This week's assignments were very interesting to me. The assigned readings were actually a breeze, which was a pleasant surprise. This week I learned how to choose an action research topic. There are nine different categories for action research topics. The categories include school culture, management, leadership, social judgement, school performance, staff development, individual teachers, individual students, and curriculum development. I was very intrigued by each of these topics which was another reasons why the readings were a breeze.
After meeting with my principal and assistant principal, I chose my research topic this week. It falls under the school performance category. I am going to compare data based on two types of assessments. I am going to research the results of K-2 students and their DRA scores and compare them to the TAKS reading scores. My goal is to discover whether a student that is reading on grade-level in Kindergarten, First, and Second pass the TAKS test. I am looking forward to conducting this research and discovering the correlation between DRA and TAKS and reporting my discoveries to my campus administration team.
