Here is my original action research plan. I feel that this plan suites my interests, and it will also allow me to collect data that are campus can use to improve. Please give any recommendations to the plan is you see something wrong, or missing.


Action Planning Template
Goal: Use data to determine the effectiveness of tutorials/remediation as tool to increase academic performance.
Action Steps(s):
Person(s) Responsible:
Timeline: Start/End
Needed Resources
Evaluation

1. Acquire a roster of students who are in MESS tutorials, and a roster for students in EOC remediation courses. These students will be a combination of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and seniors.

I will need to acquire the master roster of students that are required to attend MESS tutorials, and I will also need class rosters of any EOC remediation courses.
Once I acquire rosters for the remediation courses and tutorials, I will make a master list of these students on an excel spreadsheet, and use this spreadsheet to track student performance throughout the year.


2. Track student performance at the end of each 6 weeks grading period, and on EOC tests as the scores become available throughout the year.

September 13th/June 6th
Performance data from EOC tests, and 6 weeks grades from classes in which the student must attend MESS tutorials.
Student data will be collected throughout the year. Data from EOC exams and 6 weeks grades will be reported on to the master spreadsheet as the year progresses.


3. Use data collected during research assignment to analyze the effectiveness of MESS tutorials/Remediation on increasing student performance on EOC tests, and regular classroom performance.





Clayton Floyd
October 4th/June 5th
Performance data from EOC tests, and 6 week grades from classes in which the student must attend MESS tutorials.
The data will be used to determine if MESS tutorials/Remediation are effective in increasing student performance on EOC tests and regular classroom performance.

  1. I'm not sure that you have enough action steps to create enough of variety in your data to support your findings. I would try and create at least three more actions steps. Also, I would identify the acronym MESS tutorial. Good start!

  2. I have always wondered about the effectiveness of tutorial seem before or afterschool...This seems to be a research project that will be beneficial to all schools. I do agree with Carson, maybe add a few more steps so that you can fully investigate this topic. Good luck! Check out my blog if you will...adderry.blogspot.com
