Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Turner Syndrome
Jim Abbott, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, despite having been born without a right hand, once stated that “it’s not the disability that defines you; it’s how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. We have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability” (Jim Abbot). This has never been more important to instill in our students today. They learn from our actions and language how to treat others, so modeling appropriate behavior in the classroom is essential. Understanding and respecting our students as individuals, each with their own special needs, will better prepare them for success. It is our job as educators to facilitate that success, and tailor our classrooms to fit their needs. We should be aware of what our students may be going through and the challenges they face. For example, the chromosomal abnormality Turner Syndrome (TS) has many symptoms and implications in the classroom.

I went to Douglass College, the all girls campus at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Douglass is small, historical, and near Cook Campus. Rutgers, the main campus, is ginormous and requires transportation to get around. I lived on Douglass for four years but was home almost every weekend to see my older boyfriend at the time, who commuted to school. I loved everything about college except for sitting in traffic trying to get to class in my car.
I Hated Sixth Form
I'm going to start off by saying that sixth form started out pretty fun. I'd happily do first year again. I made some great friends and enjoyed my classes pretty well. I don't have much to complain about the first year other than I did amazingly terrible on my AS exams. Three Us. Yay.

Week 1: (Week of March 14, 2018) Side-note: Hello there, I am Ms. Kelley. I am a senior student at Lander University studying Special Education. Each week or so, I don’t know, I will be discussing a topic in education. I will NOT be disclosing any confidential information that I see in the classroom. That would be bad, mmkay? These journals are for education topics only. I am also going to be very informal in these topics. I’ll try to keep the teacher talk to a minimum. Let’s get started!
S. D. KelleyPublished 6 years ago in EducationHow to Survive Your First Year of University
Chose a program that you love. When going through the view books at all of your university choices, you need to chose something that calls to you. Chose a major that you have always found interest in. Something you genuinely feel passionate about. This is the main topic and subject area that you will be learning about for the next four years, and what you want the rest of your life to be centred around after you graduate (no pressure). If you feel passionate about more than one thing, then pick both a major in one subject area, and a minor in another. If you can't chose between the two, and you're feeling ambitious, major in both! The important thing is to chose something that you really want to do, something that means something to you, and something you have put a lot of thought into.

I think college sucks. There aren't many places quite like college when you're asocial and/or introverted and just want to quietly get by and eventually join the system. I'm joking. There are plenty of places like it.

Before I start extracting the thoughts from my mind onto this page, I would like to point out that I have not done research for this, this is purely from my own experiences from my time in college.
Jordan HolmesPublished 6 years ago in EducationEducation on Bullying and Mental Well Being Is Key
As a kid, I was bullied, teased, and made fun of. I spent a very large majority of time in the counselor's office. I was a very depressed kid. This started when I was in the second grade and continued through the rest of my schooling. I shared my issues with the School counselors and with my parents. It really was to no avail, because the harassment never stopped.

Michelle BriannaPublished 6 years ago in EducationUnderappreciated Music Programs in Education
Budget cuts throughout the U.S. have caused severe losses in funding to public school music programs. Furthermore, under appreciated programs then suffer because of low participation rates, lack of equipment, and district priorities. This leads music in schools to be viewed as nerdy, uncool, and boring. This negative outlook and lack of participation has created an unequal balance of funding in schools. Schools are far more likely to designate their funds to the attractive and crowd-pleasing sports programs rather than to the disadvantaged music programs. This leaves these rejected groups to scrounge for money on their own.
