Holy Toledo! This is awesome! This looks like you have everything thought out and well planned. I'd love to see the results of your research! Sorry, but I have no suggestions other than for "Needed Resources", you could include personnel you will need to contact/coordinate in order to gather all data that you need.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheri, I will use that for my week 4 revisions.
ReplyDeleteAnnabell,
ReplyDeletePlease send me directions to post my plan on my blog like you did! Mine is 4 pages long and I used the Snippet tool...and it doesn't look good. Thanks!
Annabell, I like your use of Survey Monkey. Everything looks good. Your process is broken down into manageable chunks. Is there some way to evaluate and tweak, if necessary, midway between October and April? Also, the term is morale, with an e at the end, to describe feelings. Moral is the lesson learned, as in a story.
ReplyDeleteAnnabell, I can tell that much thought went into the planning of this action research. This topic is one that I find to be of great interest. It is sometimes hard for teachers to remain motivated when it seems as if everything is crumbling around you. I like that you referenced that there are articles on ways to boost motivation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, I caught it when I was reading it before I submitted the assignment. I thought I had made the changes here, but I guess I did not.
ReplyDeleteHi Annabell,
ReplyDeleteI'm like Holly, could you please send me directions for putting my action reasearch on the blog page? Your help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance
Martini, what I did was copied my word document into a blank power point slide. When I did this the table pasted with a blue box around it. I left as is, just adjusted the font size because it shrunk. Then I clicked and copied the entire box. I opened a new post window and copied it into the post box and the entire document came out large. Hope this helps. I do not know your email, so I could not email it to you.
