The Need For Inclusive Education

- by Mary Lebowitz

Inclusive education is a way of teaching that allows all students to learn in an environment where they can feel comfortable, included and important. It allows special needs children to learn side-by-side with their peers. The benefits of inclusive education include better results, higher levels of motivation, improved social skills and reduced anti-social behaviour. Children who are taught in an inclusive environment are more likely to attend university and hold down well paid jobs in the future. There is a greater chance that children will be able to return home after school.

Preliminaries Toward Defining The Stem Curriculum For High School

- by Mary Lebowitz

STEM is the acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. STEM education has been touted as a critical component of America’s future economic success. The goal of STEM education is to give students a strong foundation in these disciplines so that they can pursue them further in college or even as part of their careers. A study by McKinsey & Company shows that by 2020 there will be about 2 million unfilled jobs in STEM fields due to a lack of qualified applicants coming out of high school.

5 Skills I Learned From Critiques

- by Mary Lebowitz

Critiques are a valuable part of the learning process. They can help you understand your own work, and they can also help you understand how others view your work. But critiques can also be difficult! If we don’t know what to expect from a critique or how to interpret it appropriately, then critiquing someone else’s writing can feel like an exercise in futility.

In this post, I’ll share five skills that I learned about myself after being on both sides of the table: as a writer receiving feedback from my peers and as an editor giving feedback to other writers.
