Well, after discussing my topic with my site supervisor, we have decided that it would be best if I changed to a different focus for my action research. Fortunately, the topic we decided on was already on my short list. :)
My district strives to close the achievement gap between our economically advantaged students and our economically disadvantaged students. Research points to a lack of experiences among our children of poverty as a critical factor in the differences in student performance amongst these two student groups. While in school, we provide students with a rich array of experiences to deepen their understanding. However, during the summer, most economically disadvantaged students do not engage in intervention or enrichment programs, while non-economically disadvantaged students attend summer camps and intervention programs. The study will focus on how formal intervention or enrichment programs in science during the summer impact student achievement. It will determine the change in student achievement from spring to fall in students who attend formal instructional science programs in the summer.
