Action Research Plan

I like your research action study. It is exciting that you have the ability to run two separate schedules within the same school to evaluate it. Do you anticipate any scheduling issues with this? I am very interested in following your journey.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah, it is awesome that you will be able to run two separate schedules in each grade level. I think your plan looks great. The only thing I see that I might adjust is how often you give the students their surveys. I know my kids would not answer the questions for the whole year; they would only answer the survey over what they learned for that six weeks, month, or even just that week. Good luck on your research!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing as Amber. I would also survey the teachers at least 3 times through the year. I know by the end of the year, I've forgotten what I did at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteCassondra,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your action research plan. Research into the pros and cons of varying student schedules is interesting and relevant to today's schools. Keep up the great work!
