Dual Diagnosis
Further Testing
However the willingness of doctor can have an immense impact when they are working with dual
diagnosis (Werner, 2012). Studies have shown that having preconceived attitudes can result in the
unknowing to work with certain individuals (Werner, 2012). In addition studies have that the biggest
factor of working with dual diagnosis is that of the willingness. In which the willingness plays a

Studies have shown special education students who are dual diagnosis will be treated with

helpful with students who are dual diagnosis are icons, comic strips, visual cues, choice boards and
token boards for doing a decent job (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). With seeing that students can be
taught using visual aide a recent study was conducted on the effectiveness of using visual aids

they are being involved in helping students (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). The second result was that
in addition to visual cues the visual schedules, rating scale and comic strips were all helpful with
special educated individuals with dual diagnosis (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). And the last result from

Dual Organisms
LICHENS (fungus) – are dual organisms because they have a symbiotic association between two or
more entirely different types of microorganism, usually a fungus and algae
Scientific name/general classification – orange sea lichen Caloplaca marina (G)
Kingdom: fungi
Phylum: ascomycota
Class: lecanoromycetes
Order: teloschistales
Family: teloschistaceae
Genus: caloplaca
Species: c. marina
Physical stats 13,500 to 17,000 species
The body is termed the thallus and the general shape allows for classification into 4 categories
Foliose (Parmelia physodes: grows on twigs (A)) – flat leaf like structure, lobes, about 1 cm

Each lichen consists of an association between a fungus and a species of algae lichens can reproduce
sexually, but most commonly asexual reproducers
Most lichens are dispersed by vegetative propagation.
The lichen thallus is brittle when it is dry, fragments get broken off and eaten by animals or carried
in the wind
Near the thallus there is production of soredia a powdery mass that is dispersed by the wind
Sexual reproduction occurs when the fungal ascomata produce spores that germinate the living algae
in contact with the ascomata
Lichen algae reproduce by mitosis and simple cell division.
Ecological role
Lichen are good measures of air quality because they are very sensitive to pollution especially sulfur
dioxide sensitivity is so great that it can be possible to calculate the amount of sulfur dioxide in the
atmosphere by mapping the build up or death of lichens in an area. very sensitive to nuclear

Creating a plan and executing each step of the plan might sound simple to do, but for many
individuals, many of them must have the next step of maintenance just in case they deviate from the

either maintain their steps in change or relapse and change their ways (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).
This step is also the last step and the longest step for individuals in which finishing this step might
take up to months or even years to accomplish (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). Also in this step the

Dual diagnosis will almost consist of three prevalent characteristics such as substance abuse, several
metal illnesses and proper treatment (Drake, 2007). In addition, dual diagnosis also allows clients
and doctors to discover further new knowledge specifically of dual diagnosis such as the most
exposed to different individuals who are dual diagnosed the better treatment the doctor can provide
(Werner & Stawski, 2012). Furthermore the more knowledgeable the doctors are at treating
individuals whom are dual diagnosed the better they are to provide their clients with the eight to
nine stages (depending on the individual) of change (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). However, with all of
this new knowledge, there are issues that pertain to dual diagnosis, which is that having a typecast
on the individuals will cause the doctor to provide worse treatment as if they didn't have an opinion
of those clients (Werner, 2012). In addition, there must be work done on treating children who are
dual diagnosed since many doctors don't even know that children can be dual diagnosed and treated
just like adults (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). Therefore, in the spectrum of dual diagnosis, there are

Duality And Sensitivity Essay
6 Duality and Sensitivity
The optimal solution for a linear programming problem can be calculated by utilizing the simplex
method. Yet, we may still ponder on whether we have truly discovered the optimal solution of our
linear model. Furthermore, we could be concerned on what to do with the surplus of resources at our
hands. In addition, the parameters that we utilized to formulate our model may not reflect the actual
parameters. Those values may have been simply estimates that would guide us in identify a best
possible outcome. Therefore, we are required to conduct further analysis and determine if indeed we
have achieved optimization. In linear programming, analyzing the concept of duality and sensitivity
is extremely useful. It gives us reassurance that our optimal solution would be feasible in reality. If it
was not the best solution, we can now focus on how to reach the optimal solution and optimize our
given objective.
The first issue that we may encounter is whether we utilized our surplus of resources wisely as we
optimize our objective function. All linear programming problems have an associated linear
programming problem called the dual [4]. We call our main problem the primal and the associated
problem the dual. Analyzing the relationship of the optimization of both problems will give us good
insight in weather resources were utilized wisely. The dual problem can be formulated by alternating

