Over the past week and a half, I have been pulling TAKS results for my specific subgroup. I have pulled years 2007 – 2010. I just need to zero in on the MALE population. This is a little more difficult than I had anticipated, but I keep pressing ahead. I have also pulled several articles related to the underachievement of the African American male population in our educational system. There is a lot more articles out there, and finding the information I need has been fairly easy. Now, I haven’t fully read the articles, so I can’t say if it contains the RIGHT information needed for my research.
I am presenting my action research topic and plan of research to the staff on April 22. This will be a short 5 minute presentation. At this presentation, I will also be distributing the link they can go to, in order to access the teacher survey. Even though I still have a tremendous amount of work to do with my action research, I am making good progress and keeping on track.
Amy, I love how you get the opportunity to present, even if it's just 5 minutes, that should give you the boost you need to show that you are going in the right direction. Especially once the teachers get to fill out your survey questions. Their comments will really help you out and give you even more direction. Good Luck!
