Discussion: Hollister (1919:40) listed eight species of Tachyorytces, noted that "all have constant characters of differentiation, and intergradation between any two of them is not indicated by this material," but speculated that the "numerous forms will doubtlessly be connected by complete chains of intergrades and the final monographer of the genus will be obliged to reduce many of the named forms to the rank of subspecies." G. M. Allen (1939) and Ellerman (1941) listed 14 species, but these were reduced to T. macrocephalus and T. splendens by Misonne (1974), an arrangement followed by Corbet and Hill (1991). Of the twenty forms described, Rahm (1980) considered about 16 of them to be valid subspecies of T. splendens.
The abrupt reduction from 14 to 2 species was not based on reevaluation of morphological differences that characterize the named forms. Aside from Bekele’s (1986) inconclusive univariate analyses of craniometric data from samples of Tachyoryctes, no assessment of morphological variation in the genus is available in context of a systematic revision. Until such a study provides documentation and definition of specific limits and geographic distributions, we return to a modified treatment of the arrangement by G. M. Allen (1939) and Ellerman (1941), which reflects the diagnostic information now available from specimen study and provides a working estimate of biological reality. Morphology and morphometry of the lungs of a Kenyan sample of Tachyoryctes contrasted with Heterocephalus by Maina et al. (1992), stomach morphology described by Rahm (1976), morphogenesis of fetal membranes and placenta by Makori et al. (1991), and lower incisor shape compared with other muroids by Millien-Parra (2000 a).

Tachyoryctes annectens Thomas 1891, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 7: 304.
Type Locality: SW Kenya, Mianzini, E of Lake Naivasha (Hollister, 1919).
Vernacular Names: Mianzini African Mole Rat.
Distribution: Known only from vicinity of type locality.
Conservation: IUCN - Endangered.
Discussion: Hollister (1919) noted the distinctively large size of the holotype and commented that none of the large series (at USNM) from S and SW of Lake Naivasha, identified as the small-bodied T. naivashae, approached it. Apparently the type locality has never been fixed ("either Masai-land or inland British East Africa " were given in the original description), but assumed to be in the vicinity of Mianzini because other field specimens of mammals accompanying the holotype of annectens were labeled with this locality. Hollister mentioned that the only other Tachyoryctes of so large a body size is the Mt Kenyan endemic T. rex. Locating the geographic source of the holotype of T. annectens and ascertaining its relationship to T. rex warrant further inquiry.

Comparative analysis of classification models for prostate cancer
Creators: name: Alqahtani, Khaled Saad

description: Among different types of cancers which occur in men, prostate cancer is the most commonly occurring one. However, prostate cancer epidemiology is not completely identified. Neither the causation nor pathogenesis of prostate cancer can be totally understood by today’s information. As a result, prostate cancer screening tests cannot always detect the disease. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test is the most widely used test to screen men for prostate cancer. However, PSA blood test adversaries accuse this test as rendering misguided results that lead to over-diagnosis and overtreatment. According to The National Cancer Institute, men who go through a prostate biopsy procedure because of an elevated PSA test result, only about 25 percent of them actually have prostate cancer. The other 75% of men might face the side effects of prostate biopsy which includes serious infections, pain, and bleeding.  This study utilized the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program data to identify some key risk factors for those patients who are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. In addition, an Artificial Neural Network has been implemented a long with the most used classification methods that include Logistic Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes classifier, Decision Tree classifier, and Support Vector Machine, in order to recognize prostate cancer in an early stage. All these classification methods’ results were analyzed using confusion matrix and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses.  This study found that age, ethnicity, family history of cancer, fat intake, vitamin D deficiency, inflammation of prostate, vasectomy, and hypertension are positively associated with prostate cancer. Although, obesity, alcohol abuse, and smoking were significantly associated with the prostate cancer, this association found to be negative. The result of classification methods’ tests showed that the Artificial Neural Network had success rates of 87.53% on NIS data and 99.31% on SEER data compared to Logistic Regression (81.71%, 84.95%), k-Nearest Neighbors (73.46%, 91.62%), Naïve Bayes classifier (70.86%, 86.56%), Decision Tree classifier (78.02%, 90.34%), and Support Vector Machine (72.33%, 88.52%).   In conclusion, this study tried to minimize the PSA false result by identifying more key risk factors and providing a prediction tool based on Artificial Neural Network to predict and to support the clinical decision in prostate cancer screening.

