Text (exclusive of references) will run between 1250-1750 words. Academic articles can be chosen from those available on Blackboard. The paper is to conform with APA guidelines.

Should not be a reporting on each individual study. Instead, should focus on commonalities and the major trends that surfaced in the literature. 2-3 pages. ?      Discussion: Connect what was learned from the findings section with oneself as a teacher/future teacher. What are the implications for one’s professional practice? What are the implications for other teachers? What questions still remain after having conducted the literature review? How has the review of the literature shaped your thinking about the selected topic and student population selected to focus on? 2-3 pages. ?      Conclusion: Summarizes  the  paper  and  reiterates  the   importance   of   your   area   of   focus. 1 page. ?      Reference List Literature Review: The culminating project will be a literature review focused on a diverse student population (e.g., students with disabilities, English Language Learners, LGBTQ students, trans students, culturally diverse students, religious diversity, gender diverse, linguistically diverse, etc).
