Option 1

 * Article title
 * Education Policy


 * Article Evaluation
 * Through my college experience, I have become much more aware of what I believe politically. Naturally, along with my passion of education, I have become passionate about deficits in education across the country and also the entire world. It is 2021 and there are still many children who are not receiving an education. This wikipedia page lacks information on the importance of educational policy and how it has power to change the course of the educational system.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * School-to-Prison Pipeline


 * Article Evaluation
 * This might be too political, but Wikipedia fails to state that the school to prison pipeline disproportionately impacts BIPOC and is racism integrated into the school systems. I think there could be more statistics on how this impacts students who are black, indigenous, and other people of color. I think this makes the issue in American schools much more obvious to readers.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language


 * Article Evaluation
 * English Language Learners are a large population of students that are typically underserved and then continue to under underperform. Wikipedia is lacking in their information on effectively teaching english as a second or foreign language. There are certifications that make these practices more effective and lots of information that could be beneficial to educators.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Inclusion


 * Article Evaluation
 * Inclusion has quickly become key part of education as we are working to create classroom environments that are welcoming and open to all. While Wikipedia offers a variety of information on inclusion in the classroom, there seems to be a lack of information on how to successfully implement it in a way that is effective.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Classroom Management


 * Article Evaluation
 * In order to make Wikipedia's Classroom Management article more effective and informational, I believe that we could add some common rules that are general in the classroom but still positive. Usually, fewer, more concise rules are most effective in a classroom but I feel it is hard to find rules that encompass all the ideas without being too aggressive.
