One step closer...

This week, I spoke with my supervisor regarding my action research plan. I discussed the steps I would take and how I thought things would progress. She was impressed. She, in fact, has been impressed with everything I've been asked to do in my grad school studies. Her only question to me was regarding my ability to change things if I saw that I needed another step or needed to switch gears. I reassured her that wouldn't be a problem and I'm posting my revised action plan WITHOUT any necessary revisions at this time. :)

Action Planning Template
Goal: What are some assessments that would provide valid reading levels for students on my campus so that guided reading and individualization of instruction is more effective, is data driven, and yields better assessment results?
