Trey, I think character education is very important and should help students with behavior issues. I do have a few questions. Between steps 2 and 3, are you involved with creating the character education curriculum, or is this something that is already being used on your campus and you are simply studying the effectiveness? Will you be instrumental in making sure the character education classes are following or adhering to certain guidelines in order to insure its effectiveness?
ReplyDeleteThis is a necessary topic to study. I hope you get a signature from your current administrator on your plan and, if you do have a new administrator next year, are allowed to continue your research.
I am pretty sure I will have some say in it as long as we keep our principal. I did not think of adding that as a step but have gone back and added it thanks.
DeleteNice outline. Looks similar to mine as far answering the questions about what your doing, whose doing what, when its due and what the evaluation will be. I too at first was a little skeptical on how mine will look. But I just went with it and rolled the dice. I like your idea of research. One little piece of advice I'd share with you is to look into Character Counts.org That is a website we were using quite frequently last year in school. I felt that the upperclassmen were to immature for it, but its something to look into definitely with freshman. I teach it a little bit of it in my freshman video class.
ReplyDeleteTrey, your action research plan looks great. Would you mind looking at mine agommert1.blogspot.com ?
ReplyDeleteI really like your plan, I think it is important to be proactive with freshman. Hopefully the freshman will be truthful in their surveys so you can get some useful feedback.
