Education
Nature of Probable Research
The South Bronx section of New York is among the poorest and most diverse school districts in America. Crime and teenage pregnancy have plagued the primarily Hispanic and Afro-American Bronx community for decades. However, in recent years there has been a concerted effort to curb the dire social conditions and education system. For the purposes of our research we will focus on the efforts to improve the educational system through before school and after school programs.
The probable research will involve studying the effects of before school and after school programs on a low performing middle school in the South Bronx section of New York City. The research will examine the manner in which these programs have been implemented and the students that benefit from the programs. The investigation will also discuss the conditions present in some of the middle schools in the South Bronx and the educational and social needs that must be addressed.
The research will examine the impact that these programs have had on the classroom environment and teachers. The aim of the research will be to delve into the importance of these programs and how these programs can be used to improve the educational systems of other school systems throughout the country. The investigation will solidify the need for and the success of these programs in a challenging community.
Ability to Conduct the Research
The research will be carried out through the use of our university library and other large libraries in the region. I will also utilize various academic databases to retrieve information.
Most of the information needed to conduct the research is readily available; however there may be some difficulty finding a specific middle school to discuss. This problem exists because many of these programs are relatively new and data on their impact is not readily available.
