Stop......No not Hammer time....it's Revision Time!

The conference that I had with my site supervisor went very well. The meeting involved just the two of us and was held in her office at M. Robinson Elementary school. We discussed the rough draft I had come up with for my action research project and she gave me some very helpful advice.

The revision my site supervisor made to my action research template was to the people responsible column. She wants the project to include more people, so we will be forming a committee at the beginning of the school year that will have a representative from kindergarten through fifth grade. She wants this to involve the entire campus that way students from every grade level will benefit. The committee will meet to discuss what topics each of the grades levels will put on their interactive science bulletin boards. She believes that with every grade level doing a different topic, teachers from all over the campus can take students to these boards and use them for review of older material for older students and also for a better understanding of new curriculum for our younger students.

The other parts of the plan she approved of and she seems extremely excited about beginning this project. I believe our conference went very well and we plan on meeting the first week of school to discuss the forming of a committee, as well as tips on how to run a committee meeting effectively.

  1. Dearest King, I've tried twice, once last Saturday and now today, to access your action research plan by copying and pasting as instructed, but I have not been successful in opening the document; it tells me I do not have access to it.

  2. Hi Russell, I've sent a request to gain access to your plan; I am assuming it will go to you. I have not been able to access it; access is denied. However, it sounds like the science bulletin board project is off to a great start. I'm glad to hear that your prinicipal is enthusiastic about it and guiding the creation of a school-wide committee. I think this will be a great experience and there is a huge benefit for students. I posted in your class discussion to check with special ed teachers for ideas and help as well. Best wishes!
