Dissertation Topic
My
initial portfolio defense has helped to define my dissertation
topic. I am very interested and excited about helping minority
students to become successful in school. Their success will be
critical as educated contributing members of society. I am
using The Jones - Zimmermann Academic Mentoring Model to approach my
study. The research tools and related literature reviews as
been extremely valuable in beginning my research on this topic.
Pilot Study:
Researching the success of mentor programs in Suffolk County for
minority students Kindergarten through twelfth grades .
Research questions:
-
Do mentoring programs
exist in Suffolk County for grade school students?
-
What type of success
do minority students do on standardized tests before and after
mentoring?
-
What type of programs
are being utilized in Suffolk County to mentor students?
