So far in my action research project I have completed steps
1-5. I began the process by meeting with
my team, principal, and associate principal to share background
information. It was of the utmost
importance that they know why I chose this action research project, what I
believe we can gain from it, and how I would like to work together to achieve
the goal I have set forth. I have so far
met with my team and administrators to review, discuss, and reflect on what we are doing and what the
plan is to keep moving forward. In order
for this to be successful I need to have the teachers and principal understand
my goal and mission. I found incorporating
Conscious Discipline has been quite successful.
The teachers enjoy the program and so do the kids. There are some situations where it may not
have worked as well as I would have hoped in calming misbehavior, but this is
where you must assess the program and tweak it to fit your goals in the
classroom. For some children I believe
it is working wonders, in other cases it is not providing the teacher with
enough to control certain situations.
This is something that can be worked on and as always a teacher can
supplement it with any type of behavior plan they deem fit. Conducting action research is a process as we
all know. Some areas have been
successful and it is great to see that it can work and most importantly help
our students. Improving behavior issues
will, in turn, allow for greater academic success which is our continuous
goal. I look forward to continuing on in
this journey and seeing the results it will bring.
