Abstract
This paper discusses the subject of wearing uniforms at public schools and notes that the practice has become more common in recent years. The paper notes that there are advantages and disadvantages to wearing uniforms and looks at arguments on both sides of the issue. The writer argues that, while it was thought that wearing uniforms would do away with economic and social distinctions and reduce gang participation, research has found that student uniforms actually had no direct effect on substance use, behavioral problems, or attendance. The writer further points out that school uniforms also deprive students of a vital form of self-expression.

Con: School Uniforms
Conclusion

From the Paper
"By allowing students to focus on learning rather than appearance, school uniforms perform a vital educational function. Required uniforms reduce competition based upon appearance and income, enabling less physically developed or attractive students to distinguish themselves upon their academics rather than beauty or flashy clothing. In one district that mandated uniforms, the superintendant explained: "I don't want haves and have-nots...I want kids to come to school and just be here for academic success, and I want teachers to be able to teach' without dealing with the distractions that clothing can create...Because we're here for teaching and learning."

Abstract
This paper discusses the growing tendency in public schools to adopt or impose school uniforms and assesses the pros and cons of this policy. The writer first presents the views of the supporters of the uniform policy, including the arguments that standardized school clothing diminishes the rate of violent acts and reduces peer pressure in schools. The writer then sums up the strongest arguments of the other side, and their responses to the advocates of school uniform. The writer concludes with the opinion that violence, low attendance and low grades cannot be solved merely by forcing students to wear uniform clothing, and that educators and parents must work together towards finding a solution to improve both the academic performance of children and their safety in schools.

From the Paper
"Standardized clothing for children and teenagers is, according to the supporters of the uniform policy, conducive to learning. Children who wear uniforms are more focused on learning. Supporters also believe that students who worry about their outfit tend to become distracted and lose interest in studying which eventually leads to poor academic results and low attendance. On the contrary, students who wear uniforms are more keen on academic pursuit and do not spend time and energy planning and choosing their clothing for school, but on studying and sleeping which results in overall better academic performance. They also claim that the latter is directly influenced by a sense of belonging to a group, a team which is generated by wearing a uniform in school."

Abstract
This paper presents a research study that attempts to determine how daily social skills instruction would affect the reduction of victimizing behavior in school and if pro-social behaviors would be demonstrated by students with learning disabilities at a small private school in Sarasota, Florida. The study also attempts to determine if instructing teachers in social skills education would have an impact on reducing victimizing behavior. Data were gathered through surveys to support the need for such social skills instruction in the daily curriculum. The paper includes tables.

" Do the faculty and staff believe social skills education received by the students had an impact on student pro-social behavior? Seventy-five percent of the teachers noticed improved pro-social behavior. When teachers were asked if they would recommend daily social skills training to other teachers/schools, 100% of the teachers stated that social skills are necessary and students must be able to properly read the teacher.

Time Management, 2008.
A discussion on the issue of how college students can enjoy their leisure time to its maximum by managing time effectively.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses anxiety and time management problems and how this causes stress. The paper states that there are many different causes of stress for the college student and that managing time effectively and having satisfaction with their leisure time are issues that must be addressed by many college students. The paper comments that academic stress is also extremely important and this is possibly one of the largest issues that college students face, but this can be lessened by learning to manage time appropriately. The paper concludes that nationwide there has been a strong increase in the stress that college students are feeling and many believe that this trend is rather disturbing.

From the Paper
"Stress is generally a good thing as all individuals must have some to survive. However, when students have too much stress in their lives or the stress is perceived as being a negative event then psychological and physical impairments can sometimes be seen. There are ways that students can reduce stress in college but they have to work at what they are doing and learn how to get enough social support, enough time for leisure and enjoyment, and manage their time correctly. If students are not able to meet any type of personal need through different leisure activities or hobbies they may feel as though the stress that they must deal with in classes and during exams is actually much stronger than what it really is. In addition, female students appear to experience more anxiety symptoms and benefit less from leisure activities, so the female college student population would seem to be the most at risk for difficulties stemming from the stress of time management problems. In addition, however, female students are seen to be better overall at managing their time effectively than male students."

Abstract
This paper looks at whether individualized behavior management plans along with a consistent classroom management system can improve target behaviors of emotionally or behaviorally disturbed children. After a review of the literature on the topic, the paper then concludes that emotion or behavioral disabilities have profound effects on the child's ability to learn; as a result, a positive system of rewards in a classroom management setting contributes to the disturbed child's academic success.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"This older research also suggested that when teachers see that students are taking responsibility for learning by initiating productive reading activities, they will reward students with increased responsibility and opportunities to be self-directed. However, recent research does not mirror the findings of the early research. Finney and Schraw (2003) conducted two experiments on the effect of choice on cognitive and affective engagement during reading. In both experiments, students who selected what they read were compared to students who were assigned their reading material. Both experiments found that unrestricted choice increased positive affective reactions and self-reported interest in reading but had no effect on various cognitive measures of engagement. Finally, their study results suggest that the effect of choice may depend on the types of tasks being investigated."

