· Single
Parent-
I will investigate a
specific challenge entitled, Single Parent Families. My project will focus on the impact of a
Single Parent Family has on a child’s development in academic achievement, self
esteem, behavior in and out of school and a child’s perspective on school
related issues.
My goal is to develop
a framework that would be used to target at risk students that may be
challenged: Coming from broken homes, children who lack stable role models and
children who have been affected by an environment that is not conducive to
healthy, social, cognitive and language development.
In addition, I would
like to implement intervention strategies that would help remove the stigma of
children feeling less socially accepted because they are raised by one parent. Further, through my investigation I want to
help make a difference in the life of a child whom is raised in a single parent
home by implementing a program, activities and workshops.
