My Journey With Learning My desired career as a dentist lies eight years away and during four of those years I will be exposed to unrelated subjects such as math and history in order to make me a “well-rounded” individual. My journey with learning mirrors that of Samuel Scudder in his article “Look at Your Fish: In the Laboratory with Agassiz”. It is clear to see that my learning style is a product of the forced education guidelines I must follow as a U.S student; I do not learn everything…

The Significance of Re-examining the Current Practices Through reviewing the history of introducing inclusive education into Australian schooling, it seems that the government has made some progress of facilitating inclusive education.

Only 40 percent of teen moms finish high school, and less than two percent of teen mothers (those who have a baby before age 18) finish college by age 30.” (p. 1) The statistics are even higher for though who are…

The parents that did not agree with inclusion state that their children did and would not benefit from this classroom program.

studying. This seems to be a dichotomy between what is encouraged by the college that needs to be explored, because it is possible that these students are not aware of the use of literacy supports or have trouble taking responsibility of their own educational needs. MacIntire’s article, “Colleges Face Calls for Better Support of Students with Learning Disabilities” (July 2, 2015) reminds us that many college students may not have the self-advocacy skills required to get the support they…

Physical Education There are three purposes of physical education in the school curriculum. One purpose is to teach students the physical skills associated with many different sports.

Another purpose of physical education is to teach students the rules and tactics of different sports that are common to our culture. We often teach students…

included in this study. The main question of the study was-Do state mission statements include student social behavior as one of their identified educational outcomes?