Special Education in the Science Classroom, 2008.
This paper looks at science learning focusing on special education students.

Abstract
In this article, the writer reviews the initial negative results of science education since the inclusion of special education students in the classroom. Further, the writer looks at what lessons have been learned and can be applied to the management of similar situations in the future. The writer maintains that science, whether taught to general classrooms or special education classrooms has a unique capacity, when taught through the method of inquiry to advance the knowledge and cognition of the student with each level of learning. The writer notes that as the student becomes adept at each level of learning and advances to the next level, the student's knowledge increases, but in addition the student's capacity for learning grows. The writer notes that 'Bloom's Taxonomy' sets out a specific guide that may be effectively used by the science teacher in the special education classroom or in the general classroom that is characterized by inclusion.

"In the area of planning students ask questions and then make decisions how to search out the answers to those questions. Students use first-hand experience and simple information sources for locating answers to these questions and as well enter a thought process about the results of decisions and learn to make comparisons. In obtaining and presenting evidence the students learn to follow instructions in the lab in order to avoid risks to themselves and others and make exploration through use of the senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste as appropriate while making observations and recording those observations and measurements. Finally, students communicate their observations and findings through use of speech and writing, drawing, tables, graphs and pictures. In the application of consideration of the evidence and making evaluations, comparisons are made by students and patterns and associations are identified. Also, students make a review of their own work and go on to explain their work to other students."

From the Paper
"In addition to the aforementioned power of the superintendent and the school board, these individuals are also responsible for such things as health, nutrition and the safety of students in the case of an emergency. In most cases school superintendents have also served as teachers or school principals. Superintendents are often chosen because they have the ability to organize and bring people together. Superintendents and school boards are absolutely necessary as it relates to ensuring that the public school systems are operating effectively.
"Additionally principals and assistant principals also serve as the immediate sources over power in each public school. Principals also act as overseers to ensure that the policies established by the superintendent and the school board are implemented. Principals are also responsible for carrying out disciplinary actions when school rules are broken."

Educational Intervention, 2008.
This paper looks at educational intervention as it relates to minority groups.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in today's modern society, schools are sometimes forced to leave some children behind. However, for some multicultural students, the noble idea of not leaving a child behind has not yet been taken seriously with the general public and a lot of educational systems which includes special education. Furthermore, the writer notes that the progressions of credentials, assessment, categorization, placement, and instruction have truly meant to put down their cultural and linguistic differences. With that, it is apparent that school systems overlook multiculturalism and diversity especially in educational intervention, where the minority students are placed. The writer concludes that educational intervention is an issue in school systems because multiculturalism and diversity is not a main concern for those who are not a part of minority groups.

From the Paper
"From the above techniques, it is apparent that some of the communication techniques can be used on a minority group of children within educational intervention to break down some of the cultural barriers. For example, prompting children for good behavior and using computers as a way to communicate with minority children can be extremely helpful until a proper way of communicating between the educator and student becomes establish, which they will feel comfortable with. Once a communication technique is established, it will become easier to understand one's another culture and way of thinking. Furthermore, educational intervention would be more accepting of multiculturalism and diversity, which means no child will be left behind despite their cultural differences."

Education Case Study: Transition, 2008.
Analyzes the case study of "Frank", who is experiencing transitional problems of not only the beginning of middle school but also of moving from an urban setting to a rather austere social environment in a rural area.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper uses Bronfenbrenner's theories regarding the interplay between the environment and the individual to understand the transitional problems challenging Frank, the middle school student in this case, who also has moved to a rural area. The author points out that the challenges Frank faces are associated with his perception of disconnect between himself and his peers and with his new public school as opposed to his more challenging private school, which he previously attended. The paper suggests that Erick Erickson would assess Frank as beginning stage 5 "Identity vs. Role Confusion" as this student negotiates his needs and desires to be independent and individual while perceiving those around him as wholly unlike him and unable to understand his interests.

From the Paper
"Frank self identifies with an outsider clique whom he titles the "I don't care" group and describes as a group who doesn't care about belonging to cliques even though he admits that his school is rather cliquish. Frank may give this impression and hold these perceptions mostly because he has not grown up in this environment and therefore does not know the histories or personalities of his peers, and in the reverse they do not know his so he does not perceive himself as fitting in."

Diversity, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the sources of diversity on campus. The paper also explores the questions a sociologist may pose about the significance of diversity in the educational environment. The paper states that the student researcher believes that diverse campuses offer students more opportunities for success and greater interaction with their peers in school and abroad. The paper states further that sociology entails study and activity and acts as a methodology for describing human behaviors and cultural patterns within society. The paper comments that in the university sources of diversity include multi-cultural groups, international students, programs including those geared toward non-native speakers, and university events that promote greater acceptance of diversity and encourage participation from all walks of life.

