An Overview of Autism
[ send me this paper ]
a 20 page research paper that presents an overview of this devastating disorder. Autism is a perceptual disorder that affects the cognitive and language skills of a child, and it is usually characterized by ritualistic motor activity. Another devastating characteristic of these children is their social isolation. The child may not appear to want or need the comforting attention of a parent and will relate oddly to the environment--for example, developing a close attachment for an electronic appliance or a devastating fear of the vacuum cleaner. The causes of this disorder remain unknown despite a considerable amount of research; however, effective treatment plans and interventions have been developed. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Proposal for Research Into New Teacher Preparedness
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper presenting a proposal for researching the question of whether new teachers are as prepared for the classroom as were new teachers of 20 years ago. That new teachers are relatively unprepared for today's classroom is fairly obvious. The question is why? Is it their grasp of subject matter, ability to effectively manage a classroom, efficacy regarding the associated but non-teaching duties of the teaching position, or is it that the old system of teaching children simply is not effective in today's society? Indications point to the inability of old methods to meet the needs of today. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
