What is Action Research?
• Various definitions in the educational literature, including:– “…the essential activity of a reflective teacher, as a viable means
for teachers to question the impact of their practice on student achievement and as a way of bringing teachers’ voices into the discourse around education policy” (Rust & Meyers, 2006, pp. 73);
– “…any systematic inquiry conducted by teacher researchers, principals, school counselors, or other stakeholders in the teaching/learning environment, to gather information about the ways that their particular schools operate, how they teach, and how well their students learn” (Mills, 2000, pp. 6).

STEP 1: Identify Area of Focus and Research Question
• Problem of practice: Effective reading strategies to improve comprehension of informational and literary text.
• Research question: Does the use of Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and OneNote software for close reading accompanied by annotation improve students’ reading comprehension?
![Page 21: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
STEP 2: Collect and Analyze Evidence
• Research reviewed:– Personal connections facilitate valuable outcomes that result from
reading and interacting with the text (Brown, 2007).
– Linking personal experience with texts helps students make connections between existing literacy skills and those necessary for success in disciplines outside English/language arts (National Council of Teachers of English, 2007).
• Data reviewed: All students performed poorly (less than 70% success rate) on initial evaluation using Achievement First annotation rubric.
![Page 22: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
STEP 3: Develop a Plan of Action
• Strategy: Implement close reading strategy accompanied by explicit instruction on annotation for each major teaching unit.
• Resources: Use Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and OneNote software as tools for enhancing close reading and annotation.
![Page 23: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
STEP 3: Develop a Plan of Action
• Students: All students inDr. Holbrook’s 7th grade language arts class completed a selected reading strategy and annotations using traditional paper and pencil as well as digital tools (Surface Pro 3, OneNote).
• Timeline: October 2014 – April 2015.
![Page 24: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
STEP 4: Implement and Monitor the Plan
• Evaluation plan: Monitor student progress using Achievement First annotation rubric.
![Page 25: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
STEP 5: Communicate Results
• Findings: – Increase in overall interaction with text.
– Increase in textual comprehension.
– Increase in ability to make inferences.
• Dissemination: Findings shared with interdisciplinary team members, administrators, attendees at Action Research Summit.
![Page 26: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
STEP 6: Continue Reflection
• Implications for practice: – Introduce to students early in school year. Before using
Microsoft Pro 3, introduce students to OneNote using Office 365.
• Strengths/limitations of strategy: – Improved student skills, enthusiasm, and responsibility.
– Surface 3 is fragile, limited to single student use at one time, and difficult for students to record voices. Students still needed hard copies of material.
• Next steps for teaching practice: – Obtain multiple devices, seek alternate devices to allow access
to OneNote.

Problem: Teaching the Same Way to 28 Different Students
Each year I have a classroom of mixed ability students all trying to learn the same topic.• How am I supposed to teach Johnny to find the mean if he can’t divide?• What do I do with Ella, who already knows how to find the mean?• What is the best way to personalize learning for all students with just one
me?
![Page 30: Improving Teaching and Learning through Action Research REL Appalachia Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC) June 19, 2015 Hazard, Kentucky 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042703/56649e555503460f94b4cc9e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

31
Michelle’s Question
• Research question: Will homogeneous, personalized learning stations improve academic performance?
• Learning about the problem: – I researched effective differentiation practices.
– I found information on homogeneous grouping, but mostly for gifted students.
– I learned about personalized learning stations at an ARI summer training and focused my research on this particular topic.
– Research is limited on whole-classroom personalized learning, but one study reported that it worked in the mathematics classroom so I had to try it.
• Questions about Steps 1 and 2?
