In today’s America, not every child starts on a level playing field, and very few children move ahead based solely on hard work or talent. Generational poverty and a lack of cultural capital hold many students back, robbing them of the opportunity to move up professionally and socially. Children of immigrants are especially at-risk because, in addition to facing poverty, race, geographical location or economic disadvantages, they are also confronted with failure due to their limited or non-existent English proficiency. This study focuses on the degree to which teachers in a mid-sized urban school district take into consideration the individual needs of immigrant children in the process of their education. The study also examines the preparation teachers have had to equip them with knowledge of best practices in teaching immigrant children, and the relationship between teachers’ practices, beliefs, and their demographic and personal characteristics (age, gender, years of experience, level of education, etc.). Quantitative data was collected via a survey. Interviews with teachers and one central office administrator provided data for the qualitative section of the study. The findings revealed that teachers, in general, appeared to lack knowledge of specific policies for mainstreaming immigrant students into general education classrooms; their use of effective teaching practices for working with immigrant children were limited; and most of the teachers had not participated actively in professional development that focused on teaching immigrant children.

The ideas of the article are based on the high social significance of discussing the practices of inclusive interaction in various spheres of life and ensuring the variability of approaches to the integration of children with special educational needs into the general education system. On the basis of the environmental approach in education, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors, the basic principles are outlined and the general difficulties of the functioning of inclusive practice at the present stage are identified. The strategy of applying the vector approach to the examination and modeling of the environment of inclusive interaction and designing ways to improve it for the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in school is justified. On the basis of the generalized results of the survey of teachers who organize the education of children with disabilities in non-specialized classes, the features and the type of relations that are currently developing in the joint education of schoolchildren with different educational needs during their integration into a single educational space are characterized. Using the methodology of psychological and pedagogical expertise of the school environment, the typification of the most characteristic influences exerted at modern schools on a child with a developmental disorder is carried out. The emerging dominant modality of the educational environment, its orientation to the development of relationships between teachers and peers, based on the priority of stimulating the activity of the individual with different degrees of manifestation of its freedom or dependence, is revealed. The article describes potential capabilities of each of the diagnosed types of environment in terms of its resources for ensuring freedom of choice of activities, stimulating activity, developing students' independence, and forming their personal characteristics. The diagnosed priority of creative and career-oriented orientation allowed us to draw conclusions about the currently established approaches to the inclusion of children with deviant development in the environment of normotypic peers.

In the context of global trends in the humanization of education, issues of differentiation, individualization and personalization of education are actively discussed. At the same time, the key question remains – how to preserve the individual capabilities, interests and needs of each student while maintaining collective learning formats? How to take into account the personal characteristics and capabilities of each when passing and mastering general education programs? One such solution was the PCBL personalized learning platform developed in the USA. Currently, the Khoroshevskaya school is introducing and adapting this platform to the Russian conditions of education. The article examines the specific case of implementing a system of personalized competency-based education in a separate school – what problems, barriers and difficulties are encountered in its implementation. The study is built in the logic of qualitative research on the basis of high-quality research interviews with the main participants in the educational process in the context of introducing a personalized learning system.

Schools ordinarily support establishing or increasing target behaviors, for example, increasing the number of letter sounds mastered or the frequency of social initiations; however, supporting the reduction of target behaviors is also an important goal of behavior analytic practice in schools. Although numerous target behaviors may warrant functional assessment and subsequent reduction at the individual level (e.g., aggression, self-injurious behavior), this chapter focuses on describing the implementation of and research outcomes related to reductive interventions designed to help teachers decrease disruptive, inappropriate, off-task, or problem behavior in general education classrooms. Reductive interventions describe strategies that explicitly target reduced levels of a target behavior. These interventions may be implemented to address chronic problem behaviors that may have been unresponsive to other positive interventions. The chapter describes various reductive strategies that may be implemented at a Tier I level, such as time-out, think time, and structured recess.

