Other Additional Field Experience activities that meet this standard: (If you need additional experiences)

Analyzed the last 6 years of CST scores for the 2nd-5th grade students of Watts Learning Center. The gender subgroups I was interested in. What I found was that there is a significant drop in the boys reading scores from 4th to 5th grade. Presented CST score data to the Principal and later to the staff. Collaborated with the teachers to provide support to the students in 5th grade but especially the boys based on analyzed data. Designed a reading program for our 5th grade male students, using male college students/volunteers to come once a week to spend time reading and working on comprehension strategies.
