Across the United States, increasing numbers of children whose first language, culture, and/or heritage is not English are being served in classrooms where English is the primary language in instruction. English Language Learners (ELLs) represent more than 5 million students in the United States, of which seventy-five percent are only Spanish-speaking. Many ELLs are facing the challenge of overcoming a language barrier to be academically successful, causing a risk of failure in increasing literacy demands. For educators working with ELLs in general education-related settings, their mission is to identify the root cause of their ELL student’s reading difficulties before they …

This study examined the academic and social benefits of a push-in, inclusive education for students with special needs and their general education peers. Previous research has demonstrated that the use of cooperative learning groups can be an effective strategy for inclusion. The focus of this study was on cooperative learning groups in an inclusive classroom. This strategy was …

Furthermore, Dr. Jonathan Haidt’s Moral Foundations Theory, which contends that all humans use five foundations when engaging in moral decision-making, will be used as a framework to analyze the selected states’ curricula. The purpose of this research study then, is to …

Results from this qualitative study included insight into the types of training professionals receive, level of support from administration, and behaviors exhibited from students. Four themes emerged from this mixed-methods research: lack of trauma training, high caseloads, compassion fatigue, …