From the Paper
"Questionnaires or informal interviews may be posed for example, to willing students during cultural fairs or events to gauge their feelings about diversity on campus. Students interested in promoting diversity may report on their experiences of diversity or the lack thereof on campus. There is increasing evidence however, that colleges and universities interested in diversifying their population are generally more accepting and created a less homogenous culture, one that is more tolerant of diverse behaviors, beliefs and systems (Anderson & Taylor, 2006). This type of environment may welcome insight and celebrate holidays known internationally rather than just domestic or national holidays. Students may be engaged in class to describe how what they are learning aligns with or does not align with the teachings and beliefs they have as part of their culture."

"In her text entitled Perspectives on Teaching K - 12 English Language Learners, author Jane M. Govoni highlights a thorough pedagogical approach to successfully teaching a complicated language to non-native speakers. In Chapter Six, which is subtitled "Making Connections", Govoni focuses on the importance of not only teaching the language, but also teaching literacy. In this chapter she stresses the importance of incorporating literature as a method of teaching language. Her belief is that language is worthless if it does not lead to literacy. According to Govoni, literacy is the ability to read and understand the meaning of the language found on a particular page. Thus, the job of the English language teacher is to teach language through literature in order to develop literacy."

Abstract
The paper outlines research that will demonstrate the need to analyze existing data and formulate new research on foreign language retention, why it occurs on a post-secondary level and what obstacles contribute to increased or reduced retention in foreign language programs. The paper first reviews the literature and discusses the methodology to be used. The paper then shows that if the system becomes more open to communication style teaching through collaboration and other learning/teaching styles, and technology in learning is adaptive and appropriate, the post-secondary foreign language academy will likely improve retention and retain diversity. The paper highlights the need for mor research in this area of foreign language study in post-secondary systems.

"As the culture in which we live becomes increasingly diverse and highly focused on globalization, concepts of foreign language teaching and learning at all levels of education become much more important. (Gerwin & Osborn, 2002, p. 80) (Whitt, Edison, Pascarella, Terenzini & Nora, 2001, p. 172) Yet, statistics of enrolment and success in post-secondary foreign language education do not seem to play out this growing necessity. "In recent years, the language-instruction profession has seen alarming declines in enrollment in languages other than Spanish .... " (Moser, 2001, p. 3) Creating systems that promote retention of individuals in foreign language learning programs at the post-secondary level is therefore crucial to the development of educators and individuals who are fully prepared for a multi-lingual community and work environment."

Abstract
This paper explains that the obesity epidemic in America can be traced as far back as infancy nutrition. The author urges that a healthy eating teaching plan, including a scheduled daily interactive "meal" time when children are encouraged to explore many nutritious options, should be part of each school day including preschool. The paper suggest that, in this manner, children will be able to use their natural play and creativity instincts to make healthy eating choices.

From the Paper
"The ability of daycare providers to offer to children healthy options on a frequent and rotating schedule, especially finger foods that are colorful and tasty and are shown by example to be easy to eat and good tasting, as they watch their other daycare friends eat such options. The teacher should offer the food, family style, in much the same way that art supplies are placed in the center of the table, appealingly and for everyone to take turns with."

Abstract
The paper discusses a study which is a comparison of teacher perspectives of the role of school guidance counselors before and after implementation of the American School Counseling Association Model (ASCA). Prior to the introduction of this model for counseling, there were no standards available nationally that examined the efficacy of school guidance counseling programs (USDOE, 2001). The U.S. Department of Education however, has worked to devise tools and methods that providers can use to measure the progress of students and support systematic improvement of curriculum and learning in and outside of the classroom.This research proposes that to facilitate exploration of the American School Counseling Association Model, it is necessary to use a qualitative case study to explore the subject.

"Goals of the program include providing a more complete model for guidance counselors through which they can reach out and assist any and all students, which may prevent failure in the academic setting, and which may become integral to student's success. Delivery systems proposed by the ASCA model include devising a curriculum for school counseling, encouraging students to plan their educational, social and career path individually, and providing support and response to student queries. To oversee student planning guidance counselors are to use a specific curriculum or criteria, which Burmaster (2007) suggests is the "vehicle" through which information can "systematically" be delivered to students and enable growth and achievement."

