The three possibilities for my action
research had to do with improving our current writing STAAR results, our new
science/reading lab or why are ELL students qualifying for so long for
services.
My site supervisor and I discussed my action
research possibilities over email this past couple of weeks. We agreed that my background in ESL and math
made the last possibility the better fit.
She even made the comment that if I could get to the bottom of the
problem with ELL students needing services for so long, I would have a great
career ahead of me as an administrator.
This is definitely a focus for our district right now so it is really
relevant.
My action research project will be determining why ELL students that
start in our district in pre-k or even kindergarten still require ESL services
going into high school.
What a great plan. I like your 3rd question best. I tend to look long term in the decisions I make for my students. I'm not thinking to get thorough the day. I want to impact them for a life time. It would be great to be able to get them through an ESL program more effectively.
