What is the problem presented?

Inclusion Case Study
Each student will assume the role of a teacher/researcher and select a problem related to inclusion of special needs students. The focus of the research will be to arrive at practical solutions to the problem. There are several components to this task.
Section I is the introduction of your report. It is based on your Research Problem Statement. It should begin by telling the reader about the case study you read and the inclusion problem presented in the article (case study). Who is involved? What is the problem presented? What are the class dynamics like? How does the teacher address the problem? What research question will you pursue? Include both a research question and a thesis statement in section 1.
Section 2 is a “review of the literature”. You will read 3-5 articles on the topic you selected. The articles must be from appropriate scholarly journals. One of the articles may be from an appropriate on-line website such as www.cast.org , http://www.splcenter.org/center/tt/teach.jsp , http://www.ncld.org/ , http://www.cldinternational.org/ . (If you are unsure whether your article or website is appropriate, please consult with your seminar professor.) You will synthesize what you learned about your topic/problem from your review of literature in response to your research question and in alignment with your thesis statement. This section should specifically address what the research indicates about how to best meet the needs of students with disabilities.
Section 3 is a plan for the future. From what you read in the case study, the problem you identified, and the mini-literature review you have done discuss how you will or could extend this area of research during Field Experience III (where you will be asked to do a student case study). How will this study help you to improve your observations of a master teacher? How will this study help you to plan lessons (instruction) in the future? What are the most important things you are taking away from this study? Did you learn how to address the needs of students with disabilities? If so, how? What would you like to learn more about in the future?
Finally, you should include a reference list (bibliography) of at least three to five sources you used in your research, including your case study.
Your entire paper should be 5 pages long not regarding cover page or resource page. Use APA format to cite sources, quotations, and references. Double space your paper and use size 12 font (Times New Roman or Arial only).
