This week has really assisted in clarifying what exactly i want to focus on. Having had an opportunity to work on our district pacing guide i had a unique opportunity to grasp an in-dept understanding of how important it is to have a sound framework for our professional teachers to create their our lessons from.
Due to State mandates we had to incorporate the new College Readiness Standards within our existing pacing guides while tweeking our existing curriculum. This process lead to my action research focus on the question that will implementation of certain real world assignments that are linked to real world credentials for students increase postsecondary success or rediness? This will lead me to follow my student for at least a year or so after graduation. This will be possible for me to attain because i am a senior English teacher and my class is structured to where i have past students return the year after they graduate to speak with my current classes about regrets and or advise they have for the current senior class.
Dr. Johnny Briseno, Principal of Rancho Isabella Elementary, also memtioned during one of our vidoes this week that action research allows for data-driven collaboration and discussion; so this will have a positive impact on my district and it will also lend to the merit of the information that will be gathered and reflected on.
I am now excited about my research path since I have the support of my site supervisor and I am comfortable that this is something I can truly research and implement.