description: Naucoridae
Naucoridae is one of the richest families of aquatic bugs in Argentina, with 29 described species and subspecies in six genera (Coscarón 2017). Three species of Naucoridae have been reported from INR (Poi de Neiff 1993, 2003; Estévez et al. 2003; López Ruf 2004). During this study, we collected these species and another three, including Ambrysus attenuatus Montandon, 1897, which represents the first record of this species from Corrientes Province. Five species of Naucoridae (Ambrysus acutangulus Montandon, 1897; Cryphocricos barozzii Signoret, 1850; Limnocoris minutus De Carlo, 1951; Pelocoris binotulatus binotulatus (Stål, 1860); Pelocoris subflavus Montandon, 1898), reported from Corrientes Province (Coscarón 2017), have not been collected from INR.

Tachyoryctes ankoliae Thomas 1909, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 545.
Type Locality: SW Uganda, Burumba, Ankole.
Vernacular Names: Ankole African Mole Rat.
Distribution: SW Uganda (Hollister, 1919; Lunde and Sarmiento, 2002) NW Tanzania (Swynnerton and Hayman, 1951); limits unknown.
Conservation: IUCN - Vulnerable.
Discussion: Recorded as a species by Swynnerton and Hayman (1951) but as a subspecies of T. splendens by Delany (1975), who nevertheless noted the cranial traits by which ankoliae could be distinguished from the adjacent ruddi, which was also treated as a subspecies of T. splendens by Delany. Both T. ankoliae and T. ruddi were caught in the Kalinzu forest preserve in SW Uganda (Lunde and Sarmiento, 2002) and the two species apparently occur in NW Tanzania (see account of T. ruddi).

A retrospective analysis of in-patient temporomandibular disorders

description: Disorders of Temporomandibular Joint (including capsulitis of TMJ, degenerative arthritis, internal derangement, dislocation, myofacial pain, ankyloses, headache, sleep disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, Cranio-maxillofacial  trauma, and other related TMJ diseases) are some of the leading causes of chronic pain.     The serious personal consequences of severe, constant facial, head and neck pain from these disorders make these problems a major social issue. One of the greatest challenges facing health care systems internationally is meeting the health needs of their populations with the available resources especially for In-patient.     This study explored the association of temporomandibular joint complexity with socio-demographic variables, multidisciplinary management of the TMD during patient hospitalization and selected co-morbidities characteristics based on the 2003 to 2010 nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) of the health care cost and utilization project (HCUP) provided by the agency for health care research and quality (AHRQ) data for TMD In-patients between 2 and 97 years old.     There is a strong positive correlation between temporomandibular disorders and hypertension and a weaker but nonetheless positive correlation between temporomandibular disorders and diabetes, temporomandibular disorders and depression, and temporomandibular disorders and weight.     The finding of this study support the hypotheses that Socio-demographic factors (age, race, disposition of patient, primary expected payer, patient location, gender, source, length of stay, and median income) affect incidence of TMD and hospital stays, Comorbidities exist that are significantly related to TMD incidence and hospitalization costs.     Results of eight years nationwide epidemiological estimates of hospitalizations attributed to temporomandibular joint disorders in the United States demonstrate changes in socio-demonstrate and hospital related factors.    Also eight-year trend analysis of hospitalizations for temporomandibular disorders showed that mean length of stay between (3.06 - 3.25) while per year charge increased.

Ambrysus attenuatus Montandon, 1897: Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, 15–16.
Material examined. Laguna Iberá RS: 1 ♀, Lobo Cuá Stream, 28°32’37.14’’S, 57°12’3.89’’W, 2.xii.2012.
General distribution. Brazil, Argentina (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Very little information exists regarding the habitat associations of A. attenuatus other than its occurrence in streams (López Ruf 2007; López Ruf & Hernández 2007).
At the INR, this species was collected from a single locality, at the margins with dense floating, emergent, and submerged vegetation of Lobo Cuá Stream.
Remarks. The collection of A. attenuatus from INR represents the first record from Corrientes Province. Reynoso-Velasco & Sites (2021) considered it likely that this species, originally described in Ambrysus, is a member of the genus Australambrysus.