The states have the power to change anything they want drinking age, tax, driving age, schooling
but there are some things that they can't do such as coining money, have external affairs, or declare

government is that there are levels of government there is national level, state then local and
depending where you are in the United States you need to follow those rules. The power is not
always divided equally though. Even though states have right given in the 10th amendment if the
nation wants a state to change something they can refuse funding until they change what they want

Additionally, creating a plan allows the clients to become more motivated to successfully
accomplish each step with their own determination (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). For several of us
creating a plan can be simple to do, but executing each step is might be the toughest but there is a
solution which is that of the next step which is action (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). The action step can
be simple or difficult since is it all depends on the individualized action (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).
For clients the best way for them to execute each step of their plan is to commit to action which
could be for them to not over deliberate each step or to be self–motivated (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).
However creating and executing each step might sound simple to do, but it might be a reasonable
idea to incorporate the next step of maintenance just in case certain steps are deviate from the plan
(Miller & Rollnick, 2002). For maintenance it is the next step in change since it allows the
individuals to either maintain their current steps of change or revert to another way (Miller &
Rollnick, 2002). This step of maintenance could be one of longest steps since it could be up to
months or even years to accomplish depending on the individual (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). When

Dual Relationship
Statement one and two are essential when conducting a dual–relationship with a patient. Statement
one, includes discussing the limitations of the proposed relationship. This could include situations
such as, outside of our therapy session we cannot discuss that content as friends (Kenyon, 1999, p.
63). Though that may be an unrealistic example, it is still an illustration of a rule set to differ
between the two relationships. Statement two discusses serving the all clients with respect, integrity
and keeping their welfare into consideration always (Kenyon, 1999, p. 63). This is a huge
responsibility to all patients but is something you will need to be constantly re–evaluating in a dual–
relationship. Asking yourself questions throughout the process is imperative. For example, the
question of, is my professional or personal image of this person affecting the quality of care I can
give them? Statement eight is the most important as it deals with the probable ethical conflicts that
can rise from dual or multiple relationships. The statement most certainly discourages having dual–

Key Points Both articles identify the issue of providing mental health services for veterans with an
extra emphasis on those that served in Afghanistan and Iraq (OEF/OIF veterans). It is no surprise
that returning veterans suffer from both visible/invisible (physical and mental) wounds. Most
veterans have this "high" expectation that they are going to receive quality care from both the DoD
and VA. Unfortunately reality steps in where veterans are slapped in the face because they are
receiving a lack of poor quality care all while jumping through Beuracractic hoops. The challenges
faced to access these services include resistance, stigma, lack of professionalism, and geographic
and/or regional disparities in the distribution of services resources and/or benefits, and the system
simply refusing to change. The articles address the prevalence of the issue of mental health and
claims the importance of policy reform at all levels of society.
Gaps in Research The research is limited in that there is enough on just the narrative of substance

Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health issue affecting 70 million African–American males in
the United States (CDC,2015) and predisposing them to cardiovascular diseases (Scranton,
Goldstein, & Stecher, 2013). The WHO (2013) defines HTN as a systolic blood pressure of equal or
greater than 140 mm/Hg or a diastolic blood pressure of equal or greater than 90 mm/ Hg. In
addition, a large portion of patient's diagnosed with HTN also have a diagnosis of erectile
dysfunction (ED), both of which when left untreated can have a negative impact on quality of life.
ED has been defined by Adebusoye et al., (2012), the lack of sufficient sexual intercourse due to
inability of a penile erection in male. Compounding the high incidence of HTN and ED among
African–American males, is the problem of non–adherence to prescribed anti–hypertensive
medications. Real or perceived ED associated with the adverse side effects of anti–hypertensive
medications is a chief reason for non–adherence to anti–hypertensive medications among males

