Education Research Proposal Tutoring Plan for Students...

Abstract Public schools who have not made adequate yearly progress (AYP) by increasing student academic achievement are required under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), to offer those students in low-income families the opportunity to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES). This research proposal will explore different types of tutoring models and offer an approach to help close the gap in the learning process of these students. Using a rigorous tutoring plan and implementing the plan early in the school year will give these students a head start in their academic journey. Assessment with a pre-test and post-test will be required to assess whether the students have mastered all the objectives taught during the tutoring sessions.†¦show more content†¦Research has shown however, that there is very little information available on the effectiveness of different organizations entering into the market of providing tutoring to these students and their families. It is now up to schools themselves to asses the needs of students and address them with the most effective and efficient tool of accountability, and to have this readily available for public view. Districts face considerable challenges with inventing creative ways to get these under-achievers interested in SES programs. A few problem addressed in recent research is the timely notification of parents and continued notification with updates of existing programs. Another is the rigor of the content being taught in the tutoring; often the interventions are profuse and methodical in their approach. Still yet the biggest problem with these programs is the attendance factor. With a careful review of research showing that very few studies measure attendance, or made the distinction between a planned programs duration and actual student attendance or engagement. While there are distinct correlations between attendance and program effectiveness, the exposure time of some interventions were inadequat e or not measured at all. With this being said how will schools, districts, and states keep up with requirements for the race for all childrenShow MoreRelatedTeacher Action Research Paper on Reading Deficiencies in 2nd Grade Students12146 Words   |  49 PagesNOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY MATL Action Research Project VERIFICATION COVER SHEET MATL Student Name and NSU ID ARP School Site Where Project was Implemented: ___________________ Elementary School Dates of Implementation: AUGUST 2008 – JANUARY 2009 School Site Address and Phone: ARP One-sentence Problem Statement: By incorporating cooperative learning, guided reading and Reader’s Theatre, this research educator improved nineteen second grade at risk students reading comprehension levels by increasingRead MoreMedicare Policy Analysis447966 Words   |  1792 PagesDINGELL (for himself, Mr. RANGEL, Mr. WAXMAN, Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California, Mr. STARK, Mr. PALLONE, and Mr. ANDREWS) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Education and Labor, Ways and Means, Oversight and Government Reform, the Budget, Rules, Natural Resources, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the
