Adolescents’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills were compared before and after training in a workforce readiness training program, Language for Scholars (LFS), and a study skills program, Ideal Student Workshop (ISW). A cross-over design was used, ensuring that 44 adolescents received both programs and acted as their own control. The LFS program incorporated aspects of modeling, operationalized behaviors, performance, feedback, and self-regulatory goal setting. The active comparison ISW program taught study skill strategies. Adolescents participated in three interviews before (Pretest) and after both programs (Posttest 1, Posttest 2). Findings revealed that both adolescents’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills improved significantly immediately after completion of the LFS program only at Posttest 1 and Posttest 2. However, only nonverbal communication skills improved at Posttest 1 when comparing results between LFS and ISW. Findings suggest that both programs yielded some positive outcomes for adolescents.

Previously, scholars who have extensively researched inclusion have argued that some schools, under the shroud of being inclusive, are inherently and discreetly exclusionary. Following this, the chapter evaluates how inclusive education unfolds within the walls of the Valley school. It navigates through the waters of the student-teacher relationship at the school which is combined with Jiddu Krishnamurti’s philosophy in the setting of mixed-age classrooms that encourage dialogue and participation from all students. This chapter argues that inclusion in the junior-school takes place precisely because the school celebrates diversity of every child without holding a strict benchmark for an ideal student. The main focus here is to analyse the processes that successfully combine to enable inclusion as opposed to assimilation – a concept that has been recklessly assumed to be identical to inclusion. The chapter also engages with a pertinent question: is inclusion a possible future for all our schools?

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This paper is an examination of how higher administration at Jesuit schools use hegemony to create an ideological definition of the ‘ideal’ student. I use rhetorical criticism as a means of explaining how students are characterized and defined based on Creighton University sanctioned webpages. The results provided two major ideological principles that influence Creighton’s discussion of the overall student population, the privileging of numbers and the construction of a preferred student model. These ideological themes in combination with hegemonic principles promote the creation of an ‘ideal’ student that no individual is fully capable of attaining.  </span></p></div></div></div>
