who, when, where, why, how x 2, why Dr. Manya C. Bouteneff (2019), Professor at Monroe College, conducted research in 2019 on New York State’s Public schools with over 40% poverty in order to learn what practices may lead to successful outcomes for these students. For this mixed-methods study, she used New York State annual English Language Arts exam scores to identify which of schools were most successful with students in poverty, and then interviewed their principals to determine to which practices they attributed their success. She coded the interviews in order to find patterns in their responses. The top two main factors she found were: a.) the strategic use of data; and b.) building positive relationships and school culture (Bouteneff, 2019).
