Choosing An Action Research Topic

 
        The three areas that I discussed with my site supervisor for action research were to see how successful the “BAC” unit was for getting students with extreme behavior problems back on the right track for success, see how brain research could help in the memorization of basic math facts, and determine if changing a student’s schedule to include and extra RTI class was beneficial in raising a student’s ability level.
         I discussed these three topics with my site supervisor this week.  During the discussion we decided that I should do my action research in the area of basic math facts.  He said that he felt like the success of the “BAC” unit may be a little hard to track because it is not located on our campus and I would not have direct access to it along with the fact that we don’t have a huge number of students from our campus that are placed there each year.  Philip said he thought the math topic area would work better than the RTI for the fact that I am more passionate about this area because it is what I teach on a daily basis.  He said it was better suited for me and that I would be able to directly use the results in my own classroom.
