Our ES did not meet the AYP for 2010-2011. Centered Action Research will be on
Teacher development in ESL, Math and Project Class and Empowering Writer’s. The questions are set and we are analyzing data, the next step is to visit the various web-sites for PD, district and regional and to implement them with best practice. This can be done through a spirit of collaboration.
Topic
1. School Performance
In what grade level, academic areas were the students who performed poorly on TAKS for 2010-2011 and how can we effectively help improve the scores?
Data Collection and Analysis

2. Staff development
What effect does the ESL program have at said ES to meet the academic needs of the LEP? How can we help the teachers help the lowest performing and LEP students to performance well on standardized tests?
Staff development of LEP and low performing students
Plan PD for staff development if ESL. Use of vocabulary and pictures in the primary grades. Use of test taking skills and exposure to the test by offering mock tests on a regular basis.
3. School Culture/Community
How can I improve student behavior and build character at the same time?
Project Class Behavior and Character Development for Students
Staff Training/follow up trainings (weekly)-school-wide. Each classroom will refer students who have trouble following the project Class routine. These children will meet with a professional from Project Class every week for the next six weeks.
4. Curriculum development
Can Empowering Writer’s Program effectively produce better writers to meet the demands of the STAAR and college and career readiness from grades k-5th?
Empowering Writer’s
Empowering Writer’s training is a very elaborate program which comes with materials already prepared. There are certain methodologies to use for each grade level. Every month a focus is sent to the teachers and is also included in the TE.
5. Staff Development/Curriculum development
How can I develop staff on better math practices in across all grade levels? School-wide math teacher training from pk-6th grade which would include follow-up training to each classroom, model classes and advise to teaches.
Daily tutoring.