Tachyoryctes daemon Thomas 1909, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 545.
Type Locality: N Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro, 5000 ft (1524 m).
Vernacular Names: Demon African Mole Rat.
Distribution: N Tanzania in foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro, the Arushu area, upper limits of forest at 4000 m on Mt Meru, and in the west at Banagi in Mara Prov near Lake Victoria; limits of distribution unresolved.
Conservation: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt).
Discussion: Thomas (1909 b) remarked that daemon was "markedly smaller than in T. ibeanus " and could be distinguished from T. ankoliae by its linear sagittal crest and from T. ruddi by its "more abruptly and widely expanded zygomata." Genetic relationships between the small-bodied T. daemon, T. naivashae (north of Kenya-Tanzania border), and T. ruddi (SW Kenya, Mt Elgon, SW Uganda, and NW Tanzania) need to be evaluated to determine whether a single species is represented. Distribution and ecology of T. daemon on Mt Kilimanjaro reviewed by Grimshaw et al. (1995). Distributional records are from Hollister (1919) and Swynnerton and Hayman (1951), who also listed daemon as a species. The latter authors recorded the species from NW Tanzania but those occurrences likely represent T. ruddi (see that account).

Type Locality: SC Kenya, Machakos.
Vernacular Names: Kenyan African Mole Rat.
Distribution: S Kenya, near Nairobi and western margin of the Athi Plains (Hollister, 1919); limits require resolution.
Discussion: Musser and Carleton (1993) included ibeanus in T. splendens because ibeanus is geographically close to the range of T. splendens and was originally described as its subspecies (G. M. Allen, 1939). Since no empirical data as yet support the inclusion of ibeanus in T. splendens, we follow Hollister (1919) who identified series from SC Kenya as T. ibeanus. The genetic and distributional relationships between T. ibeanus and other named forms in S Kenya and N Tanzania require careful taxonomic revision.

Decision support and training system for management of endodontically treated teeth
Creators: name: Shah, Anjali B.

description: Endodontically treated teeth are often structurally compromised and require proper prosthodontic restoration following endodontic therapy to ensure long-term success. As a result and as the number of endodontic procedures in contemporary dentistry have steadily increased in the past decade, tooth restoration is becoming an integral part of restorative practice in everyday dentistry. Although the subject has been widely researched and published in dental literature, the topic of best way to restore root canal treated teeth still remains an area prone to high error rates in decision-making. Complexity of the domain is largely due to multi-factorial considerations and need for evaluation of a wide range of restorative techniques of varying intricacies. Determining the best restorative treatment plan following endodontic therapy requires sound knowledge of principles that span across multiple dental disciplines of endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics. Memorization of a large and ever-increasing number of decision rules to be meaningfully used at the point-of-care can be arduous, especially for dental students and less experienced clinicians. Clinical experts with their knowledge and years of experience treating patients can help in the process, but may not always be around to provide assistance. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment of such teeth can lead to adverse clinical consequences and significant inconvenience to the patient as well as financial implications both for the patient and provider. To address this problem, we have developed a clinical decision support and training system based on expert knowledge and evidence-based guidelines. Using Corvid expert system development framework and careful consideration of factors necessary for success of clinical decision support systems, we have developed a working prototype of a web-based, interactive system that can be launched at the operatory and can be easily integrated into providers’ workflow. One of the important goals of the system is to train users to think holistically like an expert while problem-solving and planning restorative treatment. Based on information entered by the user, system comes up with recommendations, alerts and treatment prognosis. Treatment options provided with justifying explanations can help clinicians provide decision-making rationale to the patients, better inform and educate them, and thus better manage their expectations and ensure their satisfaction and compliance.  Since the knowledge base of our system is developed using expert guidelines that are known to be effective, we expect to see improved restorative treatment outcomes for endodontically treated teeth.