CBO analyzed results from six demonstration projects, testing various forms of disease management

Dual Language Learners Are Children Learning Two Or More
Dual language learners are children learning two or more languages at the same time, as well as
those learning a second language while continuing to develop their first (or home) language (Dual
language learning, 2008). The number of children being raised in bilingual homes is large and
growing, however the mechanism of language development in children from bilingual homes is not
well described or understood (Hoff et al., 2011). A large body of research has refuted the opinion
that dual language input may confuse children, and other research indicates that children exposed to
two languages can distinguish those languages from infancy, learn two phonological systems, two
vocabularies and two grammars (Kova´cs & Mehler, 2009a; Petitto, ... Show more content on

The goals for students in dual language education programs include high levels of bilingualism and
biliteracy, academic achievement, and cross–cultural competence for all students (Lindholm–Leary,

English and a partner language to promote bilingualism and biliteracy.
Heritage languages refer to the languages spoken by immigrants and their children and has recently
come to be used broadly by those concerned about the study, maintenance, and revitalization of
non–English languages in the United States (Montrul, 2012). Heritage language learners contain a
heterogeneous group ranging from fluent native speakers to non–speakers who may be generations
removed but who may feel culturally connected to a language (Deusen–Scholl, 2003). A heritage
language program is any language development program that is designed or tailored to address the
needs of heritage language learners, and heritage language programs may be at any level or setting
and vary in terms of their approaches to teaching, populations they serve, and other factors (Chao,
1997). Heritage language programs have three major educational contexts: community–based
program, K–12, and higher education. Heritage language schools are often created out of a
community's desire to pass on their language and culture from one generation to the next in order to

The Dual Coding Theory Of The Human Mind And Its Functions
Assignment introduction
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, including how it influences
our behaviour. Cognitive psychology is the study of human mental processes and their role in
thinking, feeling and behaving. It studies processes like attention, language use, memory, thinking,
problem solving, perception and creativity. Memory is the mental capacity to retain and revive
events, facts, impressions etc or recall and recognise previous experiences. We can remember
information for seconds, hours, weeks, months or years after the physical stimuli that was present

Bower studied the effect of creating a visual image to assist verbal recall. In one experiment, the
participants were given out 100 different cards, one at a time which each had two unrelated words
on it , like 'cat' and 'tree'. The participants either had to remember the pair or create a visual scene in
which both objects were featured. When the participants were given a cued recall test (given the first
of each pair of words), the group who created a visual scene recalled 80% of the target words,
whereas those who did not remember an image could only recall 45%. It was proven that the images
which were more unusual were easier to remember, for example it would be better to visualise a cat
living inside a tree, rather than a cat climbing up a tree as the first scene is more unlikely and
bizarre.
Experimental Hypothesis:
Individuals are more likely to recall words if it is given in picture form rather than just the word
shown alone.
Null Hypothesis:
Being shown images compared to just being showing the word does not change an individual's
ability to recall the word.
Method
The method of the study was to test whether being shown images to remember a word improves
recall of the given words in lab conditions.

linking the two cities and stimulating economic development. A choice between the two types of

Having a uniform gauge gives convenience not only to engineers responsible for construction but

break–of–gauge is seen as an obstacle to the smooth flow of traffic which would consequently add
delays, cost, and inconvenience. Assuming the 80 km distance to have mountainous regions, the
Cape gauge could be the optimal choice in this situation. History research shows that narrow gauges
were used in mountainous regions. These gauges are also a substitute to places where standard

Implications Of Dual Language Immersion
Dual language education benefits both English dominant students and English language learners
with a goal of helping students to become bilingual, bicultural and biliterate. This paper will explore
the Implications of Dual Language Immersion programs in US schools. While dual–language
education has existed in the United States for roughly two centuries, and it reached its height of
popularity in the 1970s, the use of dual–language education in public schools has declined
significantly in recent decades due to legislative actions that have sought to limit its use. When used,
dual–language education is generally seen as a way to ensure that non–English–speaking students,
or students who are not yet proficient in English, are given equitable opportunities to succeed in and
complete their education. While schools and teachers may use a wide variety of dual–language
strategies, each with its own specific instructional goals, the programs are typically designed to
simultaneously develop English fluency, content knowledge, and academic language–the
knowledge, skills, and cultural proficiencies needed to succeed in an academic program.

