Action Research Plan

Love the idea, it kind of goes along with my arp. The only suggestion that I have is to have the faculty meeting discussing expectations in early september rather then october. By october classroom expectations have been set and changing expectation just when the students are starting to get the hang of things would be cruel, lol. It would more then likely upset the teaching staff as well. This is just my perspective, you may have a different school acceptance standard then our staff, I know our staff would not like to have to change their classroom expectations after they spent an entire month teaching them. Consistency must start from the beginning of the school year rather then after it has already started. Does this make sense? I may have totally read the ARP wrong too..... hope it helps! =)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather, all expectations should be in place at the beginning of the school year to be effective. Maybe the first week of Teacher orientation you may get a quick committee together to set some guidelines. Just thinking.. But I do love the idea of having standard across the board positive and negative consequences.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! Thanks Heather and Terry! I'll talk to my AP and see if she's willing to move up our first faculty meeting to our first week back! :)
DeleteYou have a good plan in place. Again with Heather and Terry, it will be easier for teachers if they know the first time your campus meets what the expectations are and what consequences there will be. They will need a chance to wrap their mind around it and really learn it. It will be important that all students see the teachers and staff on board and really sticking to it and the way for that to happen is to have your teachers really comfortable with the plan BEFORE they see students. You are going to do a great job!
ReplyDeleteDecreasing negative behavior is a great topic considering that all schools have problems with this topic. It will be interesting to see what research you gather on how to decrease negative behavior since it all really does start at home. I think if there was a lot of parent involvement and they are on board then this topic has a start!
ReplyDeleteI was apart of a behavior team on my campus last year that helped move the school on a school wide behavior plan. I am not sure what all of yours will include, but am excited to hear your findings at the end of this project. I would definitely agree with the previous comments about starting at the beginning of the year during teacher staff development. That is when we introduced our plan and it took that whole week for teachers to buy-in, ask questions, and get situated with the new discipline expectations. The good news is, after a few weeks it became very natural and the school's discipline problems decreased drastically! So keep up the good work, positive changes are in sight!!
ReplyDeleteVery detailed and great plan Jennifer. I agree with the rest of the ladies that it might be more effective if the meeting is moved to an earlier time. They will be able to implement the plan more consistently.I hope the research you uncover is very successful this school year.
