Intervention Summary

Project QuEST is a program that targets the science and language learning of middle grade English Language Learners (ELLs) and native English speakers. The program consists of two components: instructional materials and professional development. The instructional materials include a teacher guide, student guide, and supplies for hands-on science activities, which are designed to ensure that both ELLs and native English speakers acquire high levels of science knowledge and concurrently develop language and literacy skills.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
