My Action Research:

Specific Learning Targets in math workshop.

Posting what they will learn and are expected to do during the daily math lesson.

Will I be able to collect data to see student growth that can be measured accurately?

Informal Observations

Brookhart & Nitko (20111) state, “We need to
give students the opportunity to practice the kind of performance for which you
will hold them accountable” (p. 299).

Sagor (1992) “self-monitoring helps
professionals set their own improvement agendas” (p. 4).

Variables to consider:

Student ratio

More Males

First year teaching specific learning targets this way

Differentiated Instruction

Biases:

Do students need to see a learning target posted?

Some people may feel it is not needed until they see the true purpose.

Christina Jenks

cjenks — 2014-09-13 01:27:26 UTC

If I post learning targets, I need to clearly explain them and their needs to be clear student understanding

Start doing learning targets in other curricular areas

Will students grow into deeper thinking mathematicians?

How will I meet the needs of all students?

The school is in an area where half of the
families are very affiliated and half of the families are economically
disadvantaged. I have already noticed that my classroom is extremely different.

The value of writing up your research is that I learn

something important about my students. Mills (2014, pg. 179)

Literature Review

Through research of these many different sources

I have come to see that many of the best practices

of teaching is giving students learning targets for daily

lessons.
