Action Reasearch Update

Well the progress of my action research is moving at a decent pace. I have been collecting information from teachers and coaches on how many words we want to track and move up through the lower grades to the higher grade levels. I have found with the start of school the project has taken a back seat to work happening at school and my newer classes.  The action part of this is a slow process due to trying to nail down the amount of words that will be tracking through the grade levels. I want it to be meaningful and on a level that all can benefit from it and make it something that teachers see and value. I think after the winter break when things start to settle down more I will be diving into it more and meeting with my vertical terminology team and start the process of setting the number of words and if we want to have a set guideline. Since we have vertical alignment teams here in all the subjects I will be talking to them all grade levels are represented in the circle. This way I can get input from the grade level reps and move forward. I will take that list and then move onto the coaches where we will fine tune the list and make sure the words can be broken down for lower grades to understand and have ways to implement the terms into lesson plans. Then I will go to the principal and get the approval to print and make them into charts.
