EDLD 5326: Action Research Project Progress

The vision of my action research plan was communicated to the staff during a faculty meeting. Many teachers did not realize that Promethean Boards and Activotes could enhance students’ learning. At the start of this project I had all kinds of dead ends and I was very stressed out! Many nights I wanted to change my topic, but my site-mentor and IA encouraged me not to because they felt the topic was great. They both stated how beneficial this research would be to all school leaders, educators, and parents. I am currently at a new school and was given the ok to look over the grades from last school year because teachers taught without any technology the first nine weeks. I am currently looking over the first and second nine weeks grades and making a data chart to show how students performed with and without technology. I like that my research has gone in this direction because I didn’t want students to change their every day studying routine because the results would not come out right. At the end of the research process, I will hand out surveys for students to give feedback on what delivery instruction they liked the best. I will communicate the results to students, parents, and the community when the research is completed. I am very excited to say that my action research plan is almost finish and I cannot wait to present my results. My site supervisor, Mrs. Bass, has been very helpful in assisting me with my project and is also very excited about the completion of my action research plan.
