My Action Research Plan

Action Planning Template
Goal: To make freshman students’ transition to high school comfortable by teaching them social skills and providing academic support that will affect favorable academic performance.
Action Steps(s):	Person(s) Responsible:	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
Identify a group of at risk students from the middle school that I will monitor throughout the school year.  (a sub population of approximately 15-25 that will include: Hispanic, Asian, African American, & Whites)	Deandria Brigham (site supervisor) and Middle School Counselor	August 2012 - May 2013	Students being monitored previous year academic performance (A.E.I.S report for middle school) & discipline referrals	Identify subgroup by giving demographic information to compare with current results to determine if monitored students improved, stayed the same, or declined.
Were the monitored students discipline referrals referral’s reduced and by what amount/percentage?	Reginald Ervin (me): site supervisor will pull the data from our referral system	August 2012 - May 2013	Skyward discipline referral data keeping source	Indentify whether there was any change in referral’s; increase/decrease or no change
Were the social issues of the monitored students minimized versus the freshman students that were not monitored?	Reginald Ervin	September 2012 (check this maybe after the first grade progress 3rd or 6th week) – May 2013	N/A	Interview or Questionnaires
