Y Class sessions were too short to maximize continuity of learning. Y Learning activities did not maximally address different student learning styles. Y Grading rubric was too general.

Special Education Transition--Robin Bills, West Valley High School What’s in Your Future? STUDENT DATA Both male and female students scored higher on the post-test than the pretest. However, female students demonstrated more improvement than male students; this suggests that the girls benefited more from Internet research.
