Week 2
I conferenced with my site supervisor and we decided to do my action research based on after school tutoring. Our question: Will our after school tutoring help increase our benchmark scores for those students who scored below standard on our October reading benchmark? We are hoping to see an increase in scores. If we see increases, I would like to conference with the tutoring teachers and discuss what strategies were used during tutoring that they felt were effective in increasing benchmark scores. If we see increases, I am hoping we can model future tutoring sessions after the current tutoring sessions.

I really like this idea! I have done after school tutoring before to work with students who were in danger of not passing their TAKS test in math. It's so important with those guys that you do your best to get it right and use effective strategies because they are already struggling/behind. It gets old just going over "test taking strategies." Sometimes I think too much focus on this is part of the problem. What a great plan to use results to guide tutoring in the future. I am always a big fan of working together and learning from your fellow teacher as we are all focused on the same goal: helping our students to be successful.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that we can find a solution for tutoring. In previous years we have hired a teacher for tutoring during the day, but that didn't work due to scheduling conflicts. This year we allowed the teachers to tutor according to their schedule. Hopefully, we can compare a few different grade levels and compare time, grouping, and strategies to have a more structured tutoring program.