(Figg. 20 e 101-102)
Materiale tipico:
Holotypus ♂, China: W-Sichuan, Ganzi Tibet. Aut. Pref. Yajiang Co., Shaluli Shan, 32 km WNW Yajiang, 4300 m, 30°08.07'N 100°42.38'E, 2.VII.1999, leg. A. Pütz (SMTD).
Descrizione:
Lunghezza 3 mm. Corpo lucido e bruno, addome nero-bruno, antenne brune con i tre antennomeri basali rossicci, zampe giallo-brune con femori bruni. Secondo antennomero lungo quanto il primo, terzo più corto del secondo, quarto lungo quanto largo, quinto a decimo trasversi. Occhi molto più corti delle tempie. Reticolazione dell’avancorpo evidente, quella dell’addome superficiale, ma evidente solo sulla metà posteriore del quinto urotergo libero. Punteggiatura del capo fine ed evanescente. Granulosità di pronoto ed elitre fitta, fine e poco saliente, quella dell’addome fitta, fine e superficiale. Edeago figg. 101-102.
Comparazioni:
L’edeago della nuova specie è simile a quello di T. parasmetanai Pace, 1999. Se ne distingue per l’undicesimo antennomero del ♂ lungo quanto i due precedenti antennomeri riuniti, mentre in parasmetanai l’undicesimo antennomero del ♂ è lungo quanto i tre precedenti antennomeri riuniti. L’incavo ventrale dell’edeago presso la «crista apicalis» è più ampio nella nuova specie che in parasmetanai e l’intercapedine apicale dello stesso edeago, in visione laterale, è lungo il doppio nella nuova specie rispetto quella corrispondente dell’edeago di parasmetanai.
Etimologia:
La nuova specie deriva il suo nome dal Tibet, ovviamente.

General distribution. Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina (Herrera 2013).
Habitat. Little information exists regarding the habitat associations of C. schadei. It has been collected in densely vegetated lagoons, marshlands and rivers (López Ruf 1988, 2004; Estévez et al. 2003; Torres et al. 2007).
At the INR, specimens were collected from the margins of the Iberá Lagoon in shallow waters with emergent and floating vegetation (Estévez et al. 2003) and in Iberá in association with Cabomba caroliniana, Salvinia sp., Pontederia crassipes, Nymphaea sp. and Lemnaceae (Poi de Neiff 1993; López Ruf 2004). During the present study, it was collected from unshaded margins with dense floating, emergent and submerged vegetation (mainly Pontederia crassipes, Myriophyllum aquaticum, Nymphoides indica and Salvinia biloba) in lentic habitats (ponds, Luna Lagoon, Galarza Lagoon, Medina Lagoon and ditches), and lotic habitats (Vizcaychipi channel and Isirí Stream) in standing or slow-moving water.
Remarks. This species was recorded from the Iberá Lagoon by López Ruf (2004).

Type Locality: Ethiopia, Shoa.
Vernacular Names: Ethiopian African Mole Rat.
Synonyms: Tachyoryctes hecki Neumann and Rümmler 1928.
Distribution: Ethiopia; endemic to high southern plateau, 3000-4150 m (Rupp, 1980; Yalden and Largen, 1992; Yalden et al., 1996).
Conservation: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Inhabitant of Afro-alpine moorland and grassland, which the species shares with the other Ethiopian endemics Stenocephalemys albocaudata, Lophuromys melanonyx, and Arvicanthis blicki (Yalden, 1988). The congenor T. splendens ranges from below 1000 m to about 3000 m, where it apparently overlaps the lower altitudinal distribution of T. macrocephalus (Rupp, 1980; Yalden et al., 1976). Yalden (1975) provided ecological observations for T. macrocephalus and morphologically contrasted it with T. splendens.

Material examined. Laguna Iberá RS: 2 ♀, Lobo Cuá Stream, 28°32’37.14’’S, 57°12’3.89’’W, 2.xii.2012; 1 ♀, Iberá Lagoon, sample 1, 2.xii.2012; 4 ♂, Baletón San Pedro, 3.xii.2012; 1 ♀, Fernández Lagoon, 11.xii.2014. San Nicolás RS: 1 ♂, marshland next to the barbecue area of the ranger station, 15.xii.2013; 1 ♀, marshland next to the house for the rangers, 15.xii.2013.
General distribution. Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Pelocoris binotulatus nigriculus has been found in ponds, lagoons (with aquatic vegetation), marshlands (densely vegetated), streams and rivers (Bachmann 1962c; Fontanarrosa et al. 2004; López Ruf 2004; Melo & Nieser 2004; Torres et al. 2007).
At the INR, specimens were collected from the margins of the Iberá Lagoon in shallow waters with emergent and floating vegetation (Estévez et al. 2003) and in Iberá in association with Salvinia biloba, Salvinia sp., Pontederia crassipes, Nymphaea sp., and Lemnaceae (Poi de Neiff 2003; López Ruf 2004). During the present study, it was collected from unshaded margins with dense floating, emergent and submerged vegetation (mainly P. crassipes and S. biloba) in lentic habitats (Iberá Lagoon, Fernández Lagoon and marshlands), and lotic habitats (Lobo Cuá Stream) in standing or slow-moving water.
Remarks. The only published record from Colombia (Morales-Castaño & Molano-Rendón 2008) needs confirmation.

