Addressing the Achievement Gap in Pinellas County Schools: School Improvement Plan Compliance of Listing and Implementing Interventions

<p>The focus of this research revolved around the achievement gap which exists among Blacks and non-Blacks in Pinellas County Schools. The problem that I addressed was whether or not the strategies listed in the School Improvement Plan were actually being implemented within the classrooms and whether or not those strategies were academically effective to assist Black students. The method I used to determine implementation and effectiveness was through the use of surveys distributed to parents, students, teachers, and administrators. The results of the surveys revealed which strategies were being used and were the most effective within the classrooms. In conclusion, this study proved detrimental to making strides in closing the achievement gap.</p>
