I like the thoroughness of your inquiry. The parent component is the most important part. I can appreciate that you will be communicating with the parents and allowing them to be an intricate part of your plan. I also like the fact that you are utilizing district technology specialist and literature to back up the steps of your inquiry. The timeline appears to be very appropriate. I would like to see a little more information presented on how students will be motivated to track their own progress. It may be necessary to conference with a student/parent more than one time per week.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to have students track their acheivements, which will help them take ownership of their own progress. How do you plan on having them track their progress? You could implement a checklist or graph with nine-weeks objectives on it.
ReplyDeleteI know your action research plan is your blueprint and it will be revised once or twice. However, it looks awesome. I am very interested in reading your findings. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have put together a rough draft of a data sheet that lists all 5th grade science TEKS as well as tested 3rd and 4th grade TEKS. The TEKS are then organized by reporting category. Each TEK is further divided into fields with dates that are used to provide a frame of reference for improvement over time. The data sheet includes their CBA scores as well. A coworker of mine sent me a student tracking data sheet that I will look at and pull from it if needed. I have not come up with a method of motivating the students to track their data.
ReplyDeleteDo you have access to Google documents at school? Students could follow their progress on a spread sheet. At certain improvements you could have some sort of built in rewards, stickers work great for small rewards, homework passes too. This looks like a great project and it is so rewarding to see the intervention groups working.
