  • Title: Investigating the Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Academic Achievement: A Quantitative Research Study

    (These are the two topics I think would be interesting for a research study: these were the ones i put for an earlier discussion 
    Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Academic Achievement: The important implications this topic has for social mobility and educational equity makes it very interesting. An individual’s or family’s socioeconomic status (SES) is their place in society, based on their income, education, and line of work, among other things. The topic of study would investigate how differences in SES affect the opportunities and results that students have in school. A number of factors are important in determining academic achievement, including parental involvement in education, the availability of supportive community networks, tutoring, technology, textbooks, and access to high-quality schools. By examining researchers can learn effective strategies for addressing educational inequality and fostering academic success for all students by looking at these factors across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. 
    Effectiveness of Technology Integration in Early Childhood Education: Given the increasing influence of digital technology in modern society, it is important to understand how early childhood education is affected by it. The purpose of this study is to explore the benefits and challenges of incorporating technology into preschool and kindergarten environments. Interactive learning, personalized instruction, and increased engagement are all made possible by digital tools and educational software. However, issues with screen time, possible distractions, and equitable access to technology also need to be taken into account. Researchers can provide guidance for best practices for integrating technology into early childhood education by evaluating the cognitive development, social-emotional growth, and academic outcomes of young learners exposed to technology-rich environments. Additionally, evaluating the long-term effects of technology integration can help clarify how it helps ensure that all students educational experiences are fair and developmentally appropriate while also preparing kids for success in a more digital world.)
    Discussion post:
    Research question post (22 points)
    In your post, you need:
    A very brief description of your general topic. You may copy and paste anything from previous discussion assignments without attribution for this. The purpose of this is just to give broader context for the research question.
    Your quantitative research question related to that topic. You must have at least one sentence that is a question, but you can include supporting statements to clarify your question as needed.
    The rubric for the above is as follows:
    [2 points] Topic description is present.
    [2 points] Research question is in question form.

  • “Creating a Safe and Inclusive Learning Environment: My Internship Experience at Springfield Middle School” “Enhancing the Learning Environment: Exploring the Impact of Differentiated Instruction and Support Services on Student Data and Academic Success”

    I must complete a 4 to 5 page essay about my intership experience at Springfield Middle School in Jacksonville, FL. It is a B-rated school in Duval County Public Schools. The breakdown of the essay should go as follows:
    Critical Task Essay Breakdown
    When you complete your document, it must be organized in a logical, easy-to-follow manner that includes the following:
    an introductory section that provides a guide to your paper,
    body of your essay that is supported with

    current scholarly research,
    the targeted FPLS Standard for each course,
    and finally, a reflective conclusion that pulls it all together.- using “I” is appropriate for this section
    My internship hours were limited because the end of school came so quickly and my mentor was insanely busy. This task requires me to tie internship experiences on campus to standard 5 of the FPLS matrix. The experiences will have to be made up unfortunately. The professor is looking to see that I understand how the tasks tie into the standard. The language of that Standard 5 domain is as follows: 
    Standard 5. Learning Environment: Effective school leaders structure and monitor a school learning environment that improves learning for all of
    Florida’s diverse student population. 
    a. Maintains a safe, respectful and inclusive student-centered
    learning environment that is focused on equitable
    opportunities for learning and building a foundation for a
    fulfilling life in a democratic society and global economy;
    b. Recognizes and uses diversity as an asset in the
    development and implementation of procedures and
    practices that motivate all students and improve student
    learning; 
    c. Promotes school and classroom practices that validate and
    value similarities and differences among students; 
    d. Provides recurring monitoring and feedback on the quality
    of the learning environment; 
    e. Initiates and supports continuous improvement processes
    focused on the students’ opportunities for success and wellbeing; and, 
    f. Engages faculty in recognizing and understanding cultural
    and developmental issues related to student learning by
    identifying and addressing strategies to minimize and/or
    eliminate achievement gaps.
    Below are the instructions for the Essay from Canvas. I am a M.Ed students so we must follow the parameters listed for that.
    CTE Internship (M.Ed.) / Case Study (M.A.): This internship/case study activity focuses on cultivating a supportive school community that promotes academic success and well-being. First, review district/building safety plans and protocols. Participate in or lead a safety drill (fire, intruder, weather) participate in preparation and reporting.

Observe the process for a discipline referral according to district procedure. Comment on how the process impacted the student and what could be improved for the future. Discuss how the school counselor and/or behavior specialist were or could have been involved in the process. Review the student code of conduct and compare its application to disciplinary statistics for race/ gender /attendance, if disparate, write an improvement plan. Next, observe a classroom and provide feedback about instructional strategies driven by standards-aligned content used to minimize or eliminate achievement gaps. This could include differentiated or specialized instructional techniques, life skills, social skills, and mental health / behavioral and culturally relevant instruction for all subgroups. Participants will analyze and report on instruction and support services (including the role of the School Counselor) that may be needed for all students to reach high academic standards while maintaining a safe school environment. This Critical Task Essay will incorporate the internship/case study, FELS Standard 5 (Learning Environment), scholarly research, and coursework.
    Internship Selections: 1. Examine data for identification, placement, student services support (school counselor and/or behavior specialist) and discipline for a selected subgroup and examine whether or not differentiated instruction and/or support services could impact school/district data and the learning environment. Note strengths and make suggestions for improvement of instruction and support services for these students. 2. Participate in the development of an IEP or RtI/MTSS plan 3.

    This activity should incorporate a 30-hour internship experience for M.Ed. candidates in collaboration with the district mentor.    
    The point of the Critical Task Essay in each course is to explain your internship and how it impacted your understanding of the focus standard for the course. You must support your writing with scholarly research and what you learned in the course.
