I plan seems to be taking shape. I know I have revised mine at least three times this week. You seem to have a clear and well organized plan to follow. I feel that these are all a work in progress and the further we go the more we will learn exactly what information will make our project complete. I like your idea for interventions once you have determined the root of the problem related to some of your students. I have seen several of these blog sites and yours is as good as I have seen. Keep up the good work. I signed on to follow yours I hope you can do the same for me. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, I completely agree with you. I have changed my plan several times as well - always thinking of something to add! I really love this topic! You are establishing a very positive way to handle at-risk students. My district has an AVID program that is similar to your Exiting Pathways course. You are very detailed on your plan from permission slips to disaggregation of data. I look forward to following your progress and the success not only you but the 9th graders will have with such a rewarding program! Good job, Kandice!
ReplyDeleteKandice I really like your topic, and I guess we have all changed our plans several times. I teach life skill studnets and I'm researching how so many minority students end up in life skill classes becasue of behavior problems. I would like to follow you and see how you progress along. Good luck with your reseach.
ReplyDeleteYour plan looks great, Kandice. Each step systematically addresses an aspect of your topic. I think more of our research should begin with 9th graders. My campus spends too much time scrambling to help wayward juniors and seniors, and the problem just perpetuates. It will be great to see what you find!
