The Final Decision....
I finally got to meet with my site supervisor to discuss more in detail my internship plan and discuss my topic for my action research project. I am so thankful that I have a supervisor that generally wants to help and has given me the open door to work on and create as I go through this grad school program. The one, and only, idea I was able to come up with she loved and thought I would be able to get lots of good information during my research. Our school is implementing The Curriculum Project. This past school year we
implemented a few components of the program and this current year we are really
going to get into the program full on. The Curriculum Project will require a lot
of changes for some in classroom structure, classroom management and
instructional changes. There are two areas of interest that I would like to research and monitor during
this implementation. I will research/monitor teacher implementation of the
curriculum project and what concerns/benefits they have seen as the program is
implemented. I also want to monitor a small group of students and track their
academic growth/achievement while The Curriculum Project is being implemented to
see if there are any positive results from the strategies and instructional
changes. As soon as we discussed the idea I was "selected" to be on a committee that will meet periodically throughout the school year to meet with the project administration to discuss and assess its usage. LOL. I should be able to complete lots of those internship plan activities working on this project. :)

So gald that you were able to find an idea that works for you and your principal. When I talked to my principal, we never got past my first idea. My principal too is very eager and willing to help me in any. I have already been told that on days when she is at school, I will stand in for her! Let us all know how your project goes. I have never heard of the The Curriculum Project before. I am going to have to do some homework and research it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad as well that you have a research project. I am interested to follow your project and see if the are postitive changes by implementing the new program. Good on you for being on the committee and I am sure you'll have no problem getting in your hours! Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteAndrea good job connecting with your principal and finalizing your action research plan! I am interested in learning more about The Curriculum Project and the impact it will have on your school. I look forward to reading your blog post about this exciting venture!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you have so much support in your action research project. I am now curious about The Curriculum Project, and, if I have time, I plan to do a little research of my own to find out more about it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you and your principal were able to decide on your project! It is great that she is on board with you. I am also curious about The Curriculum Project. What are the components of it? I am interested to see how your teachers take to this, as well as your students!
