This study examines some of the ways institutional policies and practices can support or hinder the successful transition to post-secondary education for Indigenous people. Tracing the path from Indigenous high school student to post-secondary education applicant and utilizing knowledge gained from interviews, focus groups, and online surveys as part of an institutional ethnography approach, we offer recommendations for institutions and applicants to help increase enrollment and enhance the success of Indigenous post-secondary students. We share implications for institutions and post-secondary education applicants utilizing self-identification or cultural identity tracking.

Abstract Purpose: To describe and analyze educational and post-high school participation of individuals who sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) during childhood and participated in a state-wide school-based brain injury support program, BrainSTEPS in Pennsylvania (BrainSTEPS). Method: Retrospective analysis of programmatic information and data collected through electronic and phone surveys during a follow-up survey for a statewide, school-based, school consultation program for students with ABI. Participants: Caregivers reported on 190 individuals with ABI who participated in Pennsylvania’s BrainSTEPS Program. Results: Individuals post-ABI who participated in the BrainSTEPS were most likely to have experienced a mild ABI in high school due to sports. Post-injury, students were most likely to be enrolled in regular education, have graduated high school, pursued four-year college education and be attending post-secondary education and living with family. Additional significant relationships were not reported within the concussion or moderate-severe traumatic brain injury subgroups. Significant relationships for educational outcomes included higher likelihood of regular educational placement at the time of referral given an older grade at injury and regular educational placement before injury. For post-high school outcomes, a younger age at survey was associated with current attendance in post-secondary education, compared to other vocational options. Conclusions: Individuals with a history of ABI before school age and during primary and secondary education present with heterogeneous educational and post-high school outcomes. A greater breadth of measures of formal and informal educational and vocational supports and post-high school attainment should be implemented to accurately capture the needs and outcomes of these students to inform supports and services.

Plagiarism is a term that one becomes familiar with in high school with increasing consequences in post-secondary education. As we progress in our education, we are alerted to the dangers of plagiarism, but do we all share the same understanding of the term? A review of the literature demonstrates that not all professional journals, editors, or academicians are aligned with what is considered plagiarism. The issue becomes more complicated when defining the length of copied text that constitutes plagiarism and the intentionality of the act of plagiarism. This chapter reviews the plethora of definitions of plagiarism, different types, and inconsistencies and consequences overtime to bring to light the myriad interpretations and manifestations of the elusive interpretations.
