Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Butler County Success Program by examining the academic achievement of individual students and the amount of community school liaison hours spent assisting families involved in the program for the 2008-2009 school year. This quantitative study utilized measures of liaison contact hours and children’s academic achievement (e.g., Mini Battery of Achievement tests and quarterly reading and math grades), from 531 students in grades kindergarten through sixth in Butler County, Ohio. Multivariate analyses of covariance and univariate analyses of covariance tests revealed that higher liaison contact hours do effect academic achievement, and the type of contact, face-to-face, non-face-to-face, or total, impacted which academic achievement measure was found to be significant. These results and the positive influence of community school liaisons encourage further research and the development of similar programs.
