Passion: Youth
Organization: Heartland Headstart
Project Title: “Project Heartland Headstart”
Project Summary: Our goal is to analyze the data for all 4 year old students at Heartland Headstart. We hope to complete a significant amount of analysis…we not only have to locate and analyze the relevant data, but we must also determine how to best organize the data. Therefore, our primary goal is to set up a template to be used by future volunteers. Future volunteers will be able to build upon our work in order to continue assisting Heartland Head Start. Muehlbaur and Myers tracked the relevant data and proceded to make a presentation that demonstrates the proficiency levels of the children. While doing so, they also discovered that there was a discrepancy in proficiency levels between students of different ethnic backgrounds. The students believe that efforts should be made to focus on getting the different ethnic groups to be on par with the rest.
