She announced that all of our site superfvisors have been e-mailed the PISE and Dispositions for Educators Survey, and again reminded us that the surveys and reflections are due by the end of week 5. She gave a reminder to read the weekly overview posted on the google site and also to meet with our field supervisor before the end of week 5. Next, she went over the requirements of the Internship Log and stated that reflections must be made on all 38 competencies. We did a very helpful APA activity where Dr.Borel gave us the citations with mistakes and walked us through the corrections. I really enjoyed this activity because it helped me to see that I am on track. Last, Dr. Borel covered more about the action research project paper. We must adhere to the APA format and follow the template and rubric in order to get credit. She stated that reports that do not follow the template will not be graded.
Overall I am very impressed with the format and overviews that Dr. Borel is presenting at the web conferences. These have been so much better than any of the other courses I have taken. I think it helps that there are less than 20 participants in the conferences as well.

Number of AR Project Documented Hours: 20 hours
AR Project Summary (at least 250 words):
The goal of my action research project is to determine the effectiveness of an in school tutoring program for reading intervention. The first action step was to meet with the director of the Austin Learning Center to discuss the possibilities of an in school tutoring program that focuses on reading improvement for secondary students reading significantly below grade level. We met in December 2012, and started the planning process. We looked at the current data that we had and determined a tentative schedule for the tutoring. We discussed the budget and what this meant as far as the number of tutors and hours that could be provided. We met again after the holiday break, and had to make some changes to our tentative schedule because the school had gone through a schedule redesign. The first step was to assess identified students to determine which students would be utilizing the tutoring. The tutors and I administered the STAR Reading Assessment, analyzed the data, and chose a group of 8 high school students who were all reading below the 3rd grade level to participate in the program. The tutors began their sessions, meeting with each student twice a week. Unfortunately, we had several students released from the court ordered program, so they were not able to finish the tutoring program. The good news is that the tutors were able to see progress in the short amount of time that they did receive the tutoring. We have had some issues come up in the program, such as the tutors not being able to meet with students due to the students’ behavior problems. I am hoping that this doesn’t impact the results in the end. The tutoring is still in the process of being implemented and will end on May 15, 2013. The tutors are using the Challenger Reading Program and are monitoring student progress regularly. After each tutoring session, the tutors’ record notes for each student which gives the time spent, a summary of the session, and needs that the student will continue to work on. I have been in constant communication with the tutors to work through any issues and to discuss student progress. The tutors have provided me with their tutoring notes so that I can monitor the progress and program. My action research project is coming along as expected and I look forward to the results.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Students are in need of a positive

<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">The strategies that I am
recommending would be to start by contacting mentor-tutor programs in the
community to form a partnership with our program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next, we would form a committee consisting
of campus teachers, school counselors, Travis County staff such as probation
officers and members of the treatment team, and a representative from the community
program that will be providing the tutor-mentors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At our first meeting, we would collaboratively
develop a clear statement of our purpose and goals, discuss the selection or
matching plan for tutor-mentors to students, and develop a schedule for the
tutor-mentors to meet with students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The students will be meeting with their mentors once or twice a week
while they are in the residential treatment facility, but will continue to
provide their guidance after the student is released.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tutor-mentor will be provided with
activities to use when working with students such as reading books together,
having lunch together, and helping with homework.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students will also be involved in
deciding how the pair will spend their time together.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Another activity would be to host
a family night once a month where the mentor-tutors would meet with students
and their parents to develop relationships and discuss student progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would be a time to give parents
updates on how students are doing, and also support parents by providing them
with suggested strategies for working with the students once they are
released from the program.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">According to the National Dropout

youth groups, but has been extremely effective with youth in at-risk
situations.</span></div>

