In summary, successful multicultural programs are the ones that keep in mind these long-term goals, ensuring that education keeps in mind the need for both the academic and social success of all its students.
Continuing challenges

The fact that multicultural education has proved successful, however, does not erase the need for continued assessment and improvement. After all, as the student population changes, there will be concomitant new demands placed on the educational system as a whole.

One of the markers used to measure the success of multicultural education has been the increase in percentage of minority first-generation college students. Proponents of multicultural education recognize that a successful school program goes beyond traditional academic content. Rather, the most successful programs are the ones that strive towards a "learning community," one that makes students and community members into active participants in their own education. At college and university level, where students are often away…...

He seems to be curious about what kind of options he has in life. He sees his sister enjoying herself very much in her studies and relationships developed at the conservatory and he wants some of those same things for himself. Shawn has shown somewhat of an increased interest in learning to socialize because of his growing interest in girls and romantic relationships. He wants to be evaluated in so far as he has interest in how his social skills and social intelligence stand up to his peers.
Shawn has accepted that he will be evaluated periodically. He does not show overt resistance to his evaluation, and he does not show overt excitement about it, either. He was mostly cooperative with the evaluation team. He expressed that he did not think many of his classmates liked him or even knew who he was. He mentioned that he recently became interested…...

Organization Diversity (H)
Organization education programs

Organization Education Programs (OEPs) are employee benefit projects offered by numerous employers. OEPs are expected to assist employees manage personal or work related issues that may unfavorably affect their work performance, well-being or health. These programs usually incorporate temporary counseling, career growth and development and referral courses for employees.

Numerous organizations are confronted with the issue of employer retention. It is costly to replace an employer who is lured by other companies. New replacements must be hired, identified and oriented before being trained. It is estimated that it could cost a company two times the salary of an employee who has vacated. Employee turnover can have an unsettling impact on a conglomeration, and it might likewise intensely sway the overall productivity of the conglomeration (Petrie, 2013). This comes to be significantly more basic in organizations which are services oriented like firefighters and law enforcement, in need of…...

Individualized Education Programs (IEP) are designed to give child with special needs the services they require in order to benefit from formal education. Without these IEPs the children are not "playing on a level field" so to speak. The determination of the goals for a child in an IEP is briefly discussed.
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) must be developed within 30 calendar days after a child in the classroom according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IEPs are not static, but every year after the IEP is developed the IEP team must meet to review the progress of the child towards their specific learning goals and develop new set new learning goals if needed (Volpiansky et al. 2010). The team would consist of the parents of the child, at least one of the teachers, at least one special education teacher of the child or one special education provider,…...

Medical Education on Interdisciplinary Staff Practice
The research question I am addressing is the impact of continuing medical education on interdisciplinary staff practice. Researchers of the past decade produced systematic reviews of continuing medical education (CME) and other strategies intended to improve patient outcomes. The subjects of the reviews included such concepts as audit and feedback, chart-based reminders, clinical practice guidelines, and formal lectures. Defined as interventions to change interdisciplinary staff practice, the effects of those strategies were inconsistent across practitioners, settings, and behaviors. As a result, in the midst of contemporary discussions about quality improvement and the effects of continuing education, there is no singularly effective method for improving interdisciplinary staff performance.

According to Michael Bartone's article "Cultural applications: Ideas for teacher education programs," adequate preparation for teachers demands a multifaceted approach to the instructor's education. It is not enough for teachers to merely be academically competent at teaching their subject matter. Future teachers must also have an awareness of the cultural and socioeconomic background of the students they are instructing. While the population of white students is declining, the population of non-Caucasian students is increasing across the nation, and this trend is likely to continue. However, given that the population of non-white teachers has remained steady, this means there is a vast discrepancy between the appearance and more importantly the background of the population doing the instructing and the population they are teaching.

To address this problem, Bartone states, requires a multifaceted solution. First and foremost, colleges of…...

