We are only using two teachers this year. A second and third grade teacher. The second grade teacher teaches the Language Arts, Reading and Social Studies component for the second and third graders. The third grade teacher teaches the math and science for both second and third grade students. For the most part, the survey results were mostly positive for both teachers. The teachers enjoyed the fact that these students belonged to the both of them. Whenever intervention strategies had to be completed or implemented, they felt they had a partner to collaborate with about every aspect of that student. When a serious issue or concern had to be presented or confronted to a parent, they would do it together. By doing this they felt they had an even bigger voice and parents were always acceptable of their concerns when two teachers approached them about the same issue and both provided documentations of concerns whether it was academic or behavior.
Some of the concerns they voiced were in regards to grading procedures. In our district, the minimum grades allowed are six per subject. Of course, they recommend more to have a broader representation of that child, but having six grades is acceptable. The teacher that teaches math and science is required to have a minimum of 12 grades. The teacher that teaches three subjects is required to have 24 grades per students. You’d think it should 18 grades since it’s three subjects. The component of Language Arts has four subgroups, composition, grammar, spelling and handwriting. Each of these requires at least three grades. One way I thought of fixing this problem or making it a little even is to require the math and science teacher to have at least 12 grades per each subject so that this situation can seem fair and balanced.
For the most part, the teachers love this teaching arrangement. Next year on my campus, all of the second and third grade teachers will be participating in this teaching arrangement. As far as benchmarks and STAAR test results, I am still gathering data on that. They won’t take STAAR until later in April so we will have to wait and see how much more successful the students were that participated in this model.

am proposing that we have more topics that provide more insight on reading
and the different aspects of reading.
We will teach parent the different terminology related to
reading. Provide informational list or
brochures and include different resources on that topic as well. This will support student achievement by
equipping parents with knowledge and skills that they can reinforce with
their children and thus supporting student achievement on our campus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

directly related to improving reading and comprehension skills. We have
monthly parent meetings where parents can come learn about different
school-related topics. I propose that in each meeting we teach and discuss
one reading/comprehension strategy and tell parents the reason as to why
there is a big focus on reading. At each monthly meeting we can discuss one
skill and provide examples as to what it looks like across grade-levels. Grade level chairs and or Reading
Specialist teachers can provide materials and resources that parents can take
home and begin to use and support their child/children at home. We will also reiterate the fact that we are
doing the same thing in the classroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

resources that are required for these proposed activities have already been
established since I plan on strengthening an existing program. The resources needed to effectively
implement are input from teachers from all grade levels. Help from reading
specialists in drafting good, solid, and researched based reading improvement
strategies for all the grade levels and all types of readers. Parents will also be needed to provide
input for the reading plan/draft.
Also, parents will need to implement these skills at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have in place already. About a month
to three weeks before the actual date, a letter is sent home explaining the
next topic for discussion. The parent
then reserves their spot. This helps
ensure that our campus has enough materials at the meeting and also to be
sure we have enough coffee and pastries for all attending. For the new topic of reading skills and
strategies, I would send out a message to parents (we have instant messenger
that sends a prerecorded message to their phone), to be on the lookout for
attending this meeting so that they can provide input in devising a
comprehensive reading plan to help ensure reading improvement and success for
all grade levels on our campus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> I
truly have enjoyed this course and have learned so much in these past five
weeks. At first I thought, that online
college would be difficult, but I find that I have learned a greater deal
than I did when I took a masters course in a building. Not to say that that was not great, I just
find this online class more interactive. Using the blogs and discussion
boards, email and even face book, I feel that I have connected and
communicated with a large amount of students and professors. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I
enjoyed all the lectures, but the ones that stood out were the ones from Week
two. Principal Johnny Briseno from
Angleton ISD really made an impression on me and served as a great model
implementing an action research situation.
He seemed totally available and approachable for all his teachers. Mr. Briseno mentioned to use the internet to
help aid in solutions for problems that may arise on your campus. The solution may not be an exact fit, but
at least will guide you in knowing what worked and what did not work for some
campuses. Basically he was talking
about the transfer-ability of previous research inquiry without actually using
those words. I took his advice and did
a Google search on my action research inquiry. I found some interesting dissertations related
and unrelated to my topic that I plan to use in my inquiry research.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
web conferences were a huge help as well.
Questions were answered promptly and the sessions felt very intimate
and like we all knew each other as if we were in the same physical classroom. Being able to discuss what we were doing
made the assignment more clear.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">What
I have learned from action research is that it is a cyclical method and that even
though you may get to a stopping point, your research doesn’t end. One may choose to research another aspect
that has come up and/or begin researching another pondering. In learning
about action research, I realized that my principal has done this on several
occasions and is still doing this. I learned that the most important thing an
administrator can do is to build an inquiry stance. Not so much to complete one or two action
research inquiries, but to make inquiry a part of administration.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
discussion boards and blogs provided great insight as to what others were
doing and the unique and universal situations going on at their campuses. It also provided opportunities to have colleagues
comment and question our positions.
This helped make our stances or beliefs stronger and clearer. It was fascinating to see how suggestions
helped and refined our action research plans to be the best that they can be.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I
felt that the assignments followed a sequential order and built on what was
previously learned. The textbooks for
this course were very easy to follow and read. I plan on keeping these textbooks and putting
them in my professional library. I am
excited about continuing my action research plan full force and this course
has provided me the tools to do just that.

