Week 4 of action research proved useful to me in that I learned about things that can affect the research. My action research plan of determining the effects of the new writing program for our 4th grade students and hoping for an increase in 4s, was enlightened by the acknowledgement that the scores could be skewed by problems such as teacher effectiveness in delivering the new writing program to the students and the consistency of time spent on the new writing program.
One helpful insight provided to me by a classmate was that I should think about a percentage of 4s and 3s that I am hoping the students will attain in order to determine whether the program is a success or not.
I feel that I have learned a lot from this week and appreciate everyone's input.
