The components of the curriculum model have evolved from the authors' experience in mainstreaming, cross-cultural coursework, and other related teacher-training programs. The major theme of the model is that effectiveness in working with people from other cultures is a product of the complex and subtle interactions between emotion (affective environment) and cognition (the intellectuallacademic environment). The cross-cultural training components follow the general guidelines of Bloom's taxonomy: awareness, knowledge and application. From the training, special education specialists become more cognizant and adaptive to the needs of limited English proficient and culturally diverse students who are learning or communicatively handicapped. Suggestions for adaptation and implementation of the model are included.

The ways in which standards are being used as the basis for curriculum and accountability systems vary greatly from one country to another. Higher education in Albania is undergoing a variety of changes due to such reform movements. Albanian universities also are transforming their curricula as the result of the Bologna Process, restructuring their four year integrated teacher preparation programs to a three-year B.A. plus a Master of Art’s Program. This article will focus on issues such as what standards are and specifically in education; why we need to change from a course-based system to a standards-based system; and how specifically one university has applied these changes.

The research looked for developmental stages in writing in the primary language, similarities or differences for the second language, the beginning of spontaneous second-language writing, and occurrence and results of social interaction during journal writing. It was found that the children approached the writing task from unique and individual perspectives, combining drawing and writing in early journals, experimenting with alphabetic forms and shapes, writing lists, and repeating patterns of letters, words, and sentences. They used early journals for egocentric writing activities, actively constructing writing schema through manipulation and experimentation.
