Moon, Tonya R.; Callahan, Carolyn M.
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v24 n4 p305-21 Sum 2001
A study investigated the efficacy of specific interventions (mentoring, parental involvement, and multicultural curricula) on academic achievement of 273 elementary students from low-socioeconomic environments. The interventions had no statistically significant effect on student achievement in any grade. However, by the end of the program, students were on grade level. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