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal that would help determine whether development task achievement status of African-American students enrolled in College Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) leadership development programs differ from African-American students not enrolled. The study is significant because it provides insight into some of the underlying variables that may be responsible for the lack of commitment in multiple developmental task areas. The paper relates that there is a lack of research addressing how college ROTC leadership development influences the behavior and attitude development tasks of African American students. The education gap, high levels of incarceration and income differences between African American and other groups may be a result of behavior and attitude development short falls. The proposed research illustrates that attitude is linked to talk development and behavioral adjustment which is part of the requirement for making the commitment for achievement in educational attainment. Principles of military discipline and leadership are also reviewed in relation specifically to college ROTC programs, which assist in development of character among students that may be applied in management in corporate management following college.

"A fourth finding of this study was that African American students' out-of-class recreational experiences (e.g., art, music, and theater experiences, experiences in the student union) had fewer positive effects on educational outcomes than did academic-related student involvement experiences. This finding is consistent with Astin's (1993) findings that watching television was associated with negative educational outcomes for college students. Perhaps for the African American students in the current study, their out-of-class and social experiences had similar effects as did watching television in Astin's study and may have served to distract students from engaging in more developmental activities."

Abstract
The paper discusses the effective school paradigm that is learner-centered and the accelerated school paradigm that continually improves the existing methods of teaching and learning in order to motivate and encourage children to excel. The paper points out, however, that children are very adaptive and their creativity should be stimulated rather than destroyed by a set of rigid rules according to which the school is directed.

Outline:
Effective Schools
Accelerated Schools

From the Paper
"Effective schools focus on the student in his or her capacity as part of a larger community of students. The school is based upon the assumption that all children, regardless of any distinguishing differences, are allowed to participate in learning the curriculum. It is also assumed that each student, regardless of individual differences, is capable of learning the existing curriculum, and will do so."
"This is achieved by a system of team work by all parties involved in the life of the child. The school faculty, administrator, parents and community are involved in a planning and implementation process that is aimed at helping the child to perform. Such team work allows long-range planning for the improvement of the education system via reform or restructuring. The effective school system is also aimed at providing every student with access to the best quality of education."

Abstract
The paper examines the book "Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx" that describes the problems facing two young women as they mature in the Bronx. The paper focuses on three main problems facing these girls that are drugs, poverty and lack of education. The paper discusses how almost all the residents face these problems and they deal with them in similar self-destructive and defeating ways that do not lead to successful lives. The writer concludes with a personal reflection on this story.

From the Paper
"The problem areas are pervasive in the Bronx and in just about every other inner city poverty-stricken area in the country. Low-income people struggle just to survive and have little hope of ever escaping the hopelessness of their lives. The first major problem is drugs. They are everywhere in the Bronx, especially in the area where Jessica lives. About the only way to prosper in this area is to deal drugs, and the rest of the people know it. The drug dealers flaunt their wealth and status, and other residents are drawn to them because of their success and opulence."

Abstract
The paper states that over the past few years there has been a marked increase in the number of children victimized by child molesters. The paper adds that the advent and popularity of the internet has spawned a new breed of molesters that are preying upon children. The paper then discusses and examines the type of individuals that molest children and focuses on several studies and observations that have been made concerning the nature of these individuals.

Outline:
Introduction
Child Molesters and Heterosocial competence
Child Molesters that are Socially Skilled
Child Molesters Perceptions Of Early Interpersonal Relationships
Female Child Molesters
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Overall it is apparent that child molesters do not necessarily fit into one category and the reasons for the behaviors can vary greatly. However, there are some characteristics that seem to be consistent with many child molesters. In many cases they are preoccupied with being accepted, they tend to live double lives and more often then not they were sexually abused as children. One of the most disturbing findings of this research is the fact that molesters could be anyone and in many cases it is not someone that would be suspected of committing any crime against a child."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Paul Chance's book 'Learning and Behavior' provides students and teachers with some intriguing and interesting ideas about the psychology of learning. The writer points out that a general overview of the book displays the ease under which the reader can read the words and comprehend not only the meaning of the individual words, but the philosophical meaning of the words as well. Unlike many similar texts, Paul Chance's book is an easy read providing a style that allows the readers to follow along as he leads along the rosy and philosophical road to educating teachers and students in the field of learning and behavior. The writer concludes that Chance's book 'Learning and Behavior' may be one of the easiest, yet most enlightening manuscripts available on the subject of learning, and presents the material in such a manner that it immediately becomes much more understandable and a pleasure to read.

From the Paper
"Chance goes on to explain in more detail how the conditioning process works using the Pavlovian procedures. He writes of the higher-order conditioning, trace conditioning, delayed conditioning, simultaneous conditioning and backward conditioning. He provides brief but succinct descriptions of the five conditioning procedures and how Pavlovian procedures interplay with conditioning. The descriptions help the reader in gaining additional understanding of how and why individuals learn and how conditions can play a very vital role in that learning process.
"Comparing those findings to the Operant procedures is a mouthy subject but Chance does a credible job of accomplishing that task. He explains how reinforcements work when applied to operant behavior, while conditional stimulus works when applying Pavlovian procedures."
