ARP Blog from Nicole DiLuglio

Rhonda- I enjoy reading your thoughts on the Lamar discussion board and your blog. You are very thoughtful and thorough with your submissions. Your action research project is quite similar to mine. I am looking at how to identify students who need interventions before they take the EOCs in Bio, Chem, Alg I, and Geometry. I am interested to hear how you are collecting and analyzing the data. Do the teachers make their own unit tests or do they come from the district? One question that I had for you-will you also look at strategies developed to help students improve. In one post I saw that, but then your plan only stated information about analyzing data. I am interested in how you are planning to study successful strategies for pulling those scores up. on Action Research Plan Publish | Delete | Spam I am just looking at the data right now.  We have new procedures already in place for this year.  We did tutorials one week prior to the STAAR..each WG teacher took a specific TEK and drilled students on that TEK.  They went from class to class every 30 minutes to be drilled on the new TEKS.  Scores weren't stellar so we are seeing if keeping them in our own classes will be more beneficial.  A lot of students did not like going to another teacher's class for tutorials.
