Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work as a special education teacher has substantial merit, she failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor has national importance. The evidence did not show that her work would have broader implications for her field beyond the specific students and educators at the institution where she would teach.
