The following is the beginning of my project.

1. Name of Organization: Corinth School District - South Corinth Elementary 2. Summary: The problem that Corinth School District faces is not only the lack of technology in the classrooms, but also a deficit in the Language Arts test scores on the MCT2. I propose that, with the utilization of iPods in South Corinth Elementary, not only will we be implementing more technology into our classrooms, we will also have a chance to increase those test scores in Language Arts. 3. Background & History: South Corinth Elementary was formerly Easom High, containing all grades 1-12. Before 1969, Easom High was an all African American school. However, in 1969, schools were integrated and Easom High became South Corinth Elementary school, containing grades 4-6. Throughout the years, as the Corinth School District's attendance grew, South Corinth Elementary became a school that housed only fifth and sixth grades. This is the last year that South Corinth Elementary school will be open; fifth and sixth grades are going to be joined with the seventh and eighth grade students at the Corinth Junior High.

The school's mission is to provide quality educational opportunities to all students.

South Corinth Elementary's principal is Dave Jennings and the assistant principal is Albertine Warren, also a fifth grade teacher. For more information about South Corinth Elementary, please visit [|www.corinth.k12.ms.us]

Background and History 2 / Cause Analysis:  Module 3 : Intervention Strategies: 

Proposed Intervention Strategy: I am going forth with the medium cost strategy; the price being a little under $25,000. I believe that utilizing 80 iPods in the middle school will be a good starting place. They will benefit the students and teachers alike. Twenty-five thousand dollars is a reasonable amount and as time passes and the results of using the iPods is visible, the district will be more receptive to buying more.
