Abstract
Rapid economic, social, and
technological changes affecting the entire world have not spared universities,
which are under increasing pressure from students and their parents who are
demanding more value for money. Furthermore, international competition among
universities is picking up steam. As a result, many universities around the
world are experimenting with and adopting new technologies in order to gain more
customers and funds. Many Ethiopian universities are well-known around the
world as prestigious research institutions. However, if they remain idle, their
prestigious positions are likely to dwindle over time. The topic of innovation
has received a lot of attention in recent years, as some innovative companies
have achieved quite remarkable results by manufacturing innovative products and
providing innovative services. Little emphasis has been placed on innovation
and how universities can capitalize on it. One possible explanation for the
failure to do so is that many universities were enjoying their usual stream of
students and government funding. However, this is changing as a result of
increased tuition fees, and recent governmental policies have resulted in
further funding cuts. Employee well-being and the work environment are two
important factors that are almost always linked to innovation. However, as this
study shows, there are numerous pressures placed on members of staff in
Ethiopian universities. As a result, unless these pressures and issues are
addressed, it is unlikely that any innovation will occur.

I have the topic already. Description
This research paper is a broad review of literature surrounding a specific topic or practice related to individuals with intellectual disabilities.  It is a review of current literature.  It is not a position paper.
Using your text, you may identify several current valued practices that have been reported in the literature as critical to quality service delivery for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As a professional in the field, it is important that you examine these issues by reviewing the literature.  With this in mind, you are required to choose one of the current valued practices listed, conduct a review of the literature, and write a synthesis of your findings. A section of your lit review must review current policies and practices in Mississippi but the majority of your review should center on federal policy and research based practice.  Broad topics are listed here.  You may use your text to identify specific topics.  Your specific topic must be approved prior to beginning your research paper.
Broad suggestions (you will need to drill down to a specific question under one of these broad topics).
• Family Partnerships
• Transdisciplinary Service Delivery
• Inclusive Environments and Opportunities (including Effective Schools)
• Peer Relationships and Friendships
• Self-Determination and/or Self-Advocacy
• Positive Behavior Support

Defining and analyzing a particular problem of practice is an effective exercise for making preliminary determinations for considering a topic for your future dissertation. For this assignment, you will utilize literature, research, data, and resources to help better inform you on all aspects of a problem related to current issues in educational leadership. Then, you will identify strategies to address this problem. This exercise also mirrors the research process for any research paper.
Expand on the Problem of Practice PowerPoint you completed in the previous module by converting it into a 6-8 page paper. Be sure to incorporate any feedback you received from your instructor. 
Your paper should be formatted according to current APA guidelines (including a Title Page – however, an Abstract is not necessary) and include the following headings:
Introduction (include the purpose of the paper and the problem being discussed)
Background of the Problem (Describe the problem, root causes for why the problem exists, and why the problem is important.  Also, including negative consequences if the problem is not addressed)
Importance of the Problem (describe why the problem is important to address, including in what ways various individuals and people are impacted by this problem – also address the negative consequences that result if the problem is not addressed)
Potential Remedies (identify a potential solution or solutions to addressing the problem)
Implementation Challenges (discuss what will be required to apply your solution(s) – also address potential unintended consequences that may arise)
Summary (briefly summarize the contents of the paper)
Each section (except the introduction and summary) should be supported by scholarly citations from multiple sources.
Submission Instructions:
The paper is to be clear and concise, and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling.
The paper should be formatted per current APA and 6-8 pages in length, excluding the title, abstract, and references page.
