Week 3 - Action Research Plan

Action Research Plan

Goal: My goal is to increase the students’ accountability for their behavior and to decrease office referrals and time spent in ISS placements.

Outcome: As students spend more time in the classroom, their learning and retention will increase which result in their improved performance.

Inquiry Question: How will implementing a school-wide positive behavior and on-line documentation program affect the number of office referrals and students assigned to ISS?
