Format based on Tool 7.1 from Examining What We Do to Improve Our Schools
(Harris, Edmonson, and
Combs, 2010)
You have great action steps and a great topic for your research project. The only suggestions that I would make would be to your timeline and to your resources. If you can locate a current school calendar try to correlate your action steps with it so that you can have a more specific start and end date. Also, I noticed that you don't have very many resources to help. I would suggest adding assistant principals or curriculum specialist to help.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I'm not sure I follow what programs you are using. Are you going to have half the students use one program and the other half try the other program?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sheenah, your timeline is a bit general and broad. Maybe you should have checkpoints at each six/nine weeks depending on your school? Just a thought.
Good luck on your plan. :-)
