- Description:
- Students who are learning English as a second language are not supported nearly as much as they should be, even though they make up a significant portion of the country's population. This begs the question, what more can we do for our English Second Language learning students? In order for students to have proper language acquisition, they need constant and genuine support from their teachers, peers, and family. To properly learn how to converse in English, students need to work in groups and with their teachers while they are in school, all the while still embracing the culture and language spoken at home. This is relevant to teachers today because the United States is only getting more diverse, and classrooms should be a safe and supportive environment for all.

- This paper explores teacher and school policies relating to gender and gender identity. Many schools only offer facilities and policies for genders identified with their sex assigned at birth without taking into consideration those students that identify as transgender, gender fluid, or non-binary. Research on this topic include online resources, autobiographies, and an interview with a community partner. The traditional policies are not conforming to the current gender identities and need to be updated to accommodate all students. Information and statistics were performed by online resources and were found to be contradictory to our current policies.

- Description:
- There is a shortage of support for educators willing to teach an inclusive classroom. The lack of training and experience in an inclusive setting, which would include a wide range of disabilities. What are the benefits and improvements that need to be addressed in an inclusive classroom? Having to continually modify lesson plans, teaching strategies and activities that would include all students to help them be successful in the classroom. The research is based upon the behaviorist, and cognitive learning theories. The goal is to transpose the ideology of the learning theories into teaching strategies that can be used within an inclusive classroom.

- Description:
- The intention of this paper is to discuss the occurrence of a Pandemic during 2020. How is COVID-19 a huge impact in the educational system and how is remote learning limiting the students? The United States is not the only country on the planet that has suffered tremendously because of COVID-19. Each and every day new policies are resurfacing in schools and the way students will continue their studies during this time. Additionally, this inquiry paper will also review the limitations, teachers’ accomodations and if any possible benefits that can be efficient enough to give the students great success.

- Description:
- This study’s main focus is on students that are facing different disadvantages because of the poverty they live with and what schools and communities are doing to help. The data collected is from articles, studies, and an interview with a community partner. The data shows the effects on students along with some examples of resources from a variety of organizations for students and their families. The finding of this study is the different physical, cognitive, and emotional health problems students face because of being housing and food insecure. Along with examples of how districts, schools and communities are doing to help.

- Description:
- This study explores how white teachers can best build relationships with students of color and students living in poverty. The barriers that these students face and how to combat these challenges are explored. The importance of student-teacher relationships and parent-teacher communication is also discussed. An interview with Dr. Matthew’s, a school superintendent/principal provided insights into my problem of practice. Recommendations for the study include the importance of teachers building meaningful relationships with students of color and/or living in poverty in order to best support them.

- Description:
- Every year many students come into the classroom after having gone through some form of trauma whether it is a family member who has passed away, parent(s) who suffer from substance abuse or are incarcerated, experiencing or witnessing abuse, poverty, or a situational crisis, such as the loss of a home to wild fire. For children who have suffered from situations like these, learning may be the last thing on their minds. This Inquiry Research paper will help teachers and schools understand why it is so important to help our children succeed even though it may seem impossible. This research paper will also give insight into what steps and strategies teachers can take to be the most effective teacher and positive influencer of our children's education. Recommendations on how to give our students the proper resources to achieve their educational goals all while obtaining a positive attitude.

- Description:
- With the recent Californ ia legislation, SB 1168 (Pavley), SB 1319 (Pavley), and AB 1739 (Dickinson) creating the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), (California Groundwater, 2015) groundwater must be managed sustainably in the future. To accomplish this, a great deal of attention is focused on how groundwater is used, how those uses may change in the future, and what impact climate change and climate variation have on groundwater resources. This research provides a first step into coupling groundwater modeling with land use projections to examine how future water requirements may vary and their corresponding impacts to groundwater and surface water resources. Land use projections from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are incorporated into the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) while controlling for climate. Projected land use from 2090 is compared to land use from 2010 with large shifts to urban areas and agricultural areas shifting from annual to perennial crops. The influence of projected land use change is evaluated through changes in water demand and changes in groundwater elevations. In the Sacramento Valley and Delta regions moderate climate variability is introduced to investigate how both land use and climate change could interact in these regions. This study modeled a decrease of 2 7% in Annual Agriculture, 17% increase in Perennial Agriculture, and a 10% increase in Urban areas across the entire Central Valley study area. These land use projections were examined over two different climate scenarios, an average and a slightly dry of average. In an average climate these land use projections decreased the total required water demand by 13%, with reductions of 6% in surface water demand and 25% reduction in groundwater demand. The groundwater level response in an average climate was variable across the Central Valley with small increases in the northern study area and decreases in the southern study area. When controlling for regional changes in groundwater levels, this study shows that urbanization causes the largest decline in groundwater levels and agricultural expansion into native areas causes the largest increase in groundwater levels. When a dry-of-average climate was modeled in the Sacramento Valley, land use projections caused similar responses in groundwater level changes in some areas as the average year while other areas exhibited higher land use change associated groundwater levels.

- Description:
- The purpose of this study is to explore different variables that are important for all afterschool programs to address as well as implement. The study seeks to answer the research question, what are the three main components of an after school program that are needed for success? The goal is to analyze several different studies and determine what are essential variables for an afterschool program to entail.
