attendance increases by 20% when they transfer from the main high school to our alternative program. The implementation of a breakfast incentive program has been put into place, and at the end of the quarter, the data will be analyzed to see if it helped improve attendance. Demographics and day of the week attendance averages will be analyzed at the end of the quarter to look for patterns, and a plan to continue increasing ADM will be created based off of the findings. Intern: Louis Dalessandro Onsite Supervisor: Raymond Omer School District: Sharon City School District Superintendent: John J. Sarandrea Students with IEPs will be identified. Any IEP subgroups will be identified for the 2007-2008, 2008-2009, and 2009-2010 school years. Data collected from 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 will assist in predicting the PSSA outcomes for the 2009-2010 school year. A predicted IEP subgroup for 2009-2010 school year, indicates that the group will fall short of making AYP. Intern: Daniel Svirbly Onsite Supervisor: Michael Krol School District: Laurel School District Superintendent: Dr. Sandra Hennon This paper outlines the research of how properly developed and delivered remediation programs effect 11 th grade PSSA mathematics scores. The PSSA mathematics scores of five high schools with similar student populations and demographics were collected from the PDE website over the last four years. Each school was also surveyed to collect data describing their remediation program in terms of who teaches it, how long it lasts, and the materials utilized. A target school was selected to track the progress of fifteen juniors as they complete three benchmark assessments periodically through the year, as well as a remediation course. The data was collected, analyzed, and compared and the findings and implications will be discussed in the following pages. Intern: Kenneth Veihdeffer Onsite Supervisor: Kevin Wallace School District: Clearfield Area School District Superintendent: Dr. Richard Makin The focus project studied the following question: “Did 10th grade (2009-10) students, identified in the subgroups "below proficient" and "proficient" show greater improvement on 4Sight tests after remediation, and exposure to Best Teaching Practices, than they did during the 2008-09
school year when they were in 9th grade?” Multiple measures intersected were Student Learning with School Processes. Student assessment data from 4Sight were analyzed. The results suggest that 10th grade students who are exposed to newly implemented remediation methods and Best Teaching Practices demonstrate a greater gain on 4Sight tests than they did during the 2008-09 school year when they were in 9th grade. Intern: Sandralee Kozlowski Onsite Supervisor: Stephanie Keebler School District: Titusville Area School District Superintendent: Karen Jez The focus project studied and compared economically disadvantaged (ED) students in 9 th thru 12 th grades academically to non-economically disadvantaged (Non-ED) students and how those ED students who did well on the PSSA assessment behave or achieve in the classroom?. The Pennsylvania State System assessment (PSSA) and eMetric data were used. Of all students who are proficient/advanced on the PSSA, how do they perform/behave in the classroom? (Intersections: Student Learning with School Processes and Demographics). Hypotheses given suggest that ED students perform and participate lower than non-ED students. School processes will be further studied to develop a plan to address the achievement gap and increase student engagement. Intern: Dayna Fusco Onsite Supervisor: Michael Cook School District: Sheffield – Sheffield Lake School District Superintendent: Dr. Will Folger The focus project studied the following question, “Are all of the Math Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) grade level power indicators being targeted by teachers and when are they being introduced through mastery?” Multiple measures intersected were student learning by school processes and perceptions. Curriculum data from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) state level standards, teacher questionnaire/survey, professional learning community (discussions via Ning web site) and departmental curriculum maps. The results suggest that teachers are not introducing the correct grade level math standards and following through with appropriate mastery assessments. Results from teacher questionnaire/survey, discussion groups and state wide standards will be further studied to develop a plan for the creation of new departmental curriculum maps.
