and began to interact with their peers as well, where before they had
each been rather socially isolated.
Conclusions
The data suggests that the 8th grade students showed the most
marked change in grades during quarter 2, while the 7th graders
changed most for quarter 1., and neither group could maintain their
grades after a full quarter without the group. I do plan to follow up at
the end of quarter 4 to see if there are any lingering influences. These
results suggest that it might be more helpful to taper off of sessions
instead of just ending at the quarter. In the future, I plan to extend the
group into the third quarter and meet every two weeks instead of
weekly, then terminate the group for the final quarter.
Limitations
Though I delivered the same curriculum to both groups, the
dynamics of the groups were different, so I had t o modify the way in
which I delivered the material. Another limitation is that many of my
students ended up receiving additional support through other
resources in the school (I ended up seeing all 3 8th graders individually
for other issues). One student was identified as needing Tier 3
services, several students began attending an afterschool homework
help, and several others became more involved in extracurricular
activities (drama club, sports,etc.). Though I think that this group did
contribute to any changes in their grades and academic engagement, I
acknowledge that it is not the only factor.
