When a classroom is mainstreamed the Iraqi students may need special assistance in the areas of communication such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking (Hurley, 2003). A mainstreamed classroom that incorporates multiple languages can overcome communication barriers. One way is to use peer-to-peer learning, in this case a strong English speaking learner paired with an Iraqi student (Sears, 1998).
Section 2: Critical views on Mainstream Teaching Practice in the Australian Secondary Classroom
The literature review has also gleaned that a mainstreamed teaching practice would encourage multiple lingual educators in a single classroom to create a beneficial experience for the 2nd language learners. If two educators work together successfully it may become a beneficial experience for the 2nd language learners. The 2nd language learners may feel more comfort and security by having an educator or educators that can communicate with them in his or her primary language (Hurley, 2003). In a society that stresses a well trained workforce the 2nd language learner's graduation numbers must begin to grow. Australia has had many issues deeply rooted because many of the citizens lacking the necessary communication skills to compete in a global job market (Edwards, 2007). In addition, because of the standards-based teacher education system that relies on of 2nd language learners with respect to a mainstreamed teaching practice.

Rationale of Study According to De Valero (2001), "Given the high costs associated with graduate education, the current national climate of diminishing resources for higher education, and an increased competition for these resources between undergraduate and graduate programs, understanding and examining the factors that affect students' ability to complete their degree requirements in a timely manner and considering the implications of these factors becomes crucial" (p. 341).

0. Literature review on Differentiation and engagement in computer science classrooms Computer science offers educators aiming towards differentiated teaching within the secondary schoolroom setting a distinctive series of challenges. In particular, coding may prove to be a rigorous, exacting field that calls for a demonstration of organization and precision on the part of students before they can effectively create even the simplest programs. Computer science classes will probably witness learners utterly unfamiliar
Pre-Course Program for Entry-Level Online Adult Students Distance education is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing segments of college and graduate level education. Many educational institutions with long histories of traditional classroom-based learning opportunities are expanding their programs to include distance-based learning via the Internet. In fact, many colleges and universities have invested heavily in their distance education programs. Courses for distance learners are offered in an array of
Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research
The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
Nursing Theory Analysis Theory-based nursing is the phenomenon that has been researched much during the past two decades. Nursing theory has become the foundation for nursing practice with its own knowledge base. The current paper is an analysis of King's theory of goal attainment. King acquired her goal attainment theory model from an interpersonal system and a behavioral science. The nurse and patient communicate to achieve a common goal of patient