The article is devoted to the importance of the connection of the type of the nervous system and self-regulation in the professional development of future teachers. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that the formation of the foundations of selfregulation occurs during the period of training, when the process of personality formation takes place. Self-regulation of activity has its own characteristics among representatives of various areas of professional training and is associated with the structure of their temperament. Nowadays, the most urgent problem is the introduction of a differentiated approach into educational practice, but for its implementation an in-depth study of the individual typological and behavioral characteristics of students in pedagogical training areas is necessary. Since the modern high demands on the personal qualities and professional activities of teachers on the part of students and their parents, colleagues and heads of educational institutions are serious external incentives in the teacher’s work on himself. It is obvious that the success of pedagogical activity, in many respects depends on the ability of the future teacher to regulate his professional activities and personal characteristics. The aim of the study was to identify the types of temperament in future teachers, the formation of self-regulation and the relationship between them. The results obtained allow us to more effectively implement a personality-oriented approach in accordance with the specifics of the educational and professional orientation of students. To solve the tasks and verify the consistency of the hypothesis, the study used a combination of informative, reliable, complementary research methods. The data obtained during testing were subjected to mathematical processing in the SPSS program, Pearson’s correlation analysis was used, which allowed us to identify the relationship between the type of nervous system and the level of self-regulation.

Examined are classroom teachers' perceptions and use of instructional adaptations in general education classes. General educators were found to be positive about the desirability/effectiveness and reasonability/feasibility of making instructional adaptations for students with disabilities. However, research also revealed that when these students are included in general education classrooms, their teachers are unlikely to alter their traditional whole-group instructional strategies in favor of specific individualized adaptations. In interpreting this inconsistency, we found that the literature identified lack of teacher training and limited school support as barriers to classroom teachers' being able to accommodate the individual needs of students in inclusive settings. Implications for practice and for future research are discussed.

Psychological correction of Internet addiction is possible by means of art therapy. The advantage of the method is that art therapy acts in the language of visual and plastic expression, which is especially effective in working with adolescents and allows you to use it as a tool for research, development, and harmonization in cases where it is difficult for a teenager to express his emotions verbally. Modern studies of the relationship between Internet addiction and personality traits in adolescents, the relationship between the propensity to Internet addiction and character accentuations in adolescents, and the differences in personality traits and character accentuations of Internet-addicted boys and girls have been analyzed. There is a lack of scientific research on the effectiveness of psychological correction and prevention of Internet addiction among adolescents, taking into account their personal characteristics. Identifying and taking into account such features will further individualize the process of correctional, developmental, and psychoprophylactic activity of a psychologist. A description of the study of the effectiveness of methods in adolescents is given. The results of the analysis of the personality traits of adolescents prone to Internet addiction are presented. The personality traits of adolescents prone to Internet addiction include instability of the emotional sphere, self-doubt and increased personal anxiety, a reduced level of social and emotional intelligence. These personality traits create difficulties in the adolescent's communication with others and his interaction with society and also lead to difficulties in the further socialization of the individual. This further engages teenagers in using the Internet. The analysis of personality traits made it possible to develop a program for correcting Internet addiction in adolescents. Comparative results showed that the number of subjects at risk with Internet addiction and propensity to it decreased. The effectiveness of the developed program is noted.

A retrospective psychological analysis of materials of 102 civil matters (comprehensive judicial psychological-psychiatric examination, CJPPE) on judicial dispute about raising a child in case of separation of parents (53 fathers and 49 mothers) made it possible to identify the relationship between the individual psychological characteristics of parents and the structure of family conflict, as well as features of child-parent relationships. Revealed that the features of personal maturity in both sexes were positive and prognostically favorable both in terms of overcoming the negative effects of a divorce and in terms of preserving harmonious parent-child relationships. Negative and prognostically unfavorable predispositions can be attributed to demonstrative traits in parents of both sexes and a tendency toward affective rigidity in men. Parents with traits of personal immaturity constituted a separate group that did not intersect with carriers of other personality traits, and in general reflected the problem of unpreparedness for marriage and family relations.
