Abstract
This paper examines how almost every teacher in America is faced with the challenge of teaching English language learners (ELL) due to the cultural diversity of this country. It discusses how it is important for all teachers to be aware of the many strategies that can be used in the classroom to help their ELL students learn not only the English language but also the rest of the academic subjects being taught to the rest of the students. The paper concludes that teaching every student successfully is vital to the future of America since today's students are tomorrows working adults.
From the Paper
"The strategy of using pre-instructional activities such as graphic organizers, semantic webbing, and mapping can be used effectively to help ELL students understand what they are learning. Before starting a reading assignment it is helpful to graph or map the information that will be discussed using a webbing format. If the reading assignment centers on a moral lesson, the teacher can guide the class through a discussion of what moral character is and what some important moral characteristics are to them. After discussing and mapping the concept of moral character with the entire class the ELL students will be more likely to understand the reading assignment. Using webbing and mapping can also help the teacher "determine where the students stand in relation to the content of the upcoming lesson" (Tips for teaching, n.d.). "

Inclusion in the Classroom, 2006.
A review of the inclusive classroom theory, aimed at helping children with learning disabilities reach their full potential.

Abstract
The paper explores the concerns of a number of researchers that the inclusive classroom is something for which the current education system is ill-prepared to facilitate (at least properly) and the paper also considers the argument of nay-sayers that the inclusive classroom creates the potential for damaging disruptions. On the other hand, the paper looks at those who favor the inclusive classroom and substantiates their favorable opinion by examining the emotional and (especially) scholastic benefits to LD students because of placement in an inclusive classroom.
From the Paper
"The following paper will examine eight scholarly sources which explore whether or not inclusive classrooms that permit learning-disabled children to learn alongside unimpaired children is worth the considerable cost of training and equipping teachers to address the special needs of these young people. As one might expect in an issue of this complexity, both sides of the debate must examined. Consequently, the first half of the paper will explore the difficulties that the inclusive classroom creates - at least in the considered view of critics."

Abstract
This paper proposes a research project that would examine the effectiveness of English instruction of mathematics on Second Grade ELL (English language learners) students as compared to the effectiveness of instruction in their native language. The proposal is in response to the controversy surrounding the issue of how best to teach mathematics to children from non-English-speaking backgrounds, since it has been found that the best way for children to learn to use mathematics to organize, understand, compare, and interpret their experiences is by making a connection between mathematics and their everyday lives. The paper examines whether ELL students should be taught how to make this connection in their native language with gradual exposure to English in language classes, or whether they should be immersed in English as early as possible. The paper includes an annotated bibliography and an observation checklist of lessons taught in class.

From the Paper
"Mathematics is a powerful tool for interpreting the world. Research has shown that for children to learn how to use mathematics to organize, understand, compare, and interpret their experiences, mathematics must be connected to their lives. Such connections help students to make sense of mathematics and view it as relevant. There has, however, been controversy with regard to children from non-English backgrounds and the best ways to get them to make those connections. Questions are raised regarding how to instruct these children who are referred to as English language learners (ELL?s). Should they initially be taught in their native language with gradual exposure to English in language classes, or should they be immersed in English as early as possible."

Abstract
This paper explains that inclusion is educating all children with disabilities in regular classrooms, regardless of the nature of their disabling condition, by providing necessary services within the regular schools and by having students with disabilities follow the same schedules as their peers. The paper then presents arguments for and against such inclusion. The paper suggests that the research upholds the position that the general classroom is the right place to support students with disabilities even when their behaviour presents significant challenges. Both the students with disabilities and their school-age peers benefit from full inclusion. A comparison table of the pro and con arguments on inclusion is included with the paper.

From the Paper
"Emily Eaton was a severely disabled student who was enrolled in the neighbourhood school. She received support, but was a part of a regular classroom. After three years of struggling to meet her needs in a regular class, the school board felt that Emily would be better served in a special segregated class. Her parents appealed to the special education appeal board, however they upheld decision to place her in a segregated program. The Eatons then appealed to the Ontario Divisional Court, which dismissed the application."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Elementary level children range in age of four all the way to sometimes twelve years of age. These students are at a crucial time in both their personality and physical development. Generally, teachers may spend more waking hours with these children than their parents do so it is crucial that teachers work as effectively as possible. Most of this effectiveness is keeping organization in the classroom through good management skills. In order to adequately manage the elementary level classroom the teacher must look at organizing their classroom and supplies, choosing rules and procedures, managing student work, planning and conducting instruction, maintaining appropriate student behavior and managing problem behaviors, and managing special groups."

