This week we read about action research in action. The chapter was very helpful and I definitely have a better understanding of "wonderings." I have not had an opportunity to meet with my site supervisor but I have decided which of my three topics I want to research. I hope she agrees. I think I selected several topics that are relevant for our campus. I've listed the topics below and welcome any feedback. Does this blog seem an little redundant to anyone since we also discuss this on our Discussion Board? Just asking....
Topics of interest:
1. How does habitual tardiness affect students' academic performance? Is our tardy policy ineffective, on target, or just ignored by teachers and students?
2. How would implementing a school-wide online discipline documentation plan reduce office referrals and ISS placements?
3. Would block scheduling in the middle school increase student academic performance?
I like your train of thought. It is important for the students to spend more time in class because often it is the ones who need it the most who are in ISS. However, the are usually there because they are disrupting the learning environment of others. So your thoughts of creating a positive behavior point system should help the students make better choices so they get to stay in class with their teacher. I am interested in seeing how this works at your school.
