For ESL students, services must be provided to allow them to further their education in English. There are several proven methods to accomplish this goal; the first is to create "buddy systems" within the school, where ESL students are able to find an older or same age student who speaks their native language. This has proven to be the best integration method to allow ESL students at the Elementary school level to begin developing the ability to integrate their native language with English. At the same time, special ESL teachers must be on hand to be able to deal with the inevitable miscommunication issues that will come up for ESL students. Finally, for students with behavioral problems, a much more delicate approach must be taken. At the elementary level, students will not voluntarily admit or seek assistance with behavioral problems, "The appearance of behavioral disorders is increasing dramatically in our K-12 classrooms. As a result their presence severely constrains the ability of the school systems to educate students effectively."(Strategies, npg). An active counseling staff would be mandatory within this arena to assist students in finding out the precise problems that affect such students. Overall, the services necessary for a successful resource room must be matched with the specific needs of the students. Resources are another integral part for the success of the elementary resource room. For special education students with disabilities, the resources needed are multifold. First and foremost, there must be equipment that will help those with physical disabilities learn how to cope with their situation within the elementary school environment, as well as find interest in learning to overcome their disabilities. Exceptionally well trained teachers and educators will be the most important resource for these children, because they will need to be taught through no conventional techniques. For ESL students it is extremely important to identify the language proficiency that they are currently at and then use different resources to help them advance their English skills. The first step would be to have specially trained teachers who specialize in ESL. The resources necessary include reading material that will help identify the current...
Another step is to have access to a wide variety of reading materials in other languages to encourage such children to find interest in reading comprehension and thus, to transition from their native language to English. Finally, for children with behavioral problems, counselors must be on hand who can adequately understand and develop a strong connection with these children to begin understanding the problems that cause the core behavioral conflict. In general, resources within the resource room must mirror the students that the room is intended to serve. The greater variety of educational material as well as teachers will be the key to having a successful resource room. Having such resources and materials can often be extremely expensive. However, a resource room also has the advantage of combining all of the needs of students into one efficient location. This can actually save schools much more money than they would otherwise have spent by fragmenting such services into varying departments and separate offices.
Moore shared this insight with other children's-book writers, librarians and editors, including Elinor Sinette, Franklin Folsom, Mary Elting Folsom, Frances Keene, Stanley Faulkner and Sylvia Faulkner" (Kohl, 1991). Later on the Council on Interracial Books for Children was founded by Moore and they made it their cause to highlight the flaws in the text books. The council not only supported reform but it also became an example of an interracial
School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been
I have worked in research and DNA analysis in formal laboratory analysis, and believe in the paradigm of lifelong learning. I am a lifelong student, and each year realize how many wonderful new ideas need exploring; how many exciting and vital places visited through reading; and how much joy I receive simply by having the right set of tools that allow me to read, research, study, analyze, and make decisions

Foreign Language Education in High School The world has about 6,000 different languages, give or take a few. Linguists predict that at least half of those may have disappeared by the year 2050, which means languages are becoming extinct at twice the rate of endangered animals and four times the rate of endangered birds. Predictions are that a dozen languages may dominate the world of the future at best. (Ostler,
School Choice Program This study aimed to determine the impact of school choice through a comparative study of two private schools, which serve primarily, or exclusively African-American students, and a public school. Data in student achievement in math and reading and data on student attendance were used to determine the impact of choosing a school. Qualitative data derived from interviews with administrators and faculty as well as classroom observation were used to
