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.

In Ontario, elementary and secondary school programs such as "School Success" and legislation such as Education for All have greatly increased the success of students with disabilities. Success at the secondary school level means that more students with disabilities are choosing to attend postsecondary institutions. This paper focuses on the transition of students with invisible disabilities from secondary to post-secondary education. Universal Instructional Design is reviewed as an appropriate teaching tool for the postsecondary level, as it allows for increased access to meaningful learning experiences for students with and without disabilities. At this point in time, rights-based inclusion is still a novel concept and post-secondary educators struggle with what it means and what it looks like to include learners with disabilities. Issues that prevent the rights of individuals with special needs from being realized include access to higher education, limited funding, and employment equity.

The rapid development of technology has pushed the need for the teaching and learning process in secondary schools on a technology basis. Thus, secondary education must align itself with technological advances where one of the steps that can be taken is to implement technology-based learning or e-learning. Therefore, this study aims to formulate criteria and indicators for technology assessment with a technometric methodology, where these criteria will be grouped into 4 aspects, namely Technoware, Humanware, Infoware, and Orgaware. Through this research, it will be known whether the implementation of e-learning at the secondary education level has met the standards needed by students in developing their potential. So, the results obtained are that in the instrument of degrees of sophistication in e-learning at the high school level (SMA) there are components of supporting technology in e-learning in high school education, including technoware, humanware, infoware and orgaware which consists of criteria, sub-criteria, and sub-sub-criteria. ABSTRAK Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, mendorong kebutuhan dalam proses belajar mengajar di sekolah menengah dengan basis teknologi. Maka, pendidikan menengah harus menyelaraskan diri dengan kemajuan teknologi dimana salah satu langkah yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan melaksanakan pembelajaran yang berbasis teknologi atau e-learning. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan kriteria dan indikator penilaian teknologi atau e-learning dengan metodologi teknometrik, dimana kriteria tersebut akan dikelompokkan menjadi 4 aspek yaitu Technoware, Humanware, Infoware, dan Orgaware. Melalui penelitian ini akan diketahui apakah pelaksanaan e-learning di jenjang pendidikan menengah sudah memenuhi standar yang dibutuhkan peserta didik dalam mengembangkan potensinya. Maka, hasil yang diperoleh bahwa di dalam instrumen derajat kecanggihan dalam e-learning tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) terdapat komponen – komponen teknologi pendukung dalam e-learning pada pendidikan menengah atas antara lain technoware, humanware, infoware dan orgaware yang di dalamnya terdiri dari kriteria, sub kriteria, dan sub-sub kriteria.

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.
