Using material from item A and elsewhere assess the view that social class differences in educational achievement are the result of school processes such as labelling. Some sociologists would explain the social class differences in educational achievement as being caused by internal factors. These are factors within schools and the education system that could cause these differences. One internal factor is labelling. To label someone is to attach a meaning or definition to them.
Also another policy introduced in the 1988 education act was open enrolment days in which parents and students could look around schools and experience what it would be like to go to that particular school. Also to increase choice, open enrolment created a competition for schools to attract pupils and a greater funding. However some sociologists would argue that education policies have other aims other than marketisation. Students now at school have to stay on in some type of education till they are 18. This policy was introduced by New Labour, carried out later by the conservatives, with the main aim to reduce inequality.

Current Issues Summary and Response Matt 12/12/2010 Intro As a future special education teacher one of my jobs will be to keep up-to-date on current issues in the education field and let my parents know about any helpful development on these current issues. It is important for teachers to keep tabs on new developments that could be useful to better their understanding of education as a whole. There are a plethora of current issues involving special education. These issues range from more controversial to less controversial. Some of the more controversial issues are the use of tests to place students into special education, how should we grade students with special needs and how to discipline a student who is in special education.

The author begins by exploring the complexity as well as the present issue of race in schools by asking the following questions. Lewis questions how race and racial inequality are reproduced in day-to-day life in schools along with how race can shape schooling experiences and educational outcomes. Lewis uses these questions to help frame the voices and experiences of students, teachers, parents, school personnel, and communities around issues of race. Through Lewis’ piece of work, she uses rich details that she has generated from her study to capture the "genuine" voices of participants around issues of race. She explores the complexities of race as they unfolded in Forest Hills, a white suburban elementary school, and West City and Metro 2, multiracial urban elementary schools.
I would do this by carrying out initial assessments, in the form of a learner questionnaire. The content of this would hopefully give me beneficial feedback on preferred learning styles, learner requirements i.e. considering individual needs and disabilities for total inclusion. These assessments would also give me a general idea of the backgrounds and experience of the learners. Using the Learner questionnaire as a guide I would collate all the information to aid me in designing the course.
Issues in Multicultural Education Dionne Golden EDU 230 5/11/2014 Jamie Morris Issues in Multicultural Education Student population in the United States has become culturally diverse, so it is imperative that educators provide an equitable education for all students. Cultural pluralism must be the goal in education in all educational experiences provided to students. This paper will explore concerns and challenges in multicultural education in the United States. Some of the things that pose a problem in multicultural education are; intuitional and programmatic reform, in particular the politics, teacher recruitment and how to address the increase of a culturally diverse student population, and what an effective teacher education program would do for multicultural education. The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics data revealed, one of every three students enrolled in elementary and secondary schools today is of racial/ethnic minority background.
In this assignment, I will examine the importance of classroom based research (CBR) and discuss its effectiveness when implemented in teaching. Research is defined broadly throughout the academic field. Hitchcock and Hughes (1995, p.5) define research as the means of attaining and interpreting “information and data”. According to Lambert (2012, p.12), “research is purposeful investigation, aimed at finding out things we did not know before”. As shown by Wilson (2013, pp.4-7), CBR identifies information by means of “empirical and theoretical work” based on different aspects of the classroom.