He seemed really hands on and involved in his school. I liked how the teacher felt she could reach out to him and ask for his help. I remember when I started teaching 14 years ago, I don't remember seeing the principal as much. It seemed like if we had meetings or staff development, they were planned by someone else. I remember a lot of teachers leaders appointed and/or volunteered to facilitate these meetings. When I moved to another district two years later, the principal there was more hands on and even did training for teachers on staff development days. I'm glad to say I've seen more hands on principals than not in my teaching career. I have seen it really step up like the past 5 years.<br />
My principal is very hands on and approachable. I'm so glad to be working with someone that truly cares abut what happens on our campus. One example deals with my research topic. She asked two teachers if they would pilot a departmentalized model on our campus. In another neighboring school, all the teachers had to do this model and were told the April before school started. My principal did not want to do that to everyone so she is just trying out with a few teachers this year. This is the model, two teachers one third and one second grade would be partners. One teacher would teach Language Arts and Social Studies for both second and third grades. The other one would teach math and science for both grade levels. So far, the two teachers piloting this program on my campus, love it. Some negative comments on the other campus is some teachers didn't even get a grade level they had been doing. For example, I know a second grade teacher that was assigned third and fourth grade science and math. My research question is, do these students perform better? There are a few campuses in my district that have always done this. Another sub question could be, how well to the teachers work together since they are sharing students. I am anxious to find out information and I pretty excited because more than likely we will implement this across the board on my campus next year!<br />

Since there is usually one principal on campus, it is sometimes difficult to get feedback from other administrators right away. Blogs can be a quick and easy method of connecting with one another. <br />
Leaders can also post various problems and ask for feedback on how to deal with a certain situation. Also, they can use previous posts from themselves or others to recall what solutions worked and which ones were a waste of time. Blogs can be another perspective for dealing with a situation. Sometimes leaders can forget to think out of the box and try something completely unheard of to solve a problem, but it may have been successful with somebody else. <br />

I can remember being in elementary school and having to do an independent research project. Grant it was not in my regular classes, but in my Gifted and Talented Class. Yes, it was pull out back then. Nowadays, it is in the regular classes more and more. Finding information is now at our fingertips with the internet, digital libraries and publications. Basically we would research a topic, give credit to the people that we read from and then presented to the whole class.<br />
This week I have learned a great deal about action research. Action research is a systematic approach of gaining more information about a wondering or question you might have. It is a method to help solve problems. This differs from the traditional research method in that part of action research happens after all the research has been done. You put into, "action" what you have learned so far and then evaluate to see if it's working. If it's not working, you can come back to the drawing board and try something else. Action research involves the people affected in the process and is more proactive instead of reactive. It does not involve a third party that doesn't have a clue about the problem or is not directly involved with the situation.<br />
I will use this approach to help solve any issues I may have in my classroom and as an administrator. Reflective practices such as writing in a journal will help me to stay focused on the situation. It can serve as a guide to see what the next steps are and also to evaluate and assess the situation after implementation. Having an action research plan for a situation shows that you are willing to do something and follow through and adjust or change as needed.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05958600696206647961noreply@blogger.com2
