Action Research Plan

Please see my attached action research plan.


SIP or PIP (SCHOOL or PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT) PLAN OF ACTION – May be used in your Action Research Planning, Week 3 Assignment, Part 2 and 3

Using the information and skills developed in EDLD 5311, including your intern plan, and the knowledge and skills developed in EDLD 5301 Action Research, you will be developing a comprehensive school or professional improvement action plan that you will be able to design and implement in collaboration with your site supervisor(s) and any other support staff and stakeholders. Your task is to propose a narrative and an action plan, which would begin the ascension to exemplary status, or improve specific targeted areas if your campus is already exemplary.
You should base your approach on your leadership learning’s, the National and Texas Standards and Competencies, your own leadership knowledge, experience and skills developed through your course self-assessments, campus supervised and embedded course leadership experiences. You are to use as much data as needed for your SIP or PIP, including actual test scores, needs assessment contributing to the Campus Improvement Plan and information from your campus and/or district (AEIS or PBMAS/AYP data, etc.). The Dana and Harris et al. texts provide a variety of tools for gathering data for your PIP/SIP.
Your proposal should be agreed to in collaboration with your campus supervisor(s), members of specific committees (e.g., SBDM), and any others that are stakeholders in helping you to implement, monitor and assess your SIP or PIP.
In developing your Action Research Plan*, we ask that you use Tool 7.1 from the Harris et al. text, and also posted in the Resource section of this course, or use the following action plan template for this activity:

SCHOOL VISION:
Develop improved staff development in technology integration to increase technology usage in teacher lessons.

GOAL:

OUTCOMES ACTIVITIES RESOURCES/ RESEARCH TOOLS NEEDED RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS ACTIVITIES TIME LINE Benchmarks/
ASSESSMENT Revisions to SIP/PIP based on monitoring and assessments
Determine what technology resources are available to LEHS teachers.
Perform an inventory of all technology resources on the High School campus.
Inventory list. Matt Fry will work with Jason Brown and Sarah Anderson to complete the inventory. Fall 2011 Complete inventory
Determine how often teachers use technology on their lessons.
Perform survey of high school teachers related to technology usage. Online survey to be completed by teachers. Matt Fry Fall 2011 At least 90% of High School teachers complete survey.
Determine what technology staff development, if any, teachers received on the technology available to them.
Perform survey of high school teachers related to technology staff development. Online survey to be completed by teachers. Matt Fry Fall 2011 At least 90% of High School teachers complete survey.
Develop staff development specifically related to integrating technology into daily lessons.
Work with staff in department meetings to determine ways to integrate technology and provide adequate training to the teachers to use it. Lesson plans and knowledge of technology available. Matt Fry, Jason Brown January 2012 Have at least 3 lessons per grading period in each department integrating technology.
Perform post-program surveys to see if the statistics in the previous surveys have changed.
Perform survey of high school teachers related to technology staff development. Online survey to be completed by teachers. Matt Fry Spring 2012 At least 90% of High School teachers complete survey.





*Remember, the Action Research Plan is the framework or blueprint for your Action Research Project that may take several courses, and months, to complete. One of the major goals of EDLD 5301 is to provide this blueprint to assist you in implementing, monitoring and assessing your Action Research Project process and product.

Report and Dissemination of SIP/PIP Findings, Implications and Recommendations: Students will be asked to develop a School Improvement Action Plan Report for your Final Comprehensive Report in EDLD 5398. This report should also address the findings, implications and recommendations from your action research. The report should also provide information and examples of how you shared and disseminated progress on your SIP/PIP throughout your internship via blogs, wikis, and Discussion Board postings. This dissemination plan is addressed in your Week Three Assignment, Part 4.
