This week I reviewed and refined my action research plan based on my readings and examination of plans created by other students. In addition, I gained some strategies for moving forward and sustaining improvement that will be valuable to me as I implement and evaluate my action research plan. Based on my reading, it seems that the goal of all the plans is to reach consensus regarding future action to take even though each plan differs in the number of people in the decision making group and the decision making process. In education as in other areas, positive change occurs best through the actions of a collective group rather than through isolated practices of individuals.
Based on my readings and review of others work, I have updated my action research plan. Please feel free to review my plan and make comments or suggestions.

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteYour plan was easy to read and understand. I think it is a great idea to start with one small group of teachers and train them to use technology appropriate for the lesson at hand. I am wondering if you are going to do a pre-test for each new section to really see if the kids grew in learning with the use of technology? I noticed at the end of the year you will evaluate using your tests and the TAKS test. But, is there some kind of pre-knowledge test to see if they really learned?
Great job and great idea.