effective strategy for keeping students in school. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Programs across the country have an
abundance of solid evidence supporting this fact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, the most comprehensive
national research evidence is from a thorough review of Big Brother/Big
Sister programs (Tierney & Grossman, 1995) showing these results:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">According to the National
Mentoring Partnership website, studies of mentoring programs that provide
youth with one-to-one mentoring relationships have provided strong evidence of
their success in reducing the incidence of delinquency, substance use and
academic failure. In addition, these studies also show that youth mentoring
programs can promote positive outcomes, such as improved self-esteem, social
skills and knowledge of career opportunities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Implementation Steps:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">1. Create a committee consisting
of campus teachers, school counselors, Travis County staff such as probation
officers and members of the treatment team, and a representative from the
community program that will be providing the tutor-mentors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Develop a clear statement of our purpose and goals, discuss the
selection or matching plan for tutor-mentors to students, and develop a
schedule for the tutor-mentors to meet with students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-hyphenate: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Develop a recruitment and selection plan for the tutor-mentor
volunteers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">EDLD 5301 has expanded my
knowledge on all aspects of action research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It has given me the tools needed for continual school improvement while
developing the leadership skills essential to creating a positive change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prior to starting this class, I was somewhat
nervous about taking a class called Research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although I have always enjoyed reading research based literature, the
thought of having to do a research project followed by writing a research paper
was somewhat daunting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My prior
experiences led me to believe that I would be doing the type of research that
requires extensive statistical analysis, experimental designs, a control group,
and all the other things that you think of when you hear the word research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To my relief, I learned that administrative
inquiry focuses on the concerns of the practitioner, allowing them to provide
insight into their own practice in an effort to make changes leading to
improvements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What I appreciate most about
this course is that it offers various avenues for learning in order to develop
a deeper understanding of administrative inquiry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The videotaped lectures provided valuable
insights, and I especially enjoyed the week 2 interviews of the scholars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned different ways that educational
leaders are using action research to improve their schools and districts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing that stands out in my mind is a
piece of advice given by Dr. Chargois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He said that you should never stop learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a leader, this is advice that I will
continue to live by, and hope to instill in those that I lead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I appreciated the opportunity to learn from
the respected educational leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
able to reflect on the advice that was given and apply it to what I am doing
now as a leader. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The weekly web conferences
were extremely beneficial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gave me
the opportunity to interact with the professor and others in the class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being able to ask questions and get immediate
feedback was extremely helpful in completing the weekly assignments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly, the blogs, discussion boards, and
Facebook page were all valuable resources in developing a greater understanding
of the inquiry process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By commenting on
each other’s posts, we were able to offer new perspectives, and pose questions
and recommendations that led to deeper thinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The feedback that I received was instrumental
in helping me to develop my action research plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the comments led to revisions of my
plan, and others gave me new wonderings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Overall, the interaction and feedback from others was a critical piece
in developing a solid action research plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The assignments where I met
with my site supervisor were extremely beneficial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being able to get her input and expertise in
choosing my action research plan was very helpful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She fully supported the action research plan
and offered valuable advice such as the need to make sure that the assessment
instrument I used to determine the students’ reading levels was research based,
valid, and reliable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second meeting
to finalize my proposed plan went very well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My site supervisor asked questions about my process that led me to
realize that I had left out two critical steps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her insights and recommendations for revisions were helpful in creating
the final action research plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The assigned readings from
both textbooks in the course were also beneficial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned various ways to continuously
examine school improvement, and have developed a deeper understanding of
conducting administrative inquiry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
especially found the readings about the nine areas where many school leaders
find their wonderings to be useful in examining areas for improvement on my own
campus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of the nine areas, the one that
stood out to me the most was the area of staff development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned that this is an important area of
action research because it is essential for teacher, student, and school
improvement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It enriches learning and
improves the learning of students (Dana, 2009, p. 32-34).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since principals play a critical role in
developing a meaningful staff development program, I can definitely see myself
using inquiry in this area in the future.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As I near the completion of
this course, I feel completely prepared to implement an action research project
on my campus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tools that I learned
in this course are invaluable for continually improving student, teacher, and
school performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am confident that
I have the skills and knowledge to continue the process of inquiry throughout
my administrative career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

site supervisor went extremely well. She
was very pleased with the plan, and said that she thought it was an important
research project to conduct and looked forward to the results. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">She did have two questions that led to some
minor revisions. First, she asked if I
received permission to implement the tutoring from the Travis County facility
supervisors. I explained that I met with
them and made sure that they reviewed and accepted the proposal before
implementation. Another question that she
asked was about parent communication.
She wanted to know if I planned to share the progress of the students
with parents. Since my students are
living in a residential treatment facility, parents will have to be given
updates by phone or written communication.
I decided to include updates through progress reports that are already
sent home every six weeks. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">My site
supervisor suggested that I include both of the steps suggested into the
plan. I revised the original planning
template to include the collaboration with Travis County supervisors step and the
parent communication step as well. I
agree that they are both critical steps of the research project and should be
included in my plan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Here is a revised copy of my action planning template.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">When collaborating with the leadership campus team, two
problems were identified:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>High school

