Main Body The clinical environment with its potentially unpleasant new experiences can have a big impact on a student (White and Ewan 1991cited in Stuart 2007). The relationship between mentor and student are very important to the learning experience (Davidson 2005). It is important for the mentor to introduce and orientate the students to the placement environment, explain emergency procedure according to local policy and integrate them into the team of staff within the first 24 hours (RNC 2007). In the case of the students used as an example here an initial introduction to the department and its procedures and key members were held within the first 24 and the initial Interviews within the first 48 hours. The goal of the initial interview is to determine the learning needs of the student while encouraging self-directed learning and achievable goal setting following the principles of Andragogy (Knowles 1990).
Without an appropriate background, teachers can inadvertently isolate or alienate LEP students who need to feel like they are “part of the instructional setting” so a positive self-image is preserved (Carrasquillo & Rodriguez, 2001). Often, LEP students need special language programs which will supplement their learning needs fairly. Because of the rise of “immigrants and high fertility rates among linguistically and culturally diverse groups in the United States,” (Carrasquillo & Rodriguez, 2001) the number of students in need of special resources such as language development programs and better trained teachers is significant. Educators need to adapt teaching styles to fit the needs of these students because they are important of our country’s diverse

Studies also show that psychotherapy is necessary to supplement and optimize the effects of medication (Steinkuller and Rheineck 338). Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients manage the disorder by replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342).
After reading the article I understand that content integration in the curriculum is only the first dimension of multicultural education. Students come to school with prejudices toward different groups and that is why all teachers, whether you teach math or social studies, should be sensitive to that matter and work towards reduce prejudice in their classrooms and school and create a more positive racial attitude among the students. It is in the hands of educators to encourage students to become more critical readers and thinkers, and help them understand the values that underline knowledge. Students need construct their own knowledge and think for themselves. Teachers need to help students understand the implicit cultural assumptions and perspectives of the discipline they’re teaching.
The coeducation and the segregation by sex of the student in any educational place, either high school or university, is one of the most controversial topics in the Middle East and now in the United States. The coeducation is the integrated education of males and females in the same institution. There are some associations over the world did some statistics and researches about this topic. This is topic is important because the coeducational school might affect the educational level of the student. I realized some of the results of the coeducational schooling since I was in the middle school so, I like to do some researches and find more information about it.
Bullying in Schools Bullying within the school environment is not a new occurrence. Indeed, evidence of this habitual negative act designed to sway the balance of power (Kipp & Shaffer, 2010) between individuals or groups and individuals, has been recorded in early teaching journals (Rigby, 2003). Analytical investigation in to the area, however, could be considered contemporary. Primary research by Olweus in the 1970’s started the process (Berdondini & Liefooghe, 2005), and subsequently, several fields of social interest were identified as relevant to school bullying. This essay will discuss the historical significance of the family in relation to the issue, as well briefly examine the impact of gender.
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.
Much research has been done on this topic trying to determine the cause and to discover methods to prevent its continuance. Many articles have focused their research on the individual students and their family dynamics, but there is a growing field which focuses more upon the school climate and its effect on the students. Within the school climate the areas of teacher-student relationships, the school values, and the peer relationships are included. Many research articles show that school climate has in fact a large impact on the student’s decision to leave early. Therefore, the question is what effect does school climate have on a student's decision to leave school early.
Youth Violence in Schools American InterContinental University Abstract During this paper, I will discuss youth violence in schools, and how the media has portrayed it. I will focus on the urban schools since it has the bulk of stigmatism resulting from public opponents with who placed blame on the parents opposed to the type of community these children are forced to be a part of.

Dress Codes in Schools Kelly Mennillo Com/220 Due: 4/22/12 Kelly Munoz Some people believe that our schools should require their students to adapt to a dress code to improve student behavior, enhance students’ self-confidence, and reduce differences among socioeconomic levels. Others may say that policies enforcing dress codes, or requiring school uniforms violate students’ First Amendment rights, and suppress individuality. The argument over school dress codes and school-uniform policies continue to rage in the meeting rooms, administrative officers, and classrooms of public schools throughout the country. School officials place dress code policies so there will be orderly dressing amongst the students’. Dress codes are important, but they are troublesome at the same time.
