Bars are not Fluid: Gender Identity and Women\u27s Rights in Correctional Facilities
Get PDFThe evolving demographic landscape of the American criminal justice system, with increasing numbers of transgender individuals incarcerated, challenges traditional binary classifications and necessitates revisions in correctional evaluation methods. Balancing the specific needs of transgender inmates with the protection of women\u27s rights and their safety is critical. This research evaluates ethical frameworks within correctional institutions, proposing a compassionate approach to prevent policy manipulation.
Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted action plan, including establishing a task force, gender assessment protocols, comprehensive policies, and educational initiatives, all supported by ethical accountability. Three key policies—gender affirmation, zero-tolerance, and religious rights—are examined for their potential benefits and challenges in promoting safety, respect, and harmony within prison facilities.
Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of cognitive-behavioral interventions in understanding and addressing transgender inmates\u27 needs, particularly in navigating gender identity issues. It advocates for an action plan grounded in behavior chain concepts, leveraging the social-ecological model and evidence-based practices for inmate rehabilitation to foster positive change and reduce recidivism rates. Lastly, the research addresses the concerning trend of sexual offenders falsely claiming transgender identity and emphasizes the imperative of safeguarding the rights and safety of all individuals within correctional settings
Inclusion for ASD students in the Mainstream Setting
Get PDFThis comprehensive review delves into the complexities surrounding the education of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The exploration begins by addressing educator, parental, and paraprofessional perspectives. It reveals challenges related to a lack of autism competence among teachers, managing student behavior, and the pursuit of alternative placements by parents seeking tailored educational experiences. Examining the historical context of ASD, considering its neurodevelopmental nature, emphasizes the importance of continuously evolving teacher preparedness to meet the diverse needs of students. The studies draw attention to the multifaceted challenges educators face, particularly in the absence of consistent training in evidence-based practices (EBPs) for ASD. The call for ongoing professional development demands continuous learning to address the dynamic needs of students. The absence of a one- size-fits-all intervention reinforces the importance of personalized strategies informed by ongoing research, collaboration, and training. This comprehensive examination calls for an adaptive approach to education, acknowledging the unique needs of students with ASD and fostering inclusive environments that promote their academic and social success

The Experiences of Men as a Gender Minority in Early Childhood Workplaces
Get PDFMen comprise a small percentage of the early childhood education and care workforce worldwide. Men represent only three percent of the preschool workforce in the United States (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, 2023). A review of the literature revealed challenges men commonly face as a gender minority in a female-dominated field. These challenges include the transgression of traditional beliefs about masculinity, structural barriers like low pay and poor working conditions, and workplace challenges like exclusion, double standards, gatekeeping, and suspicion of sexual threat. Research showed that men can contribute to the field through pedagogic practices that support child development, such as risky play, and that the presence of men can enhance workplace diversity. In order to build a higher proportion of men in the field, findings identified ways to support men through targeted recruitment and retention efforts. Studies found that men benefit from adopting the identity of the professional. Workplace leaders can support teachers when they cultivate greater gender awareness in the workplace. Synthesis of the findings concluded that greater sensitivity to gender dynamics in early childhood workplaces paired with supportive actions would increase the recruitment and retention of men in the field