appeared to be unlikely leaders, but were molded by God to guide God's people in times of need.
Moses the murderer led the Israelites to the Promised Land and David the adulterer became the
greatest king of Israel (Exodus & 2 Samuel). What set these men apart was not their genius,
speaking ability or military prowess but rather their dependence on God. The kings that followed
David failed to ensure that Israel remained faithful to the Lord and this resulted in the division of the
kingdom and exile of the nation (1&2 Kings). Christian leaders of today can look to the example of
Moses and David to encourage perseverance and commitment to following God's leading. Indeed,

Dual Relationship Of Dual Relationships
Dual relationships in therapy practice are identified as an ethical issue and a boundary violation
(Sawyer, and Prescott, 2010). According to Sawyer and Prescott (2010), this is based in part on the
concepts that the relationships are not equal, the client is vulnerable, and that the primary
responsibility of the clinician is to make care of the client the first priority. Dual relationships are
defined by Syme (2003), as 'arising in any situation where a therapist assumes more than one
significantly different role either simultaneously or sequentially with a client'. This type of
relationship typically refers to two roles overlapping each other. A type of a dual relationship that I
could imagine occurring is taking on family or friends as clients. This is a dual relationship because
the therapist is acting as a professional and as a friend or family member to the client. An example
of this would be as follows, Susan is attempting to enroll her 6 year daughter into an elite private
school. The school requires that an intellectual assessment be completed before the final enrollment
stages are complete. Susan asks her brother, a licensed child psychologist to perform the assessment.
The results revealed that there were some low– performance areas and the little girl's IQ was not up
to par with the school's requirement. For this reason, the school decided not to move forward with

but not 50:50, design.
1. In the 90:10 model, at the kindergarten and first grades, 90% of the instructional day is devoted to
content instruction in the target language (for example, Spanish or French or Korean) and 10% in
English. All content instruction occurs in the target language, and English time is used to develop
oral language proficiency and some pre–literacy skills. At all next grade levels the portion of the
target language has gradually increased oppositely to English language what portion of the
instruction has decreased. For example, students might be studying academic subjects as
mathematics, social studies and science in the target language, and language arts in both languages.
In the 5–6 grades, the students' instructional time becomes equal between English and the target
language.

Furthermore the more knowledgeable the doctors are at treating individuals whom are dual diagnosed the better they are to provide their clients with the eight to nine stages (depending on the individual) of change (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). However, with all of this new knowledge, there are issues that pertain to dual diagnosis, which is that having a typecast on the individuals will cause the doctor to provide worse treatment as if they didn't have an opinion of those clients (Werner, 2012).

Yet, we may still ponder on whether we have truly discovered the optimal solution of our linear model. Furthermore, we could be concerned on what to do with the surplus of resources at our hands. In addition, the parameters that we utilized to formulate our model may not reflect the actual parameters. Those values may have been simply estimates that would guide us in identify a best possible outcome. Therefore, we are required to conduct further analysis and determine if indeed we have achieved optimization. In linear programming, analyzing the concept of duality and sensitivity is extremely useful. It gives us reassurance that our optimal solution would be feasible in reality. If it was not the best solution, we can now focus on how to reach the optimal solution and optimize our given objective. The first issue that we may encounter is whether we utilized our surplus of resources wisely as we optimize our objective function. All linear programming problems have an associated linear programming problem called the dual [4]. We call our main problem the primal and the associated problem the dual. Analyzing the relationship of the optimization of both problems will give us good insight in weather resources were utilized wisely.

Like many other high school students, my mind ponders on the thought of what I truly want to pursue in college, so this was a huge step for me. Oakland Community College gave me the opportunity to test the waters and depict an idea of what attending a University may be like, so that is to say how much one can really learn from an experience like mine. Another thing I learned was that not everything can be done at the last minute, the way you imagined it should be. There should be an excessive amount of planning and thought that goes into completing certain assignments and projects, I remember staying up on some nights just to complete two to four essays.

