Welcome to the Increasing Academic Achievement Study being conducted by The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented (NRC/GT) at the University of Connecticut. The NRC/GT has developed five intervention strategies, and you and your chosen student will implement our Student’s Perception of School intervention. Throughout this CD-ROM, we will alternate between “he” and “she” when referring to a student to avoid gender inequity.
By now you, your student, and his or her parents should have completed the School Attitude Assessment Survey (SAAS). You and your student’s parents should also have completed the Student Behavior Checklist. We are now ready to begin increasing your student’s attitude about academic achievement. This CD-ROM contains background information and specific strategies that you will be using.
