Research benefits families because it provides strategies and solutions that empower families to create change. I read a research study where the achievement gap was studied, and it was determined that the quality of teachers and attention to student needs could reduce the achievement gap. In another research, poverty was addressed by creating programs that assist low-income parents in education. These research projects made it possible for educators to improve the quality of education in schools. Although further research is needed to combat poverty and the achievement gap, the current research has provided a foundation for the future.
