Draft Proposal

Talk about having to do several different task the last couple of weeks has taken its toll. I became sick. I had to take off work one day to go to the doctor.

I had kept the poster that I created at the last day at the Track 3 colloquia in Phoenix, AZ. I went searching for the poster for this assignment. I looked in the binder that I was given for the colloquia, it was not there. I had my husband bring in the suitcases that we have to see if I left the poster in the suitcases. The poster was not in any of the suitcases. So where did I was as a safe place to keep the poster so that I could find it when I needed the information that was created on the poster.

I found my poster it was in a binder that I created to keep information for Capella courses. Now I can get started with Unit 3 assignment and discussion.

Problem Statement

When the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was enacted this holds schools accountable for the students reaching grade level skills in all areas of academics such as math. NCLB also holds schools and school districts are being held accountable for graduation and dropout rates.

Purpose Statement

By using Researched based differentiation instruction used in the classroom help students reach grade level in math. With the intervention in the middle school (fifth grade to eight grade) the student when entering high school in the ninth grade will have confidence in all of their academic skills especially their math skills.

Formulation of the Research Questions/Hypotheses

It is not known and to what extent researched based math differentiation instruction affects dropout rate for high school students. How would a Texas Assessment Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) supporting class improve math achievement of at-risk students?
