The purpose of this part is to identify four (4) potential solutions to the problem you defined in Part 2 (High teacher turnover rates in US urban schools have a negative impact on student academic achievement). While you may have potential solutions in mind, it is important to review and consider the literature to understand what strategies have already been attempted and the respective outcome of those attempts. Thus, in this section, you will build on the review of literature you conducted in Part 2A with a focus on the specific problem you have chosen to investigate. Your goal will be to compile four (4) possible solutions [[Solution 1: New Teacher preparation programs – Solution 2: Teacher assistants or paraprofessionals to provide support – Solution 3: Better compensation – 4: Smaller class sizes.]]. For this part, you will create your literature review and a minimum of 15 research articles related to potential solutions to your selected problem. The research articles should address a minimum of four (4) distinctly different, potential solutions. Then, you will write a narrative synthesizing the findings from the studies you reviewed in this part and make connections to the problem statement. The final product for this section will be a narrative that is a minimum of 10 full length pages that should include the following components: (a) synthesis of the issues, trends, concepts and gaps for each potential solution; (b) comparison of different studies highlighting similarities, differences, and connections; and (c) a summary of the findings and outcomes for each of the potential solutions you reviewed.
