3/4/08--Demographics of the Class

Blue on the bar graphs represent students who have access to a specific technology and red do not.







These first three graphs show the level of technology available to my students and could serve as an indicator of socioeconomic status too.

This graph clearly shows the diversity in my class when it comes to reading ability. These numbers are based on lexile score which shows a high and low range. I took student numbers and compared it to the standard textbook. You can see that the students' reading levels are all over the board. This is the foundation of the question, how does student awareness of their differences affect attitude and academics? The actual research, however, focuses on learning style and multiple intelligences. Students will receive instruction about these concepts this Friday, as well as complete inventories to discover their learning style and multiple intelligence strengths. Those numbers will be posted shortly.
