After some nice and quiet camping with the husband, I am back to finish posting action research plans and comments and what not.  I hope you all enjoyed your weekend or Spring Break and feel free to leave any comments regarding my revised plan! I really only added how I planed to share my findings but would love some tips if you all have any!


Thanks again and just think.... WE MADE IT THROUGH WEEK 3!!! We are almost done!

Action Planning Template
Goal: To see an increase in vocabulary scores in Istation with the use of Imagine Learning
Action Steps(s):	Person(s) Responsible:	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
Survey teachers to identify current vocabulary instruction taking place in the classroom	Katelyn Turner	3/8/13	Survey through email	Using the results from the survey, about 95% of our staff was dissatisfied with our current vocabulary instruction provided by the curriculum.
Identify the student population for program seats	Disa McEwen Katelyn Turner	3/11/13	IStation scores STAAR Results Reading Curriculum Based Assessment scores for grades 2-5 Fluency wpm tables grades 1-2	Students were selected base on three factors - Istation scores in vocabulary category, Grades 4-5 STAAR Results and Reading CBA's results. Other factors taken into consideration were fluency scores for students in grades 1 & 2 along with students overall comprehension capability which directly correlates to vocabulary development. Due to our failure to meet AYP within a sub-population that group was also targeted due their lack of vocabulary development. Teachers were then allowed to select students within parameters set according to our needs as mentioned above.
Discuss program and implementation of IL (Imagine Learning) with teachers in grade level meetings	Disa McEwen Katelyn Turner	3/18/13	Imagine Learning brochure Student list per grade level	Discuss with teachers and document concerns and implementation times
Invite parent support to use program with students for in class use and vocabulary club	Disa McEwen Katelyn Turner	3/18/13	Vocabulary club letter	Collect communication logs verifying student participation in program
Register students in program	Laurie Seibenthaler (CTA)	3/22/13	IL program student identification numbers	Double check to ensure all students are entered before implementation
Install IL on classroom computers and distribute logins	Laurie Seibenthaler (CTA)	3/22/13	Access to computers IL program	Check all classroom computers and computer lab to ensure program is installed
Monitor usage of IL by teacher and grade level	Katelyn Turner	biweekly	IL usage and growth reports	Use reports from Imagine Learning to ensure student use and implementation
Compare IL data to Istation vocabulary scores	Katelyn Turner	monthly	Istation reports Imagine Learning growth reports	Using Istation and Imagine Learning reports, I will compare the vocabulary scores and usage reports to see if there is a correlation between usage of IL and growth in Istation vocabulary scores.
Share findings concerning effectiveness or ineffectiveness of using Imagine Learning to promote vocabulary development with site supervisor and staff	Katelyn Turner Disa McEwen	Will report at the end of this school year June 2013 and again in June 2014 after continuing my study	Prezi presentation Data Staff meeting	Using the prezi creating showing results of IL in vocabulary development, I will share my findings with my staff.  If the program is effective, I will continue to monitor and report back again with them after the following year. IF the program is ineffective, then I will go back to the drawing board and research other vocabulary development programs and strategies.
