Action Research Project - Ready, Set, Stall
Once at-risk students decide they want to attend a post-secondary learning institution, what possible barriers do they encounter that may result in a change of plans leading to non-attendance?
By investigating this phenomenon school districts can redirect funding and resources to help at-risk students overcome the barriers they encounter so they can pursue post-secondary education after high school. The goal being to ensure there’s an established program to assist possible post-secondary students to attend the learning institution of their choice, and to review the curriculum effectiveness of the school districts to make sure the students are being adequately prepared for adult education opportunities.
A program such as this might entail assisting students to locate colleges or learning institutions that best fit their academic needs, workshops on how to fill out college applications and write entrance essays, or even field trips to universities so students can get a feel for the setting and size of the school. In addition, as the American economy continues to evolve and demand a higher educated work force, it’s imperative American youth understand the requirement to continue their education past high school.
In this document you'll find the steps I took to research this problem and the findings based on my data.
