Lucille, This is such a valuable research topic. Not only does it impact student achievement, but more important, I can see that this could impact a young girl's life. Sheryl
ReplyDeleteLucille, You have such a well thought out plan, below are just a couple of minor suggestions. Since this is such a serious problem in middle school, perhaps an even earlier intervention (in elementary) could be beneficial. Also, since scheduling meetings can be quite challenging, how about using a wiki to replace your group meetings? Then mentors can join in the discussion at their convenience while viewing the responses of others. This could help with the time commitment and may help with your recruiting! Good luck! I'll be looking forward to the results. Sheryl
ReplyDeleteLucille,
ReplyDeleteI also think that looking at the elementary schools from your feeder pattern should be convenient, don't know if now is the best time to do it, but at least keep in mind for the near future.
