So far I have completed the action research plan and
outlined activities to complete the research. I have become more actively
involved as a leader on my campus and the principal has offered professional
development opportunities as well as the opportunity to oversee the CTE (career
and technology education) curriculum for the Magnet Program. I have completed
quite a few hours; however, there is still much left to be done for my action
research plan. I have not completed all the domains on the internship plan.
Nevertheless, on the action research plan I have successfully built consensus
on the assessment of the current medical magnet program outcomes and areas for
improvement as well as developed a two year pilot program curriculum for
implementation in grades 6,7,8. In addition, meetings were coordinated for
textbook selection and the process and evaluative criteria for textbook
selection was implemented and books ordered for the health science program. I
am currently in the process of securing sponsors and affiliations and preparing
to implement an integrated accountability plan for community partners,
including parents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and higher education
institutions. It is nearing the end of the first six weeks so I am also
preparing to send out student surveys to evaluate student perception of the
magnet program. The data from six weeks test must be analyzed and strategies
implement to ensure that cross curricular teaching through the CTE magnet
program is best utilized for student success. The committee will discuss plans
and strategies to correct any issues in the next meeting and to discuss the
data.
