Is Every Teacher a Special Needs Teacher?
PORTFOLIO ENTRY 1 EVERY TEACHER IS A SPECIAL NEEDS TEACHER Many acknowledge the work of teachers to be socially and economically important, yet the work of teachers is also very complex. As I have learned this year, teaching is not just about teaching a subject, having good classroom control or attaining good examination results. There are also wider moral and social purposes to be considered. As Dayton notes, teachers cannot limit their work to the classroom only, leaving the larger setting and purposes of schooling to be determined by others. They must take active responsibility for the goals to which they are committed to, and for the social setting in which these goals appear.1 The term 'integration' is sometimes used interchangeably with the term 'inclusion'. However Ainscow has noted that integration tends to involve the school making a limited number of changes while inclusion, though incorporating many of the principles of integration, places more emphasis on the necessity for schools to examine their current policy and implement changes in order to meet the needs of all their pupils.2 The goal of inclusion is not to erase differences but to enable all students to belong within an educational community without prejudice.3 This, it is argued will breakdown the barriers which exist and lead to all children being valued equally. In recent years, there has been a
The Problem of Hell.
Gregory J. D. Light Dr. S. Baldner Philosophy 240:00 1.22.2004 The Problem of Hell The existence of a place for those who are corrupt and sinful, a place so full of misery and pain, a home to agony for all eternity is frightful for anyone to imagine. It has many names and connections with religions - the most common name in Western Christian culture is Hell. For centuries, this abode of the damned has put fear into the hearts of Christians, keeping them aligned with the ethical and moral view of their faith. While Hell is a very real problem for many Christians, perhaps it is not what it seems to be. It is an entirely different plane of existence from that which is most commonly thought of: the usual fire and brimstone, the crackle of eternal fires and demons that tirelessly torture souls for the rest of time. Richard Swinburne, Stephen T. Davis and Marilyn McCord Adams all have written articles interpreting who it is who is exiled to Hell, and what exactly Hell is. I agree with them for the most part with who is sent there, but I think that Hell is something much different than the traditional view that Christians hold. In Stephen T. Davis' essay "Universalism, Hell and the Fate of the Ignorant", he argues that while Universalism, the belief that all will be rescued, is a good idea it is not plausible. He is himself a Separationist; one who believes some will

Aadishwar Apparels Industry Chosen: Manufacturing Industry Overview: The garment industry of India is principally in the small-scale sector (SSI). Almost 80 per cent of the industry belongs to this sector. As per definition of an industry in SSI, investment in plant and machinery has to below Rs 5 crore. The knitted garment sector has made rapid strides since 1998 and overtaken the woven garment sector in terms of the volume of production. This sector too has the potential to increase forex earnings of the country. The garment industry in India is a $23 billion industry (at the current rate of exchange of Rs 44 = $). Like its textile counterpart, this industry also comprises the organized and unorganized sector. The unorganized sector largely consists of job workers who carry out jobs given by their principals, under their supervision. The organized sector generally consists of units having a minimum of 10 sewing machines under one roof. This sector also covers large brands having in the vicinity with overseas partners. The organized sector is, by and large, update with modern technology, has economies of scale, is cost-competitive and is in a position to execute orders on time. The garment industry produces over 100 varieties of garments for different end-uses. Additionally, a section of the industry concentrates on manufacture of ethnic garments, or what are
Cambridge - The four As
The four As (access, amenities, attractions and ancillary services) can be used to investigate the provision of tourism at a destination. Using information gathered from panel discussions in week 2 and 3 of the course and from information gathered during the field trip, you are required to critically evaluate the provision of tourism in Cambridge and to identify the ways in which government policy and strategy has affected this provision. It is difficult to decide which one of the Cooper's four As is the most important, but considering the reason why people travel the attractions are definitely significant element of leisure tourism to a destination. Attractions are created to bring people to them and to provide them enjoyment and education as well as to fulfil their leisure and recreational necessitates. There are different sorts of attractions, for example favourable climate might be the key attraction for somebody (Mediterranean destinations) whereas for the majority of people there are historic cities (Athens), natural attractions (The Grand Canyon) and entertainment centres (Alton Tower) (Mill and Morrison 1992). Amenities including accommodation are also essential element of tourism industry within destination because it contributes to the country's economy. The quality and range of that component vary depending on customer's needs and expectations. It includes hotels,
Can Psychological Stress Cause Physical illness?
Can Psychological Stress Cause Physical illness? Stress is a fundamental human coping mechanism for dealing with threats and adjusting to new (often sudden) changes in the demands of the environment. Fundamentally it can be described as an individual's perception of the balance between the demands placed on them and their ability to cope with those demands. Stress is supposed to engage the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) system infrequently and in short bursts, as a survival technique. In this capacity it is highly useful and generally has no long term physiological consequences. It is only when the stress becomes chronic, being activated intensely and frequently, that problems can arise. Seyle (1973) describes the affect of prolonged stress as a three-stage process, which he calls 'General Adaptation Syndrome' (GAS). The first stage is alarm reaction, in which the fight or flight response is activated, causing blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate to all rise to levels which cannot be maintained long term. The second stage is resistance, this is where the body attempts to compensate for these increased levels, but they remain well above normal. Finally, the exhaustion stage is suggested to see the suppression of the immune system as well as illness and possible psychological damage. Much research has established that there is a significant correlation between

