Very detailed plan! Seems like from your timeline you will be done soon. That is great. The growth of the student reading results will be interesting to see. Keep me posted. Good Job on your plan :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca, I'm not sure if the timeline is correct. I may need to continue the observations next school year as well.
DeleteYour plan looks detailed and complete. I am not a reading teacher, but know that it is the foundation for all learning. Our LA teachers utilize running records, but I'm not sure how it is used as an intervention rather than just a data collection tool. I look forward to seeing your continued work and outcomes on your AR plan.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracey, I agree, reading is the foundation for all other learning. I strongly believe in a strong foundation in reading in order to be successful in all subject areas.
DeleteThis is a good research plan Sandy. The layout is nice and very detailed. Reading is a very important subject and it is very important that the students grasp it while they're young. I look forward to following your research.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. I agree that Reading is the core to being successful in all other subject areas.
DeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteExcellent topic! It is really awesome that more educators are focusing on reading. It is so important for students because it is vital, and they will use those skills for the rest of their lives. It looks like you put some thought into the development of your plan, and the steps seem to be covered well. I will be interested to follow your research.
Thank you Scott, I agree that Reading is the most vital area and is part of becoming a lifelong learner.
ReplyDeleteSandy I was a little confused at first because when you mention college readiness in the beginning of your topic I was thnking of high school students and not elementary.Is your focus on an overall academic success or at the elementary level entering middle school, high school. Another question I had was are you wanting to make sure that technology is incorporated into the learning of each class or with a focus of making sure all teachers document and record their use of technology in the classroom.I think you have to have a focus at the lower level early for our students to prepare for success at the collegiate level and not wait to late.
