California's Impact Of Attrition Practices On Latinx English Learners, Dulce Ramirez
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

This group of participants provide deeper insights into multiculturalism within the classrooms. After interviewing an administrator and staff members, three different actions …

Educating College Students’ About Laws Regarding Children With Disabilities, Desirey Contreras
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
Many individuals may be unaware of the laws regarding children with disabilities.

This project focuses on educating college students about laws regarding children with disabilities. The project was executed completely asynchronously. Participants were given three learning outcomes to meet and successfully met …