Tachyoryctes naivashae Thomas 1909, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 547.
Type Locality: S Kenya, Lake Naivasha, 6350 ft (1935 m).
Vernacular Names: Navivasha African Mole Rat.
Distribution: Kenya; recorded from plains S and SW of Lake Naivasha to near the Tanzanian border (Hollister, 1919); may also occur in N Tanzania.
Conservation: IUCN - Endangered.
Discussion: Considered by Thomas (1909 b:547) to be the smallest in body size of the East African Tachyoryctes and occurring "quite close" to the two largest (T. annectens and T. storeyi). "Its small size and flattened skull will readily separate it from any other form" (Thomas, 1909 b). See Hollister (1919) for notes on habitat and collection localities.

description: For the last several years the topic of literacy coaching as a form of professional development for improving teacher practice and raising student achievement has dominated the research landscape. Findings from a wide range of studies focusing on literacy coaching have provided a clear description of factors that can be useful in determining what effective literacy coaches do  (Thao, 2013; Collett, 2012). On the other hand  an equal amount of evidence exists describing the different roles of literacy coaches that often result in  coaches being ineffective by spreading themselves too thin. (Bean & Dagen, 2012; Kissell, Mraz, Algozzine, & Stover, 2011).   To date, literacy coaching roles remain ill defined.  Role inconsistencies coupled with shrinking budgets have caused many districts to eliminate or change the coach’s position (Ippolito, 2012).  Most of what has been gathered regarding literacy coaching has focused on coaches working in elementary schools with little research on the role of the middle school literacy coach (Marsh et al, 2008).    The purpose of this study was to determine and define the middle school coaching roles and responsibilities that teachers, literacy coaches, and principals perceived as most important and the types of support and challenges experienced by the coach.  In addition, this study addressed the need for research that centers on the perspectives of those being coached (Shanklin, 2007).   More importantly, previous research has determined that knowing stakeholders' precepts might help middle school literacy coaches become more efficient  and valuable  resources for teachers, principals, and coaches (Thao, 2013).     In this narrative, cased-based, and descriptive study, data analysis of semi-structured interviews, the literacy coach’s monthly activity coaching logs, and field observational notes were triangulated to determine which roles and responsibilities were perceived to be most important.  Resultant composite narratives of all participants were consistent. The three roles perceived as most important by middle school literacy coaches were identified as Coach as Collaborative Resource Manager, Coach as Coplanner and Coach as Administrative Task Manager (Moran, 2007).  Compared to previous understanding of effective coaching roles  these roles have the least impact in changing teacher practice. Types of support identified included principal and district-wide support. Challenges identified were funding, teacher resistance, role ambiguity, and establishing relationships. Implications for practice and future research recommendations are discussed.
Embedding vocabulary instruction into the art experience

description: The Arts are a core academic subject necessary to prepare students for the 21st century. Art Standards demand that students know, use and apply appropriate visual and verbal vocabulary for the arts. Common Core ELA Standards for Vocabulary Use and Acquisition also demand students use grade-appropriate, domain specific vocabulary. The problem is that art standards imply that students will learn this vocabulary mostly through the processes of creating and critiquing art. The research on vocabulary has supported explicit instruction and rich extended exposure to words. Yet, there is limited research on using hands-on engagement in the arts combined with evidence-based strategies to provide rich experiences to learn vocabulary. The questions that guided this study were:  How do children use art vocabulary when it is explicitly taught with evidenced-based vocabulary strategies in an art unit on sculpture? Does the explicit vocabulary instruction improve students’ performance on assessments? The study was rooted in Vygotsky’s theory of Social Constructivism where learning was scaffolded. Students constructed knowledge through social situations within their zone of proximal development.  Methods  This teacher action research used instrumental case study design. A 14-week unit of art study on sculpture was designed that included interactive word wall activities, illustrating words, vocabulary tally chart, explicit vocabulary instruction through the use of read-aloud and art discussions, and journal writing for four third grade students during their weekly art class. Pre/post quizzes and vocabulary self-rating scales were administered to assess the outcome of the study. Interviews, observations, documents, artifacts and field notes were collected before, during, and after vocabulary instruction.  Results  Findings indicated that students used words in a variety of ways while sculpting with clay. Explicit vocabulary instruction through the use of read-alouds and interactive word wall activities helped teach and encourage students to use art vocabulary. It also increased performance on assessments. The visual and social environment of the art room emerged as one way to help students make meaning of art vocabulary. The results also suggest that evidence- based literacy strategies may be used and modified to meet the needs of special area subjects/content areas where teacher and student contact time is limited.

