2009 Middle School Science – Oliver W. Winch MS
This case study is part of an investigation of middle school science conducted in the 2008-2009 school year.
This case study was conducted in spring 2009 as one of a series of studies conducted by Just for the Kids~New York since 2005. For the study of middle school science, research teams investigated seven consistently higher-performing and three average-performing schools based on student performance on the New York State Intermediate-Level Science Examination in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Researchers used site-based interviews of teachers and administrators, as well as classroom observations and analyses of supportive documentations, to determine differences in practices between higher- and average-performing schools in the sample.
