Such as research studies, define grade level for impact, scienticifc data on grades, graduation rates,attendance rates, interviews, surveys, student demographics and cultural backgrounds and even training programs.
2. Which social sciences would you use to answer your question?
I would use the sociology and history disciplines to answer this question and educational Psychology.

o I think sociology would be better suited because it is the study of human behavior and how individuals and group behaviors impact society. Being able to study the behaviors of teachers and students will allow me to answer the questions. Conducting surveys, interviews and collecting data from schools around the country, I think History is another discipline that I think would be better suited to answer this question because it allows us to look into the past and see if there has been progress, regression or a stall in students academic experience and education experience. History does not discriminate and a wide ranging array date and information will be available showing students from different backgrounds and teachers who have done well and other that have perhaps not succe.
