For last week's assignment we were to meet with our site supervisor to edit and approve the Action Research Plans. For me, it was spring break, and my principal and I met through email. It was interesting enough, but more of a "good job" than any critique. Today we just met again to see what we could do to edit the plan again--it was almost an hour of tearing apart the plan and refocusing it.
Now... we've changed it a lot. The over-arching goal is now: Determine how seperating out non-academic from academic grades influence student's perception of their learning.
That's a big change from simply "Determine how non-academic factors impact student acheivement."
I love how Dr. Nye really takes the time to see how this will be a viable and researchable plan, and not just another "x" to cross off on my graduation plan. It's refreshing to do something for a class that is not only practical in my classroom, but has the ability to influence our campus as a whole.
It was a great meeting, and I'm excited to see how the ball rolls forward from here!