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">To address the problem, it was decided that a portion of
the title 1 funds would be allocated to contract tutors to provide in school
reading intervention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reading
intervention will be provided to high school students that are reading
significantly below grade level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
program will take place during the students’ Delta/Study Lab class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students will receive tutoring for one
hour a day, twice a week, for at least 15 weeks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The goal is to increase student reading

additional data on the effectiveness of various techniques for reading
intervention by reading relevant literature and applying it to what we are

below grade level, it hinders their ability to learn in all other subjects

research project will be conducted by collaborating with the tutors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tutoring timeline is 15 weeks which is
close to the average stay of the students in the facility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will determine if implementing a
relatively short term tutoring program is effective at increasing student
reading levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The plan will be
evaluated for effectiveness by comparing pre and post reading assessments,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
I would love some feedback please:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
I work in a residential
treatment facility for juvenile offenders. My kids are court ordered for
up to 18 months in this particular facility, and we have a
new program where kids can be sentenced for up to 3 years (kid prison really). I've been here
for 11 years, and the first 7 were spent teaching Reading
in the Juvenile Detention Center next door.
One of the biggest problems that I see are high school kids reading
significantly below grade level. By significant I mean K-3rd grade
reading levels. This affects their ability to learn in all subjects, and
all of these students are behind in all other subjects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
I've wanted to implement some type of reading
intervention program on this campus for some time (can you believe we don't
have one?), and this year I asked if we could utilize title 1 funds for an
intervention. I was told that I could work with a tutoring company that
was contracted with the district, and was budgeted a specific amount to spend. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
So, here are my possible action
research questions. They are all similar, just worded differently which I feel changes the focus somewhat.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is the effectiveness of a new in school
tutoring program for reading intervention?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can we effectively increase reading
levels in the short amount of time that our students are enrolled?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I know
that some of the kids getting the tutoring will be released before the end of
the program, so I am going to have students with different amounts of time
spent tutoring. I wonder if this will be a problem for the research.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given the relatively short amount of time that
students are enrolled in my school, will the new in school tutoring program for reading
intervention be effective at increasing student reading levels?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
Of the above 3 questions, which
do you think is the best one to use as my research project question?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
Or do you have another
suggestion?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
I would appreciate any
feedback!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt;">
<span>Thank you so much! </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>

Through the Dana text, I learned about where a principal might find their "wonderings" and questions. This helped me think about my own experiences, and how I could use action research on my campus now. After reading numerous examples in the book, I was able to come up with three topics of critical importance to propose to my principal as possible action research questions. I feel it was a valuable experience to go through each one and get my principal's view of each problem. I feel a huge sense of relief knowing that my proposed action research project was accepted by my principal, as this was something that I have been struggling with choosing. I chose to study the effectiveness of a new in school tutoring program for reading intervention. I've already begun some background reading of relevant literature and am looking forward to moving to the next step of the process.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">I have learned that action research is an effective tool for
improving teaching and learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>School
leaders can use action research to address learning issues while simultaneously
motivating teachers to improve their teaching practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For educational leaders, the steps in action
research are to identify a problem or “wondering” within the school, develop
and implement an action research plan, collect and analyze data along with
reading relevant literature, and then evaluate and share the results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a process that takes time to develop, implement,
and complete, but it becomes a powerful vehicle for learning and school
improvement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">I also learned that action research is different from the
traditional educational research approach in that it is focused on the concerns
of the practitioner and allows them to play an active role in the research by
investigating their own problems. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Action research has numerous benefits for school
leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can serve as a powerful tool
for professional development; it forces principals out of isolation by allowing
the opportunity to collaborate with others; it allows principals to become role
models for teachers and students; and it helps best practices to flourish
within a school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">I plan to use action research now and in the future as an
administrator to continuously improve my school, especially where student
performance is concerned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Currently
there are two areas that I seek to improve at my school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first involves a schedule change to
address the need of a new long term unit of students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last semester students were complaining that
they did not feel they were getting an adequate education due to being in mixed
grade level classes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A new schedule was
created this semester to address the concern and I would like to use action
research to measure its effectiveness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
also want to research the effectiveness of a newly implemented tutoring
intervention program for reading improvement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I wonder if the new in school tutoring intervention is effective at
increasing student reading levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Action research is an effective and powerful tool that I
look forward to using now and in the future as an administrator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">A Blog can
be an excellent tool for educational leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is a place where important school related information can be

closing due to bad weather can be posted immediately. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A blog can be used instead of a newsletter to
keep parents informed of upcoming events and other school news. It can also be
