Write a research paper about the behaviors of kids with autism in the classroom.Justifying Instructional Decisions As a professional educator, you will make many vital decisions about how to support the growth and learning of your students. These decisions should be based upon relevant research and theory in the field. In this assessment, you will explore current peer reviewed research and theory about the students you will teach and the best approaches to teaching them. You must choose one topic for your research and have that topic approved by your instructor. For example, you might search for articles about students who are struggling readers, students who are twice exceptional learners, or students who are both ENL and have exceptionalities. The studies you read will analyze a specific situation and present findings about effective and ineffective ways to work with these students. After exploring multiple options, you will select strong sources, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and summarize their findings. You will then discuss the instructional decisions that you would make based upon these sources. Analyzing Articles: You must select and analyze at least 3 peer reviewed journal articles. For each article, write a brief annotation (see below for prompts) that summarizes the study procedures and findings and evaluates its strengths and weaknesses. You will justify your choice of article and may compare it to others you read. Instructional Implications: This is the so what part of your paper. Analyze and address how what you learned in the first part of your paper will influence your planning of learning experiences and assessment of student performance when you are a teacher. You must make specific connections between what you learned and the instructional decisions you will make. Describe at least 3 specific decisions that you will make based upon the research that you reviewed. Cite the sources of the information that influenced each decision in this section of your paper using APA format. Referencing Sources: Throughout your paper you must use APA format to cite the sources of the theory and research you are discussing. That includes both internal citations within the text and a reference list at the end of your paper.
