While policymakers can insist that every child attends school, they cannot legislate the positive attitude, motivation and behaviors that are integral to students learning (National Research Council2; Institute of Medicine3, 2004). This dissertation explores a possible solution. It observes the implementation of a school-based program that has shown promising results in increasing middle schoolers student engagement, the adolescents desire and dedication to learning. Specifically, it closely follows the Valued Youth Program4, a cross-age tutoring program, from its conception through adoption in Santa Monica-Malibu School District5, which is facing marked diversity and achievement differentials across ethnic groups. It conducts a scientific evaluation of the programs effectiveness to influence intermediate student engagement outcomes, including attendance, school attitudes, disciplinary issues, and achievement (e.g., grades, standardized test scores) over the course of one year. Each step of the implementation is examined with a critical eye to how the process and the actors, both internal and external to the school system, facilitate or impede the programs final form and its ability to affect student engagement. This analysis concludes with lessons learned that provide guidance for educators and community members to implement and sustain student engagement programs. background method conclusion title author & affiliation vNotes to cite the source of statements quoted or closely paraphrased in the text,to make cross-references, to make additional comments about some point of the text, or to acknowledge someone else for an idea or argument.vAcknowledgements to thank and list the people who supported or contributed to the researchTask 2 Notes and Acknowledgements Notes vReference notes indicate the work/literature cited.
