This looks great, you might want to extend the time frame of the compiling the report, at this pace I can see possible stress building up. But I like the idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your sample group of students? Is this your class, a grade level, the whole school?
ReplyDeleteI like how you are experimenting with various strategies. When do you plan to decide on the selected strategies? And how many students will be a part of the ARP?
ReplyDeleteI also really like that you are using just 3 selected strategies and staying focused so that you can see which one works the best. I'd also like to know what your sample is going to be? size, sub-group, random, selected?
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteThis is an area where research is definitely needed. Our science scores are very poor for the entire state. The strategies used in your plan are very specific and will keep you on task. I think I am going to narrow my plan down more so that it is not so general. These plans are always a work in progress. I hope you will add me to your blog list. My URL is harproject.blogspot.com. I look forward to suggestions and comments.
