EDLD 5352 - Action Research Project Progress



My Action Research Project has focused on the impact of Step up to Writing on our students’ English Language scores - specifically on writing conventions.  We just received our site level test data for this last years’ state tests.  I will be analyzing the students’ scores a part of a three-year examination of their progress since we went to a school wide writing strategy.  The preliminary results are that we had a slight drop as a school in our scores but a larger one for our EL students.  I will be looking into this as part of my research.
I have the survey data from this last year and will shortly be giving another survey to the teachers to look at implementation data as well as perception data.
Over the summer, I acquired additional literature on Step Up to Writing from my principal and from the English chair and am in the process of adding this information to my project.  I am looking forward to finishing my project his fall.
