Intern: John Szolek Onsite Supervisor: Herb Basham School District: Slippery Rock Area School District Superintendent: Dr. Kathleen Nogay The focus project examined the following question, “Did participation in an after-school tutoring program by elementary special education students have a positive impact on achievement scores?” Multiple measures intersected were student learning by school processes by demographics. Student achievement data from 4-Sight and OnHand Schools were analyzed. The data for those special education students who participate in the tutoring program was compared to achievement data for special education students who do not participate in afterschool tutoring. The results suggest that the after-school tutoring program is having a positive impact on student achievement. The tutoring program will be studied further to determine if all special education students would benefit from participation. Intern: Katherine Bacher Onsite Supervisor: Connie Godin School District: Moshannon Valley School District Superintendent: Cheryl Pataky The focus project studied the following question, “Does after school tutoring improve lasting student achievement?” Multiple measures intersected were Student Learning by School Processes by Demographics. Student assessment data from Sylvan, Dibels, eMetric, PVASS, 4- Sight and PSSA were analyzed. The results suggest that students who participated in after school tutoring in elementary school were likely to show some improvement in achievement, but were still achieving below expectations and grade level. This after school program is to be reevaluated to determine if there is a more effective way to provide lasting student achievement and positively impact student success. Intern: Kim Presta Onsite Supervisor: Jon Colinear School District: Millcreek Township School District Superintendent: Dr. Frank Bova Do Belle Valley fifth grade students who receive Title I support show greater growth on the Fountas and Pinnell Reading Assessment than students who do not receive Title support?
SECONDARY PRINCIPAL INTERNS Intern: Nicole Boyce Onsite Supervisor: Doug Wilson School District: PENNCREST School District Superintendent: Richard Borchilo The focus project studied the following question, “Do students in grade 8 who feel as if they have been bullied show a lower level of achievement on their 7 th grade PSSA Reading and Math scores?” Multiple measures intersected were student perspectives by school processes by demographics. Student perspective data was collected through the use of an online survey. Student assessment data from eMetric and PVAAS was analyzed. The results suggest that bullying does not have an effect on the regular education students’ PSSA scores, but the effects of bullying may affect the learning support students’ PSSA achievement level. School processes relating to the Olweus bullying program, the results from a student survey, and the results of the 2009 PSSA’s will be further studied to develop a plan to help the learning support staff support their students and their thoughts about bullying. Intern: Andrea Root Onsite Supervisor: Kelly Cragg School District: Corry Area School District Superintendent: Dr. Brian Dougherty The focus project question studied was, “How does student performance on the 11th grade Scantron test compare with student performance on the 11th grade Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) Reading and Math?” Multiple measures intersected were Student Learning by Demographics and by School Process. Student assessment data from Scantron and Data Recognition Corporation were analyzed. The accuracy rate of the students who took the Scantron test predicted a 64% accuracy rate on how the student would perform on the PSSA. School processes related to the use of the Scantron test will be further analyzed to develop a plan on how Scantron can be better utilized to further educate students in the classroom. Intern: Jennifer Edgar Onsite Supervisor: Bill Rogers School District: Newburg Public Schools Superintendent: Paula Radich The focus project studied the following question, “What factors contribute to the attendance trends of at-risk students, and what interventions do and could impact their attendance in a positive manner?” Multiple measures intersected were Student Learning by School Processes by Demographics.
