This is an update on how I am doing on my action
research plan for graduate school. There
is good, bad, and ugly on this update. VERY
UGLY
The Good- I am committed
to my students mastering the language of the math to be successful both on the
STAAR and future courses. I have implemented
two strategies that have been widely successful in the classroom. One is highlighting the words on the
objective that I think are critical and the students must define. The second was the creation of the word in
translation slider that the students can use in the classroom. It was also discovered that these can be used
on the actual STAAR.
The bad- I am not
near as far into my plan and I dreamed I would be. The start of school with a new administration
and being on stage one has been OVERWHELMING add school to this and I feel like
a top spinning out of control.
The Ugly- There is
really no end at sight. If I do not
accomplish my action plan the students will not be successful and that is no
acceptable. Time management has become
critical and I MUST I think I can I think I
can I think I can succeed. The future
of my kids is at stake.
So that is the
good, the bad, and ugly. Right now I
really think that I need to take the advice of the little engine that could. I think I can I think I can.
