What have I learned?

I have learned I need to narrow my focus in several respects. These areas include my action research question and the current reality . Really what I want to address is Classroom Management. Why leave this to chance? I needed to be specific and include it in my question. My survey questions need to be centered about classroom management as well.
How do these sound?


Please indicate your role:

Instructional Coach ____
New Educator ________
Support Staff _________
Administrator ________
  1. How was support given to you in the area of classroom management?
  2. Were there areas of classroom management that you needed more support?
  3. What support did you receive in classroom management?

  5. What did not work?
  6. What would have helped you to make your classroom management work better?
  7. What suggestions do you have to improve the induction process?

Marie, So that you are clear on your work, answer the following:
1. Question Formation: What is my current Action Research Question?
I read dated March 12, 2007: "If classroom management is the priority need of NEs at my school, how do we change induction to meet their needs?" Is that your current AR question?
2. What one new learning have I gained?
3. Reflection: How does that impact School Liaison support/ Instructional Coach support? New Educator development?
By answering these questions, you will be prepared for today's elluminate session.

What meaning do the Instructional Coach, New Educator, Support Staff and administrator have for the term induction in #7?
On number six, would you want to add...make your classroom management or your coaching of classroom management...

Have you considered framing your AR question around the "support of classroom management and new educator development or student progress"?

Have you considered breaking down "classroom Management" to various components - identifying the elements? Perhaps there are some that are more needed than others?
