Action Research Update

I have continued to survey the staff following our Wednesday faculty meetings. Part of my action research was to follow a teacher who has taken something learned from staff development and integrated it into her classroom. I chose a teacher who has yielded positive results based on what she took away from the training. I will compare this teacher to someone on her grade level who did not bring new learning into her classroom to see if the data shows a difference. I am looking at 2 second grade teachers. Both attended a training on inquiry in the classroom this summer. One teacher has redesigned her lessons based on inquiry and one has not. Since inquiry takes a while to show results, I will look at 3rd and 4th nine-week data.
