Action Research Rubric
Our home groups are responsible for the planning and implementation of the action interventions. By allowing each home group to formulate its own intervention, the critical academic need will be addressed in the manner best suited for and by that interest group. Parents, students, counselors, administrators will work along side of the academic departments in implementing strategies that make the most sense for them. Instead of a one-size-fits-all intervention, each home group will determine the most effect strategy to use to address its particular needs.
Interventions could include a plethora of teaching strategies, special parent meetings to address the critical academic need, student-led study sessions, etc.
Action research is a qualitative approach which promotes a trial-and-error approach to problem solving. One ponders, "What impact will Socratic Circles have on this critical academic need?" The teacher implements this into her classroom and measures the results for her classroom and the school measures the entire population's results. Results are able to be disaggregated to the individual variables through our Edusoft program.
