Final Paper Framework:
As you research and write this final paper, here are the required elements that must be included.
You are encouraged to use your own section headings and should join each part with appropriate
transition sentences. Finally, do not forget to write an introductory and concluding paragraph for
your final paper.
Part 1 – For the first part of your paper, be sure that you throughly explain your approved
topic and provide current data (statistics), with your analysis of that information and how
it supports your topic. Be sure that you back up your thoughts with support from the
research you have found.
Part 2 -Now that you have shared the facts (the data) that supports your chosen topic,
discuss the impact this issue has specifically on the educational profession. Remember to
support your thoughts with your research.
Part 3 – In this final section, you will provide three or more specific strategies or ideas
for teachers that will better assist their students who are impacted by the topic you have
selected. Again, the strategies you discuss must be supported by credible research. Final Paper Expectations:
3-5 pages in length, but this does not include your title page or reference page (the
minimum page length is 3 full pages)
Double-spaced
Review your paper for spelling, grammar, and punctuation
