On many college campuses, hip-hop's…

O'Connor, Michael P. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2009
Students with learning disabilities (LD) are most often educated in the general education classroom, where it seems clear that a significant lack of attention to the concept of transition also exists. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), for example, does not specifically address students' postschool success or transition outcomes. One challenge…

Beginning by highlighting considerations of the intersections among social and ecological issues and the recent diversification of critical pedagogy, this paper suggests means by which approaches such as Gruenewald's (2003) "critical pedagogy of place" can be expanded to accommodate a broader range of possible places of pedagogy.

Leifsen, Esben – Children & Society, 2008
Child trafficking activity often draws on formal administrative and legal resources. Formalisation implies considerable cooperation between public functionaries, lawyers and external actors.
