As I begin my final project for this English 102 course, I am reflecting on all of the work I have done in one semester that feels like two weeks. At the beginning, I was honestly stressed and anxious about this course. Throughout high school, I was happily in my comfort zone with my teachers I knew on a personal level, including how they graded and what they expected. Now at the end of this course, I can say that I do feel proud of my progress throughout the class. I feel accomplished in my ability
Burns & Hamm went on to research in an elementary school in West New York that compared virtual manipulatives to concrete manipulatives within the third and fourth grade mathematics courses with the background that concrete manipulatives appear to be widely accepted by math educators for several years based on Clements, (1999); Suydam, (1985); Suydam & Higgins, (1977). 54 fourth grade students were beginning the subject of symmetry. 25 of these students used virtual manipulatives in the study while

Introduction In this analysis, evaluation, and synthesis assignment, a research topic related to the fields of early childhood education and child development will be introduced. Two scholarly journal articles were analyzed and synthesized to increase this writer’s understanding of ongoing practices of reading assessments from 1990 to the present years. It is not known if or to what extent the effectiveness of reading assessment practices has upon accurately scoring students’ overall reading performance
STUDENT AT RISK AND WITH DISABILITIES Recently, CAI has become an acceptable instructional strategy to provide several academic outcomes for at-risk students and those with disabilities. Even though there has been research on the effects and implications of CAI on students without disabilities, there is limited research evidence about the effects of CAI on students with disabilities. Ross et al., (1991) assessed the effects of CAI on students’ attitudes toward school, grades, computer skills
into effective instructional strategies to ensure fifth grade mathematics readiness. This two-part study investigates what teachers consider to be key elements in instructional design and implementation to support mathematics curriculum across the elementary grade levels. It will also investigate specific mathematics skills that teachers believe should be taught and reinforced each year from kindergarten through fifth grade. Due to the constant changes to the national and state education programs
