From my readings this week, I have learned that the possibilities for action research are endless.  I really enjoyed reading about administrators making positive changes for their campuses through action research.  The wonderings about my own classroom and campus have greatly increased this week, and I can't wait to put some of them into action.

I met with my site supervisor this week, and we agreed upon my action research project.  Last week I talked about how I needed to become better at incorporating technology into my classroom.  I discussed this idea with my professor, and she advised that this might be a little too broad and that I really had already answered my own question because I understood that I had not had the proper training for the tools at my disposal.  Professional development is the key to successfully incorporating technology into the classroom.  It is still something I'm going to work on for my classroom next year.  I need to adjust the inquiry question.

For the purposes of my action research class, I am going to research the effectiveness of our campus math tutorial program for struggling students.  It is held after school twice a week and has had some negative feedback from parents.  Raising the campus math STAAR scores is a large part of our campus improvement plan.  I will be analyzing the test scores of the students before and after the tutorials, their attendance rate, teacher feedback and the curriculum being utilized.  This action research project, I think, will help prepare me for an administrator role.