Why Mentees Feel Socially Supported from Peer Mentorship Compare and Contrast Essay:  Peer Mentors
Lucas and James (2018) evaluate the effect of specialist mentoring on college students with autism and other mental health conditions and found that mentees receive academic, social and emotional support from their mentors. However, the researchers also observed group differences between those with autism and those with other mental health issues. What makes a relationship between mentor and mentee work best according to the findings of Lucas and James (2018) is when the relationship is customized to fit the needs of the mentee: tailored relationships that focus on developing a personal relationship, empowering the mentee and constructing a “bridge” that enables the mentee to become more involved in the university experience were all seen as significant and powerful ways for the mentee to benefit from peer mentoring. The researchers also concluded the mentors benefited from peer mentorship as…...

(Fink, Krugman, Casey, and Goode, 2008) the work of Spencer (2008) entitled: "Increasing RN-NS Enrollments: Facilitating Articulation through Curriculum Reform' states that increasing enrollments in nursing programs is one method to deal with the shortage of nurses. However, the majority of these new graduates will be educated at the associate degree in nursing level. The need to increase the number of nurses educated at the baccalaureate level is significant. Research has shown…...

Type 2 Diabetes among Asian Americans: Effectiveness of a Culturally Tailored Diabetes Education ProgramPICOT question: In Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes (P), does a culturally tailored diabetes education program, including patient-specific dietary and lifestyle modifications, (I) reduce A1C levels (O) after 2 months (T) versus a control group of Asian Americans?Literature eviewAccording to Nguyen, Fischer, Ha, and Tran (2015), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a growing epidemic in the United States. This is further collaborated by Wang, Wang, and Chan (2013) who observe that the condition is not only a concern in the United States but also across the world. This, according to the authors, is more so the case given that Type 2 diabetes has been associated with multiple complications and comorbidities. Some of the well-documented complications of type 2 diabetes include, but they are not limited to, nerve damage and heart disease.To demonstrate just how serious…...

The hospital used for the study already had protocols in place to prevent patients from getting pneumonia. Published data was provided and posters were placed in all units. However, the nurses chose not to follow the protocols set forth. This is the reason the study was conducted. The nurses confessed that they felt oral care was more of a comfort to the patients than a preventative measure to pneumonia. The really did not take the time to learn that improper oral care in these patients lead to the excessive growth of bacteria which eventually found its way down the respirator tube and into the patient's lungs causing pneumonia. Once the nurses went through formal evidence-based program and followed the proper protocol, the rate of ventilator pneumonia decreased by 50%.

Providing proper training in addition to the posters displayed helped to reinforce the significance of proper oral care for their patients. The…...

As Moore continues, he notes, "Such time spent in designing and producing high-quality materials, planning teaching strategies, training trainers will increase the chances of success. There is a direct relationship between the institutional the effectiveness of a program and the time and money spent in its design" (Moore,). He cannot overstress the importance of this early design and strategy, and without it, the class will never be as strong or as instructional to the student.
How to implement this strong foundation is another element of this tip. Clearly, the designer and the instructor have to be on the same page. The instructor may not be familiar with distance learning on a large scale, and in that case, they should receive training and education on how to effectively develop distance learning course materials. It is a skill, and not one everyone automatically understands, and so expert training should be available. Moore…...

The United Kingdom (and Northern Ireland) used to provide free higher education to all native Brits, but contemporary economic realities have forced UK and Northern Ireland colleges and universities to charge up to the approximate equivalent of $6,000 annually to offset the enormous cost of education. Unlike Canada, Britain provides higher education at the same price for students from Continental European nations but charges students from other nations more than the maximum allowed to be charged to UK students (Ciccone & Peri, 2006). Unlike in the U.S., there are few opportunities to earn scholarships to UK colleges and universities. Similarly, higher education in Southern Ireland costs only the approximate equivalent of $2,000 in the form of registration and related fees for students from Ireland and the European Union.

A presentation would accompany the lecture, after which seminar participants would be allowed to ask questions in a traditional format.

est Virginia's State education department has established English Language Proficiency ELP standards. A student is classified as an English Language Learner if their English proficiency is limited. In est Virginia a limited English proficient (LEP) is classified as such in accordance with the federal government definition as established by section Public Law 107-110, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
In addition once a student has been identified as an English Language Learner, they are assessed each year using the est Virginia Test for English Language Learners (ESTELL). These assessment measures the progress that the student has made during the school year. Students who score high enough can be identified as English Language Proficient (ELP). ESTELL is the tool that schools in est Virginia use to monitor ELL over time.
