Describe the controversial results of the Coleman study, and how they are partly challenged by the results of “Project STAR” research on class size. Explain what a “longitudinal study” is as part of your answer
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The Coleman study seemed to suggest that differences between schools and how many resources are allocated to schools have little effect on student achievement.
2. The Project STAR study was a longitudinal study investigating the effects of class size on both short-term and long-term educational outcomes for students.
3. A longitudinal study is a method in which researchers gather data from the same subjects repeatedly over time to study long-term effects.
4. Project STAR found that students who had smaller class sizes before the fourth grade had higher performance not only in the short term, but also for many years after, with lasting effects for their educational careers. These results were most dramatic for marginalized students, such as those from lower-class households and non-White students.
5. These results contradict the results of the Coleman study by demonstrating that at least some school differences are important.

In a year when leaders are anxious about the president's agenda, parade organizers in New York and San Francisco were more focused on protest. Activists have been galled by the Trump administration's rollback of federal guidance advising school districts to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. The Republican president also broke from Democratic predecessor Barack Obama's practice of issuing a proclamation in honor of Pride Month.Click on the above link to access the Interactive eBook. Once