"A third method for integrating culturally specific reading materials into the curriculum is through writing assignments. There are hundreds of ideas for writing assignments and projects that could help to further cultural understanding. For instance, the students might be asked to write an argumentative essay from the viewpoint of another culture. Examples of writing prompts might be to have white students write a story from the perspective of a runaway slave, or for the black students to write from the perspective of a plantation owner. This could be a powerful exercise because they must step outside of their own experience into the shoes of someone else. Many students will find this assignment difficult, but it could be a power ful experience. Assignments that let the students get personal with the other culture will help them develop a greater understanding of their likenesses and differences."

From the Paper
"Dealing with molding behavior for a multicultural group is very similar to any group of students. Children need to feel respected and involved to behave appropriately. When diversity enters the classroom respect comes through cross-cultural understanding. The teacher can facilitate respect by modeling and reinforcing appropriate behavior (Burnette, 1999). There will be some students in the classroom that come from a multi-cultural household. These students have already crossed the barriers of diversity and are wonderful role models for uneducated students."

From the Paper
Harris (1996) suggests that schools? institutionalised practices create educational advantages or disadvantages for students. It is predominantly students from low socio-economic backgrounds who choose or are channelled into the non-academic streams, thus limiting their chances of entry into tertiary education and ultimately professional careers. Hatton (1994) and Malin (Hatton, 1994) describe how schools can systematically disadvantage groups in society. Hatton reveals ways in which underprivileged families or those not from the middle class do not always comprehend their rights as parents in pursuing grievances. Malin states that intelligence and standardised academic achievement tests are culturally biased and she appeals for teachers? pedagogy to be more sensitive to cultural differences.

From the Paper
"According to Joy Rogers of Phi Delta Kappa's Center for Evaluation, Development, and Research (1993), there are two types of inclusion. Regular inclusion refers to the ?commitment to educate each child, to the maximum extent appropriate, in the school and classroom he or she would otherwise attend.? The concept involves bringing support services to the child, rather than taking the child out of the regular classroom for services (York, et al. 1993). A second form of inclusion is called full inclusion. This concept refers to placing the students, despite any handicapping condition and regardless of the severity, in a regular classroom permanently (Rogers, 1993). All services must be taken to the child in the classroom setting."

Abstract
This paper discusses the social and political perspectives being at odds over diversity in education and how since the events of September 11 2001, attitudes to education have changed. It examines how renewed vigilance of patriotism and Americanism, can be seen in the ideal of requiring an English-only learning environment, almost regardless of immigration rates and societal needs whereas others see September 11th as a wake up call for the American education system to embark on the teaching of a more multicultural nature. It evaluates how teaching principles of democracy and foundational American cultural ideals is not only important but is crucial as is the ideal of tolerance.
From the Paper
"The social and political context of diversity as it applies to education seems to be in a point of confusion. The conservative movement in favor of the English only classroom in publicly funded schools has been fueled by the terrorist events that occurred in September of 2001. Those same events also fuel the cause of diversity in education in both a social and a historical sense. Though these two issues are not by any means the same they do reflect attention in very separate areas of educational trend setting. Even before the September 11th events occurred the backlash toward multicultural education had taken a strong hold on the political perspective."

"Importance of Diversity and Inclusion in Hiring and Staffing a Sales Force For the Year 2000 and Beyond
Introduction
The continuing trend of change in the ethnic and racial make-up of the population in the United States, together with trends in the social, political, and judicial environments in the last years of the twentieth century, are combining to increase the complexity of the human resource managerial task. This trend is not only increasing the diversity of the population from which sales employees are drawn, but also is leading to greater ethnic and racial balance, as minority population groups increase proportionally while the majority European-American population segment decreases proportionally.
Managers can no longer ignore the fact that the nation?s..."