description: Notonectidae
Notonectidae is represented in Argentina by 24 species in three genera (Coscarón 2017). Poi de Neiff (1993) and Estévez et al. (2003) previously reported four species from INR. During this study, we collected these species and another three, including Buenoa unguis Truxal, 1953, which represents the first record of this species from Corrientes Province. Four species of Notonectidae (Buenoa platycnemis (Fieber, 1851); Martarega guarani Mazzucconi, 2011; M. uruguayensis (Berg, 1883); Notonecta disturbata Hungerford, 1926), reported from Corrientes Province (Bachmann 1962 a, 1963, 1971; Nieser 1970a; López Ruf et al. 2003; Mazzucconi 2008, 2011; Torres et al. 2008), have not been collected from INR.

The revolving door

description: One of the most significant events in the life of a school and a school district is a change in leadership (Hargreaves & Fink, 2006; Hargreaves & Goodson, 2006; Hargreaves, Moore, Fink, Brayman, & White, 2003).  The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to examine how tenured teachers have experienced frequent administrative succession in one specific school district and how their experiences have shaped the culture of the district. Unfortunately, there is little research documenting teachers’ experiences with frequent administrative turnover. I examined the phenomenon of frequent change in leadership in my school district (referred to as succession in the literature) through a micropolitical framework.   Using a qualitative approach, this study explored how teachers experience the phenomenon of frequent administrative turnover.  I interviewed and examined the responses of nine middle and high school teachers from one school district who have been employed in the same school district for at least ten years and have experienced frequent changes in leadership.  The data suggest that the frequent administrative succession in the district has led teachers to feel “leaderless” and frustrated with the “revolving door” of administrators.  The teachers indicated they do not trust the administration.  Trust is developed over time and the majority of administrators do not remain in the district long enough to develop trusting relationships with the staff.  While the findings are not generalizable, they may be transferable and of interest to administrators and boards of education in other districts experiencing frequent administrative turnover (Marshall & Rossman, 2006).  The purpose of this study was to acknowledge the experiences of the participants and hopefully, influence decision-makers to consider the possible important effects of this phenomenon.  The significance of this study is twofold: It will add to the limited research that documents teachers’ individual experiences with frequent administrative turnover and provide research regarding the frequent turnover of the building principals in addition to various administrative positions which is currently lacking in existing literature.
The intervention and referral process

description: This study will examine the Intervention and Referral process (I&RS) in Gardenia School District.  This district has been cited by the State of New Jersey Department of Education for overrepresentation of minority students in special education.  Overrepresentation of minority students in special education is problematic because it implies students may be inappropriately placed in special education and/or denied access to general education placements.  Thus, this study discusses the disproportionate representation of minority students placed into special education programs, with a specific focus on English Language Learners (ELLs), while exploring school practices that may improve the quality of education for both ELLs and non-ELLs.  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the teacher and administrator perceptions of the I&RS process in terms of procedures in meeting the needs of all students and determining correct placements of students in general education or special education settings.   Additionally, this study aims to determine areas for improvement in terms of essential components of the I&RS process such as multi-disciplinary teams, teacher training, instructional interventions and assessment for ELLs, and follow-up.    This study employs a qualitative case study approach with mixed methods data analyses to provide a comprehensive analysis of the I&RS process at the elementary school level in this District.  Data collection included a survey distributed to the four elementary schools in Gardenia School District, interviews with ten key participants in the I&RS process, and document review based on public documents pertaining to demographic data.  Findings of this study suggest that Gardenia School District has been adjusting the I&RS process to help meet the needs of students who are struggling in general education and to determine appropriate special education referrals.  However, there are still areas for improvement for essential components of the I&RS process.  Gardenia School District could further improve I&RS the process by enhancing multi-disciplinary teams, teacher preparation and training with language-based interventions, varied instructional interventions and assessment for ELLs, and providing both short and long-term follow-up throughout the I&RS process.  An advanced process could better service students in general education and provide meaningful data to determine appropriate educational placements.
