Progress Update on my Action Research Plan

I have progressed more in my action research plan than I anticipated. I had a discussion with the reading teachers on my campus about the need of an assessment plan so that we are all on the same page regarding reading level assessments. They were very open to it so I started researching diferent assessments. I met with my principal about the assessments I wanted to use and shared with her some of the research regarding why I wanted to include the assessments I wanted to include. She was thrilled with the work I’d done and gave me permission to move forward. I spent many hours putting together the master copy of our reading level plan. I included everything needed for those assessments, as well as information on how to give them. I also spent some time creating forms to help the teachers if I thought they were needed. I met with my principal again and showed her my draft notebook. We found a few things we needed to tweak so I made those changes and went on to the next step of gathering the supplies. I ordered supplies needed for notebooks for all of the teachers in grades k-2 and the reading teachers in grades 3-5. I copied and put together the notebooks. I met with the teachers and discussed the contents of the notebook. We went throught the assessments and discussed which grade levels needed them and when the assessments would be given. I also explained the various forms, how to give the assessments, and we talked about the materials needed for them. Implementation began the following day.
