Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

Data were collected through student comprehension scores, student surveys, and teacher observation sheets. Research took place within two 4^th grade classrooms in a small school in central Minnesota. The results of this study indicated that allowing choice has positive effects on student learning.

Access To Quality Education For The Underprivileged, Jayant Kumar '23, Ayati Lala '23, Jacqueline Zhang '23, Julius Wardlow '23

Student Leadership Exchange (SLX)

Education is something that everyone deserves; however, throughout the USA, there are extreme inequalities in the education system. In Illinois specifically, districts in affluent neighborhoods, such as districts 204 and 203, have graduation rates more than 10% above the state average, along with more opportunities like clubs, extracurriculars, sports, and easier access to tutoring. Conversely, districts such as 189 and 131, which are in less affluent areas, see graduation rates 10% below the state average, as well as fewer opportunities for their students as stated in the Illinois State Report Cards. As a result, we hereby propose a solution that …

Equitect: Solving The Lack Of Internet And Computer Access During Online Learning, Lily Song '23, Dhruti Patel '23, Conor Craddock '23, Justin Evans '23

Second, a lack of internet access — certain locations, specifically rural entities, do not have reliable internet access available, and even if they do, …

Student Leadership Exchange (SLX)

Year after year, the large majority of students and 90% of parents in the United States have agreed that sufficient early career education needs to be presented in all schools.
