Announcing the Final Examination of Jennifer Bellinger for the degree of Doctor of Education

The purpose of this study was to examine mathematical strategies including educational support and interventions for high school students in an urban school setting. The study analyzed Post Hoc Algebra End of Course Assessment scores to measure student performance on the Algebra EOC.

 

The schools for this study were selected based on their use of interventionists to support Algebra 1 students. The study collected data from school administrators focusing on the time spent by interventionists with students.

 

Based on the results from this study, interventions do impact student performance. The findings suggest that interventions should be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to enhance student outcomes. While interventions can be effective, it is important to combine them with other evidence-based practices for optimal results. This ensures that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
