My Project

Over the course of the academic year, the student will enhance reading comprehension skills by independently reading and summarizing grade-level text, identifying main ideas, supporting details, and making inferences, with a minimum accuracy.These goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, which makes them effective tools for educators to create targeted learning objectives for their students.

According to data, a growing body of research suggests that increased funding improves low-income students’ educational outcome

Better educational opportunities for students in grades K–12 mean more options for higher education, which can benefit students for the rest of their lives.

Many low-income students struggle with chaotic home lives, food insecurity, late developmental growth, restricted access to educational resources like computers, and other factors that hamper their opportunities.

Better funding and support for low-income communities can help counter the effects of poverty, broadening students’ futures. Well-funded schools can offer nutrition and community support programs, as well as a wider range of advanced classes. These options ensure students’ basic needs are met and also allow them the chance to excel academically.

Although funding is an important factor for educational success, it is not the only thing that matters. Research suggests that sending more finances to low-income school systems doesn’t always lead to improved educational outcomes — results vary depending on how the finances are used, the school’s economic status and many other factors.
