Action Research takes TIME!!!

Finally reached a decision on which project to make my action research project! I have decided to use the following:


Will creating a school tutoring program during the day designed to target at risk learner increase scores? I am already hard at work designing this program that uses student data to focus on students that have a 50 to 75% chance of meeting standard on this year’s state testing. These students will be rearranged into groups based on their needed objectives in math and reading.


As I dive into my research project, I am being faced with a large challenge....patience!!!  In order for this project to truly work I must have a concensus from the other teachers. Sadly, as much as I want this project to start yesterday, it takes time to get all these people on board and organized. I set a deadline for meeting as grade level for the end of this week.....and LIFE happened!!! A staff meeting this day....a baby shower another day....and here we are....Thursday night, and no one has met. So, I once again attempted to reestablish a timeline. My hopes are that these meetings will take place no later than next week....despite there being a holiday on Monday. After these teams meet, I can once again host a meeting and hopefully get this project moving!!

Hopefully, updates from the team meetings to follow...SOON!!