The way in which capital structure of companies may be affected by constraints in the availability of funds 4. Trade off Theory 5. Pecking order Theory 6. Conclusion 7. References Introduction Nowadays, the capital structure of most companies has to depend heavily on the availability of particular sources of funds which is incompatible to the Modligliani and Miller theorem. In the next section, the idea of the Modigliani and Miller's theorem on capital structure will be discussed. The issues of the capital structure of companies which depend on the availability of particular sources of funds will be discussed in the third section. In the section that follows, we discuss the trade-off and pecking order theories of capital structure and the conclusion are in final section.

Discuss the rationale behind the WS and PS curves
Paul Allen Macroeconomics B00561027 Discuss the rationale behind the WS and PS curves. Introduction Traditionally markets were assumed perfectly competitive. This assumption has become more unlikely but here are the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market. There are many sellers, many individual buyers, no barrios of entry or exit, perfect knowledge, perfectly mobile factors of production and no externalities. The assumptions of pure competition do not hold in the vast majority of real world markets. This has led a progressive new wave of thinking usually associated with New Keynesian the theory of imperfectly competitive markets. Perfect Markets In perfectly competitive markets, producers take prices as given; in imperfectly competitive markets, producers have some ability to choose the prices they charge. In both kinds of markets, there is a short - run positive relationship between prices and output, but for slightly different reasons. Let’s start with the behaviour of producers in perfectly competitive markets; remember, they take the price as given. Imagine that, for some reason, the aggregate price level falls, which means that the price received by the typical producer of a final good or service falls. Because many production costs are fixed in the short run, production cost per unit of output doesn’t fall by the same proportion as
"The 'Standard practice' defence allows too many careless professionals to avoid liability" Discuss
"The 'Standard practice' defence allows too many careless professionals to avoid liability" Discuss Introduction The standard practice defence is concerned with the discussion of standard of care. I would be discussing in my essay the way in which professional avoid liability and use the defence of standard of practice to escape liability. There have been a lot of situations where by careless professionals escape punishment for what they have done due to the 'standard practice defence'. I would be considering what cases where the there had been negligence on the path of professionals, and which Standard practice had come to their rescue. Most of the time 'standard practice defence are used by Medical Practitioners and I would be basing my essay on medical examples. The government should be held into account too for careless professionals getting away innocent in some circumstances. In establishing the standard of professional conduct that ought be reasonably adopted by certain professionals, the law does little more than articulate standards adopted by professionals themselves; it does not impose those of its own. When professionals use the defence of Standard practice, they would have acted negligently or carelessly. The test for whether a person has acted carelessly is to consider what would have been expected of a reasonable person in the defendant's position. The
Three basic types of materials were used in the experiment. They were a) mild steel (low carbon), b) copper, and c) duralumin. They had different properties; therefore they had different tensile strengths and elongations. Aims
Abstract The tensile test is widely used to provide basic design information on the strength of materials and as an acceptance test for the specification of materials. The teaching and learning of tensile testing was based on laboratory experiments used in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (CM180) at the City University. The experiment looked at how the microstructure of a material can affect its properties. It also introduced tensile testing and stress-strain curves. It is done by using of a tensile testing machine. Three basic types of materials were used in the experiment. They were a) mild steel (low carbon), b) copper, and c) duralumin. They had different properties; therefore they had different tensile strengths and elongations. Aims On completion of this experiment one should be able: a) To understand the general shape of the tensile stress-strain curve. b) To understand how the microstructure of a material can affect its properties, in particular the yield-strength and stiffness. c) To understand some ways that the microstructure can be controlled. Introduction Tensile test is the method for determining behaviour of materials under axial stretch loading. It is also known as tension test. It is probably the most fundamental type of mechanical test that can be performed on material. Tensile tests are simple, relatively inexpensive, and fully standardized. By
Planning is the best way to improve the quality of the environment
Planning is the best way to improve the quality of the environment There is no agreed definition of 'environmental planning'; most studies have had an arduous job in trying to meet a description for it as the environment covers a wide range of issues. In one sense, all Town and Country Planning is concerned with the environment. (Cullingworth & Nadin, 1997, p163) But as the issue of environmental concerns have risen up the political agenda a number of non-planning organisations have had an increasing role to play. It must be noted that the role planning in the environment is not a new instrument in its protection; The Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968 prohibited the emission of dark smoke, in an effort to improve environmental quality. This essay intends to discuss the main instruments use in the contemporary planning system in the UK, which are handed the task of protecting and improving the environment. It begins by briefly outlining the reasons why planning is used for environmental protection and its new role in promoting sustainability. These objectives are highlighted in recent government papers and are explored in the objectives outlined in LA21. The next section reveals how the planning system might be seen as failing these objectives and its shortcomings by a brief comparison with other nations, thus providing conclusions for the suitability of planning as
