From the Study's Author:
We are asking you to choose whether or not to allow your child to volunteer for a research study about children’s self-concept, math attitudes, and achievement in an ability-grouped math class. We are asking you because your child is participating in a school setting.
Various literature has examined students’ beliefs about themselves as students, attitudes towards math, and math achievement. However, few studies have examined these simultaneously. Therefore, we are aiming to explore the relationship between a child’s beliefs about themselves as students, attitudes towards math, and math achievement through a self- report survey.
By doing this study, we hope to see how children’s self-concept, attitudes towards math, and math achievement differ among students grouped in different math classes. Your child’s participation in this research will last around 10 minutes at one time during the school day. Additionally, your child’s two most recent math MAP scores will be collected. All identifying information will be erased after students’ scores are assigned to their survey responses.
If you DO NOT wish for your child to participate in this research, please follow this link:

Last week we brought you nonfiction books, and this week we are offering fiction stories that center young African American perspectives, as they experience the Civil Rights Movement. The 1950s and 1960s were a time of great change in the United States. Encourage your child to honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy and add some history to their reading routine with books about teens and the fight for civil rights.
