Action Research Plan

After reviewing my action research plan I thought the 7.1 template better suited my needs, hence the change in format .I also added a step for going over my compiled data with current administrators and discussing changes to policy that might make us more effective.

Tool 7.1 Action Planning Template

Goal: To study current campus policy and recommend changes to better suit the needs of students and teachers and support classroom instruction and organizational culture.