The answer is federalism, federalism is having or relating to a system of government in which several states form a unity but remain independent in internal affairs. These discissions were made in the Federalist Papers written by the Founders. The federalist papers were a collection of eighty–five essays written to the newspapers in the 1780's to encourage the remaining states who had yet to ratify the constitution.

The states have the power to change anything they want drinking age, tax, driving age, schooling but there are some things that they can't do such as coining money, have external affairs, or declare war they are all powers that are left to the national government. The idea of a federalistic government is that there are levels of government there is national level, state then local and depending where you are in the United States you need to follow those rules. The power is not always divided equally though. Even though states have right given in the 10th amendment if the nation wants a state to change something they can refuse funding until they change what they want to be changed. This happened in 1980 when New Jersey changed their drinking age to 19 and the state was at an all time high with 18–20 year olds losing their lives 88 young people died while intoxicated on New Jersey roadways that year. In 1995 the government withdrew highway funding due to the fact that people who drive motorcycles were not required by law to wear helmets while driving this was established and then reinstalled in 1991.

For the first time ever; I got to test and refine my skills in English, socialise with people from diverse culture and background, and in a true sense be independent and manage my own life. In most ways, I did successfully transform into the new environment which I have admired for ages. I established a dual identity – a persona that enjoys vibrant and active social life and sports. I am very certain that at this stage, my friends over home shall have no clue how I have changed. Was this a dual identity? I myself is confused to answer this question, but what I do know is that the potential I had, suppressed by the abhorrent culture back home, was finally broke loose from the oppression and started to act upon myself. Though I have somewhat expected it, I admit I failed to predict how extensive the change will be. However what I firmly believe is that this second chance that was given to me, I will try to utilise as best as I can. I have said a lot that I should try out and explore. Until now, it was just words; because of my long life back at home, I didn't have the opportunity to fully explore the outside world. Now is the time – this will continue.

Additionally, creating a plan allows the clients to become more motivated to successfully accomplish each step with their own determination (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). For several of us creating a plan can be simple to do, but executing each step is might be the toughest but there is a solution which is that of the next step which is action (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). The action step can be simple or difficult since is it all depends on the individualized action (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). For clients the best way for them to execute each step of their plan is to commit to action which could be for them to not over deliberate each step or to be self–motivated (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). However creating and executing each step might sound simple to do, but it might be a reasonable idea to incorporate the next step of maintenance just in case certain steps are deviate from the plan (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). For maintenance it is the next step in change since it allows the individuals to either maintain their current steps of change or revert to another way (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). This step of maintenance could be one of longest steps since it could be up to months or even years to accomplish depending on the individual (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).

This could include situations such as, outside of our therapy session we cannot discuss that content as friends (Kenyon, 1999, p. 63). Though that may be an unrealistic example, it is still an illustration of a rule set to differ between the two relationships. Statement two discusses serving the all clients with respect, integrity and keeping their welfare into consideration always (Kenyon, 1999, p. 63). This is a huge responsibility to all patients but is something you will need to be constantly re–evaluating in a dual– relationship. Asking yourself questions throughout the process is imperative. For example, the question of, is my professional or personal image of this person affecting the quality of care I can give them? Statement eight is the most important as it deals with the probable ethical conflicts that can rise from dual or multiple relationships.

