Reflection

After having my paper reviewed by my peers, I feel pretty excited about there comments.  They said that the flow of the paper was great, and the only major problems that I had is citing things that I've paraphrased.  I know now that I'm on the correct path, and feel even more confident about writing more.

This just talks about students with dyslexia and how you (as a teacher) can help them in the classroom setting.

  This is a source that I found through the UC library.  It talks about dyscalculia, the cousin of dyslexia.  This is a learning disability where people have problems with learning mathematics specifically.

This is an article about seven ways to teach technology, for those students who are resistant to writing or for those who struggle.

Inclusion

I'm finding a lot of information on inclusion in education and why it came about.  I believe this will be useful because my audience is more so for parents who may not understand or know the terminalogy used in the education world.

Furthering my research

Policy guidelines on inclusion in education- http://unesdoc.unesco/org/images/0017/001778/177849e.pdf
  This allows me to understand more information on inclusion.  It gives rationale, objectives and developments on inclusion.  This will be helpful for me so that I make my point across when explaining to my audience.
Another source that I looked at was http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea02/pg1.html#sec1001
 This was a source that I ended up using this far and it's just the legal document and the purpose of why it was implemented.

Inclusion vs. pullout

Still researching my topic I found some new websites that I really enjoy and think will be beneficial and effective in my paper.  Most of them consist where inclusive classrooms came about and why they were implemented into the schools.
