ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Saint Leo University
This quantitative study examined the impact school mentors have on the attendance of 15 male fourth and fifth grade students. Student attendance data were collected to compare the students' absences in the 2021-2022 school year versus the 2022-2023 school year. This data was analyzed to determine whether there was a difference in the attendance rates in the year that the students did not have a mentor and the year the students had a mentor. The findings show that school mentors did not significantly impact the attendance of the male fourth and fifth grade students. However, this study highlighted the importance of utilizing school mentors as an intervention. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
