I have had to identify three possible topics for research. This is what I have so far:
1) I would like to chart the effectiveness of our bullying policy in its 2nd year at my school. I'd track the number of incidents documented and determine if the number is decreasing from the previous year. I would utilize anecdotal information from teachers and students. This would determine the impact of the policy and give insight that could lead to improving the policy.

2) My school is about to purchase eInstruction's classroom performance system (CPS or "clickers"). I recently received a grant for the NEO2 wireless keyboards. I want to see how these two technologies can be used together and I would track how many other teachers utilize this technology and the impact on reading and writing scores.
3) I would like to know how absenteeism and tardies correlate to student progress. Are students with above average absence/tardy rates scoring at or below average?
All great topics. What type of technology is CPS? -very interesting!
ReplyDeleteCPS is "Classroom Performance System". It is a product of eInstruction. Here is a link:

I used them years ago but we are getting new ones. I have also gotten a grant for a set of NEO2 wireless keyboards from Renaissance Learning: http://www.renlearn.com/neo/NEO2/default.aspx
I am curious to see how they impact our student success, especially in reading and writing.
