deficits. These studies showed that children who were very preterm could not remember pairs of shapes that were shown just moments before. The very preterm children showed different brain...

...A beneficiary is a person entitled to receive the proceeds from a life insurance policy. There is potential friction between actual people in your life and legal constructs defining those people. Thus, naming a beneficiary is more complicated than it might initially seem. Basic Definition Investopedia tells us that A beneficiary is any person who gains an advantage and/or profits from something. But, especially for purposes of life insurance, a beneficiary is really two seemingly identical, yet fundamentally different things: A person qualified to receive the proceeds of the policy. The person named in the paperwork. The potential friction between these two things makes the answer to this question far more complicated than it might seem. For example, to your mind, saying "my wife" or giving her full legal name (such as "Sally Ann Smith") may...

...Analysis of ted hughes poetry, and his life work. Along with sylvia plath's The Issues that Happened behind Poetries in Contemporary Era In this scientific work, I want to analyze four poems in the contemporary era. The works are: The seven sorrows condensed from Ted Hughes, at grass by Philip Larkin, September 1913 and the stolen child by William Butler Yeats. The four poetries that appeared in the 20th Century, From the beginning of 20th Century like William Butler Yeats till the middle of 20th Century like Ted Hughes and Philip Larkin. As we know that William Butler Yeats’s poetries existed in the First World War at that time, poets did a lot of experiments in writing their literary works. They concentrated more on technique in writing their literary works. Meanwhile, Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes created poem the World War II, whereas nowadays, poets, do not focus on confusing technique but more at content and meaning that is easier to be understood by the readers. Now, I want to analyze symbol in the poem related with the issue that happens to the real fact or the real situation at that time. Now, I want to analyze a poem titled “The Seven Sorrows” written by Ted Hughes. We can see from the first stanza namely, the word “autumn”, this word symbolizes sadness, probably sadness that is felt by the writer. In that stanza, I found a phrase “a brown poppy head”. This phrase symbolizes something that long drawn out that has not disappointed from...

...church. God told the Pastors to come to a city that was full of sin, pain, in need of the Almighty Savior and filled with poverty. “Pastors Jim and Deborah Cobra had just started the church with a small group of people, and the Lord was already bringing in the broken-hearted, the sick and the maimed” (The Rock Church, 2013). With the promise from Isaiah 12:3, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation”, The Rock Church begins a life-long difference in a broken city. Then after many years, a mother and her son with Down syndrome named “Brian” came to service. The church was developing and expanding its structures at the time. The Pastor was preaching about how the members could help by donations to pay off the upgraded church. Pledges were being made, and Brian was only a young child at the time. He wanted to pledge. He wanted to get involved. His mother was astounded by Brian’s need to be involved. At first, the mother did not think of Brian being able to determine his involvement in the pledge; however she did not want to confuse the love of the Lord that Brian was clearly showing. She did not think it was possible for him to get, but she quickly learned she was wrong. This is when RCWOC decided to make a fully inclusive children’s youth ministry program, and they named it after Brian. RCWOC is dedicated in meeting the needs of all children that attend the church. Down Syndrome: A Full Inclusion Plan for The Rock Church Like today’s many churches...

...for these children to be charged as an adult. These children are being over charged. They are still children just committing adult crimes. When these youth are tried as adults it exposes these juveniles to state prisons without parole and even execution. In addition, it is over 2,500 child offenders serving life without parole in United State prisons for crimes committed before they 18th birthday. Therefore, youth should not be tried as adults because they are being over charged for these crimes. One reason that youth should not be charged as adults is that it’s just a double standard on these children. These juveniles don’t have full brain development to even know the outcome of the crimes committed. The thing about youthful offenders is that no one seems to care about them. Most people don't like the youth of America, even the good ones can be unpleasant. Combine the feeling they have toward the average teenager with the fear inspired by youth violence, and you have a population that no one wants to deal with. There is a disturbing trend of increasing violence among young people. "Uniformly in our communities, more young people are engaging in dangerous behavior. As a result of that, more prosecutors and the citizens generally seem to be exerting more pressure to charge these youths as adults. (Judge Elizabeth). Therefore, charging these children as adults will not make the streets safer it’s just hurting the children of America...

...I found myself questioning the education system, and how we educate children and young adults from kindergarten to graduate school. Herbert discussed the prison pipeline, and how our youth is being broken down and mistreated. Children and young adults are being arrested and incarcerated, for doing things which in the past wouldn’t have led to police intervention. The consequences of the prison pipeline are endless, per Herbert we are creating criminals. Herbert stated that after forcing children into the criminal justice system for small misdemeanors, they experience a prefatory course in behavior that is criminal. Thus,...

...has set expectations and goals in life that they hope to soon accomplish (Kennedy, 2009). However; not every human is perfect. Some live up to what goals and expectations they set and others either choose to go on a different path or make a wrong turn listening to backseat drivers, the normal reaction to that situation would be to hold the backseat driver accountable for the mistakes that, but the person behind the wheel should assume full responsibility. The driver has freedom of choice whether it is to listen to that person over their shoulder or listen to his or her own mind. The decision that is made in every special circumstance of our lives is responsible for our own success and failures, happiness, unhappiness, past, and future. Some people may believe because the economy is bad they can blame others for their actions. Honestly, becoming the owner of personal responsibility and accepting the choices made will make you a successful person. First of all I am extremely happy and excited about the programs and tutorials that University of Phoenix provides students to help them obtain excellence in class. The workshops available assist students who have been out of school for several years remember the basics of each subject. It keeps me motivated during the classes and definitely makes learning easy. Make sure you set your expectations and be clear on what it is you want to obtain. It is not easy staying on track because everyday life events get in the way and that can...

...college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job, raise children, and have a social life. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming. The daily tasks of working and meeting the demands of job obligation can leave a college student exhausted. There are a limited number of students who work full time jobs and attend college full time. Others, still work late and get up in the wee hours of the morning trying to fit all of the required tasks of school and work into one day. Students often find themselves more exhausted when they are trying to schedule tasks, because there just does not seem to be enough time in one day. Putting in long hours and worrying about class schedules adds stress to a student life. The college student who has children is faced with guilt about not being able to spend time with the children. The children has great demands on time. They need help with their homework, or need dinner and to be tucked in bed at a certain time. The thought of not being able to keep up with the demands of the children is very stressful and can be depressing to both the child and parent. In other words everyone suffers because you are unable to fulfill all the obligations that you have taken on. College students finds very little time to enjoy...

...One performing art that can affect a child’s life forever is acting. Acting is a great way for a child to express themselves. They can be whoever they want to be and is like a big game of dress-up. Acting can just be a way for the kid to be themselves, or a full-time career. When they grow up, they can decide which path they would like to take in acting. Hollywood, Broadway, or just a normal job. These are huge decisions for their career and their life forever. For a Hollywood career, a child can get in over their head when they start to act. They can feel a sense of entitlement and have a giant ego. They can get into a downhill spiral of drugs, alcohol, and other bad things. This may not happen to everyone, but in most cases, this is the...
