Abstract
This paper discusses Booker T. Washington, who was an excellent example of change for his race and for the nation, during a significantly difficult period of US history. The paper discusses the Tuskegee Normal and Vocational Institute which was created by Washington and the purpose of the institution. The paper specifically focuses on how Washington worked for the education of Black people in America and the personal philosophy he applied to his work.
From the Paper
"Though some have said that the ever cheery manner in which Washington addressed the world, through his orations was a pacification of sorts that was intended to glean support for his school, rather than tell the nature of his real standing on the issue of the education of blacks. Regardless the development of Tuskegee as a cornerstone for the development of other educational offerings for blacks in the south was of significant impact to nation, as more and more people began to appreciate the need to elevate former slaves and their children and grandchildren to a level of opportunity that would have higher forms later. Washington was clearly a pacifist by nature, and he had a sense of the need to take short steady strides toward opportunity, as those who still held the power and the resources would be guided, little to his side if he insulted and cajoled them for an institution, that many had fought to eradicate."

From the Paper
" The purpose is to let the students know what the rules, procedures, expectations and consequences are. In a sense, it is the teacher's way of making a lasting first impression. Suggested Accommodations and Modifications:With an instructional and behavioral strategy that focuses on establishing clear expectations and standards both for the classroom as a whole and for each individual (through the development of IEPs), it is clear that such a strategy will have to be modified in order to function properly at different age groups and with different disabilities."

"The community chosen for this research is located south of San Francisco, Santa Cruz, California. The town has a markedly rural population. In 1956, the current district was created through the combining of five separate districts into one. Some of these districts had beginnings long before the Gold Rush of 1849. The current population is 173,339 people spread over 199.5 square kilometers. There are 62,400 families depending or will be depending on New City's only school district in the future, a district of 31,530 students (New City California Resource Guide, 2003). To accommodate these children, there are 27 elementary schools, five junior high schools, and six high schools. The average home costs about $600,000. The major language groups are: English (42%), Spanish (50%), and Mandarin (8%), (FUSD, Office of Federal and State Projects, 2007). The neighborhood is working-class and a recent census indicated that close to one-third of the population fell below the poverty line. There has been a long history of domestic violence and the divorce rate is quite high in this community. These factors might contribute to the high occurrence of violence in the local school system."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that multiculturalism in education is an essential element in shaping America's increasingly diverse society. The writer notes that different ethnic, linguistic, racial, and religious groups bring to the contemporary world a wide range of experiences and viewpoints. The writer points out that immigrants who do not speak English fluently are often wrongly tracked toward special education programs, or even tagged as mentally disabled. They are denied even the opportunities for education and advancement. The writer then discusses that multiculturalism seeks to expand the horizons of all Americans through a comprehensive program of showing off the histories and strengths of all the diverse people who comprise the American mosaic. While looking also at its shortcomings, the writer maintains that multiculturalism opens the eyes of students and teachers alike, and lets them know that there are other ways of looking at our society.

From the Paper
"A lack of tolerance and respect for diversity frequently results in stigmatization and permanent problems down the road. Members of minority groups with limited proficiency in the English language are commonly single out as learning disabled. Though these individual's limited success in traditional course of English literature, and reading writing, may largely be ascribed to their never having attend full fluency in the English language, or to their community's use of English on a level that in to consonant with school standards, these considerations are nevertheless ignored, and the person is labeled learning disabled. Caroline T. Clark cites one case of a young Latina in Los Angeles who, in college, was declared to possess a learning disability in reading. The parameters used to make this determination ignored other possible factors, but even worse, they ignored the objective criteria that should be used in the making of such a determination."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of middle school reform. It specifically focuses on what a middle school is and what the original purpose of creating such an institution was. The paper looks at how the middle schools were created to meet the unique needs of young people who are neither young children nor sexually mature adolescents. The paper then looks at how teachers are often not specifically trained to meet the needs of the middle school students.
From the Paper
"Rather than standardized testing other theorists have also stressed the need for more rigorous certification of middle school teachers in specific subject areas, combined with a team-based approach to learning, so that students can learn to see interdisciplinary connections between math and science, for example, or literature and the arts. Having more than one teacher teach classes solves the problem of striking a balance of a close classroom environment and creating a high school-like atmosphere where different teachers for different subjects (Clark & Clark, 1993). Team teaching is ideal to keep the holistic approach that is characteristic of elementary school and to prepare students for the segmented days of junior and senior high. Varied instruction techniques to help with transitioning to high school and the diversity of educational methodologies employed by different teachers, and allowing students to explore personal interests are all important in creating a positive attitude towards learning and school (Clark, 1993)."

Abstract
The paper summarizes and reviews the research article, "Pediatric Physical Activity and Fitness" by Anne Downs Mejiais, about the harms done to childhood fitness through the elimination of in-school Physical Education (PE) classes. The paper explains the focus of the article, why the author of the article thought it was an important topic to study, and the primary research question. The paper also explains and describes the studies referenced in the paper as well as the advantages of the approach taken by the author of the research.
Outline:
Part I: Comprehensive overview of the "Introduction" and "Literature Review"
Part II: Summary and answer of research questions
From the Paper
"The author reviews such substantiated research to underline the fact that the idea that children are growing less fit and fatter is not simple media hysteria and that physical movement as well as diet has a role in this decline in childhood fitness. Furthermore, she feels there is an inaccurate culture assumption "that solely by virtue of their ages, children experience sufficient amounts of activity. Even very young children are at risk. In a recent report, it was found that only16% of kindergarten programs provide daily PE". In short, kids are no longer getting exercise simply by being kids."

Abstract
This paper proposes a research to study to find out the impact that using technology has on the learning/reading skills of low level student with special needs. Specifically, the topics to be addressed by the research are how technology is currently used in today's classrooms to enhance the reading/learning skills of low level students with special needs and how teachers can better integrate technology into instructions of low level students of special needs. The paper contends that the research will add to existing literature on the role of technology in education. Also, one practical implication of the research is that it can change the way educational-providers deal with low level students with special needs.

"Use of technology has helped some students in acquiring better literacy/reading skills; whereas it has hindered the learning of others. Fisher and Molebash and Speaker found technology as an assistive tool. Martin and Doering, Hughes, and Huffman found technology to hinder the learning process. With billions being spent on education each year and with so many schools adapting technology as a means of delivering lectures, it is imperative to come up with accurate and consistent results which give a holistic picture of the use of technology."

Abstract
This paper presents the writer's findings from a research project undertaken on behalf of the New York State Education Department (NYSED). The paper reviews the department's Web-based services to assess whether NYSED's Web site (www.nysed.gov) was following commonly accepted best practices and to determine how NYSED e-services compared to those of other states. The paper also looks at current teacher salaries in New York in order to gauge whether New York teachers are being compensated fairly compared to teachers in other states.

E-service Recommendations
From the Paper
"Finally, I would recommend that NYSED improve its Web services through a redesign of its Web site to make it easier to use. In particular, the home page needs to look cleaner by offering less text and more white space. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. First, NYSED can stop running extensive summaries of the current events pieces that currently dominate the middle of the home page. By simply offering clickable headlines, without accompanying text, NYSED can greatly reduce the amount of space that current events occupy on the home page. The headlines could perhaps even be placed into a small box, which would allow a great deal of content that currently runs at the bottom of the page to be bumped "above the fold." That includes valuable content, such as links to the state Board of Regents Web site and a site for individuals with disabilities. In fact, many of these links that currently appear at the bottom of the home page could be placed in a drop-down menu that could be accessed without having to scroll down the page."