SOWK 641– Fall 2016 Assignment#2: Article Reviews Mary Marrone USC School of Social Work October 6, 2016 Course Instructor: Dr. Finney Key Points Both articles identify the issue of providing mental health services for veterans with an extra emphasis on those that served in Afghanistan and Iraq (OEF/OIF veterans). It is no surprise that returning veterans suffer from both visible/invisible (physical and mental) wounds. Most veterans have this "high" expectation that they are going to receive quality care from both the DoD and VA. Unfortunately reality steps in where veterans are slapped in the face because they are receiving a lack of poor quality care all while jumping through Beuracractic hoops. The challenges faced to access these services include resistance, stigma, lack of professionalism, and geographic and/or regional disparities in the distribution of services resources and/or benefits, and the system simply refusing to change. The articles address the prevalence of the issue of mental health and claims the importance of policy reform at all levels of society. Gaps in Research The research is limited in that there is enough on just the narrative of substance abuse and enough research on mental illnesses, but research is limited when it comes to dual diagnoses.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health issue affecting 70 million African–American males in the United States (CDC,2015) and predisposing them to cardiovascular diseases (Scranton, Goldstein, & Stecher, 2013). The WHO (2013) defines HTN as a systolic blood pressure of equal or greater than 140 mm/Hg or a diastolic blood pressure of equal or greater than 90 mm/ Hg. In addition, a large portion of patient's diagnosed with HTN also have a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED), both of which when left untreated can have a negative impact on quality of life. ED has been defined by Adebusoye et al., (2012), the lack of sufficient sexual intercourse due to inability of a penile erection in male. Compounding the high incidence of HTN and ED among African–American males, is the problem of non–adherence to prescribed anti–hypertensive medications. Real or perceived ED associated with the adverse side effects of anti–hypertensive medications is a chief reason for non–adherence to anti–hypertensive medications among males (Kakkavas et al., 2013). This research study will use The Health Belief Model to investigate the correlation between African–American males with dual diagnoses' of HTN and ED who are non– adherent to anti–hypertensive medications.

Heritage languages refer to the languages spoken by immigrants and their children and has recently come to be used broadly by those concerned about the study, maintenance, and revitalization of non–English languages in the United States (Montrul, 2012). Heritage language learners contain a heterogeneous group ranging from fluent native speakers to non–speakers who may be generations removed but who may feel culturally connected to a language (Deusen–Scholl, 2003). A heritage language program is any language development program that is designed or tailored to address the needs of heritage language learners, and heritage language programs may be at any level or setting and vary in terms of their approaches to teaching, populations they serve, and other factors (Chao, 1997).

Bower studied the effect of creating a visual image to assist verbal recall. In one experiment, the participants were given out 100 different cards, one at a time which each had two unrelated words on it , like 'cat' and 'tree'. The participants either had to remember the pair or create a visual scene in which both objects were featured. When the participants were given a cued recall test (given the first of each pair of words), the group who created a visual scene recalled 80% of the target words, whereas those who did not remember an image could only recall 45%. It was proven that the images which were more unusual were easier to remember, for example it would be better to visualise a cat living inside a tree, rather than a cat climbing up a tree as the first scene is more unlikely and bizarre. Experimental Hypothesis: Individuals are more likely to recall words if it is given in picture form rather than just the word shown alone. Null Hypothesis: Being shown images compared to just being showing the word does not change an individual's ability to recall the word.

What set these men apart was not their genius, speaking ability or military prowess but rather their dependence on God. The kings that followed David failed to ensure that Israel remained faithful to the Lord and this resulted in the division of the kingdom and exile of the nation (1&2 Kings).

Dual relationships are defined by Syme (2003), as 'arising in any situation where a therapist assumes more than one significantly different role either simultaneously or sequentially with a client'. This type of relationship typically refers to two roles overlapping each other. A type of a dual relationship that I could imagine occurring is taking on family or friends as clients. This is a dual relationship because the therapist is acting as a professional and as a friend or family member to the client. An example of this would be as follows, Susan is attempting to enroll her 6 year daughter into an elite private school. The school requires that an intellectual assessment be completed before the final enrollment stages are complete. Susan asks her brother, a licensed child psychologist to perform the assessment. The results revealed that there were some low– performance areas and the little girl's IQ was not up to par with the school's requirement. For this reason, the school decided not to move forward with the enrollment process. Susan was upset with her psychologist–brother for not making ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Clinical social work views the client's relationship with his or her environment as essential to treatment planning." (NASW, 2008) Through the lens of the Code of Ethics, various guidelines have the potential to be impacted through this practice if attention to method, transference/countertransference, mindfulness and competence are not examined. The three primary ethical principles that have the potential to be impacted would be; 1) Social workers practice within their areas of competence and develop and enhance their professional expertise, 2) Social workers recognize the central importance of human relationships, and 3) Social workers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person. To ensure that all three potential conflicts are not present, a supervisee should research and interview potential clinical supervisors prior to engaging in a contractual relationship. Secondly, a supervisee should partner with their potential supervisor to discuss, evaluate, and plan for potential pitfalls within the relationship through a very objectively written contract with accountability built in to ensure that potential issues are proactively addressed.

