Action Research Review Lessons Learned

After reviewing the Action Research Dissertation from Dr. Breseno I am excited to use that I learned on my campus this year. Because I will be teaching bi-lingual students again, there is much information that I can glean in relation to helping close the gap for these students. Some of the things that he suggested were of course to meet their needs, but also to build relationships on increase expectations, giving additional support, engaging through extracurricular activities, communicating with a purpose to parents, and establishing a welcoming environment.

When reviewing the Action Research Dissertation from Dr. Chargois, I found the information was good, but not as eye opening. Things like school size, class size, teacher experience, etc. are all factors in students passing the TAKS test. What I did find interesting is that schools with 400-699 students scored higher, as did classes with 16-19 students being taught by teachers with 6-10 years of experience.
