Mild to Moderate Mental Retardation: Definition and Educational Approaches
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the definition and educational approaches to individuals with mild to moderate mental retardation. Traditional classification systems of mental retardation are based on levels of severity and include mild, moderate, severe and profound and place mild to moderate mental retardation just below an IQ of 70. While new classification systems have been introduced based on the levels of support needed such as intermittent, limited, extensive and pervasive, the educational system has also broadened its program base to include special education programs into the general educational system with a target toward inclusion. While inclusion has not yet been developed to its potential, the educational programs for students with mental retardation do include an emphasis on basic educational needs in the primary grades with an increasing focus on transition to adulthood and life skills in the secondary levels.

Minority Immigrants Living in Poverty: Education and Employment Factors (Canadian Studies Highlighted)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing minority immigrants living in poverty and the relation to education and employment. Within the last decade, increasing high levels of poverty have been recorded in the minority and recent immigrant populations in Canada and the United States. In Canada, recent immigrants make up over 52% of those under the poverty line in urban areas. Traditionally, immigrants coming into Canada whether skilled or unskilled laborers reached the average Canadian income in less than 10 years after their arrival. Educated immigrants previously had attained average or above income. Within the last 10 years however, this has not been the case and educated and professional immigrants are among the poorest population group in Canada along with the uneducated minority immigrants. Part of this is because it had been felt that due to the decline in the labor market, employers do not recognize the foreign credentials of immigrants but many critics also believe that discrimination plays a large part as well. Educational programs within Canada and the United States tend to focus on overcoming the language barrier firstly in addition to upgrading any educational or occupational labor skills. Regardless of the awareness of increased need in this area, many researchers still agree that the greatest barrier for most minority immigrants is racism which unless overcome will continue to reflect in an unequal representation of immigrant groups in poverty.