Nowadays, in USA exist two major variants of the DIP models referred to as the 90:10 and the 50:50 models. The principle distinguishes between these two variations is the distribution of languages for instruction. The amount of time spent in each language varies across the grade levels in the 90:10, but not 50:50, design. 1. In the 90:10 model, at the kindergarten and first grades, 90% of the instructional day is devoted to content instruction in the target language (for example, Spanish or French or Korean) and 10% in English. All content instruction occurs in the target language, and English time is used to develop oral language proficiency and some pre–literacy skills. At all next grade levels the portion of the target language has gradually increased oppositely to English language what portion of the instruction has decreased. For example, students might be studying academic subjects as mathematics, social studies and science in the target language, and language arts in both languages. In the 5–6 grades, the students' instructional time becomes equal between English and the target language. 2. ln the second model, used in AISD , 50:50 model, students receive 50% of their instruction in English and the other half in the target language all years of the elementary school.

Bilingual Education has continued to grow relentlessly. The number of children who have enrolled in dual language (DL) programs only continues to increase. Truly though, are DL teachers ready to teach children in bilingual classrooms? Have these teachers received the appropriate training so that their instruction would work effectively for the bilingual children? According to Baker, the outcome of the staff professional development program should benefit the teachers by increasing "their understanding of second language acquisition" and developing "effective curriculum approaches in teaching language minority students as well being aware of the students' language and cultural background (Baker, 2011). In the article " Dual Language Teachers' Use of conventional, environmental, and personal resources to support academic language development," Lucero carefully considers the DL teachers' instructional practices with their potential to improve bilingual academic language outcomes for students. Since the allocation of resources is a significant factor impacting teacher instructional practices, this aspect is divided into three common types of resources composed of the conventional, environmental, and personal areas.

The possibilities with having two vaginas really is endless, but for the sake of this article, (and all of our sick minds) let's rope it in a bit. Here are just five things you didn't know about this dual vagina wielding female. 1. SHE DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD TWO VAGINAS One would think that having two vaginas would be fairly obvious right? Well, according to YouTube star Cassandra Bankson, that's just not true. It was only recently that she found out she had two vaginas. A trip to the doctor for some back pain was the route of the shocking reveal. From then on, she's been understandably famous. PornHub has yet to make her any offers. 2.

SEPTUM COVERS HER G–SPOT; PORNHUB DISSAPOINTED If PornHub ever wants to get a good close up of her G–Spot (assuming PornHub makes her an offer) they will have to deal with the septum. Apparently, the septum conveniently separates the two vaginas while simultaneously covering her G–spot. For those who always thought the G–spot was a myth, well, sorry to break it to you. She was probably just lying to make you feel better. 4. SHE HAS A HIGHER RISK OF MISCARRIAGE One would think that having two vaginas would double the chances of bearing children, but in fact, it's quite the opposite. She states that the uteri are abnormally small, which increases the risk of miscarriage and premature babies. On the upside, pregnancies have been known to ruin many a career on Pornhub. So she's got then going for her, which is nice. 5. HER SEX LIFE IS GOOD At the end of the day, through all the inconveniences, Cassandra's sex life is good. Not great, not bad, but good. Her lucky boyfriend has even chimed in saying he pays equal attention to both vaginas. What a

The rationale for including these students in high–stakes tests it to hold them to the same high standards as their peers and to ensure that their needs are not overlooked. (Coltrane, 2002) Effective schools use assessment measures that are aligned with their school goals and vision as well as with the appropriate school curriculum. The goal is for students to feel as if they are significant part of the learning process. At a young age, students need to feel the importance of their education and take pride in the work that they do. At times this is not possible, because they simply don't understand what is being taught due to language barriers. It is important to analyze and interpret data in significant ways to achieve program accountability and improvement. In order for successful outcomes, the staff needs to be taught as well and provided with professional development that is focused on assessment and interpretation of data.
