Week 4 Reflection - Revisions

I met with my site supervisor and the special education director again this week and still did not get much in the way of suggestions for revisions.  We discussed that several revisions may be needed during the process, but we would have to begin reviewing the data and the process before we would know what the revisions would be and how to make them.  I guess you could say "Revisions are Pending"!  He also mentioned that I may need to use “hands on practice” somewhere in my wording.  Our district/school is very focused on the students participating in the process of learning and strives to ensure constant hands on learning for our students.  Another point that was discussed was the Algebra 1 teacher who I will be working with.  He will be attending some training this summer that they felt would be beneficial for me to attend.  My principal seems to be very supportive and excited about the research project to begin.  The collaboration with the special education director, who is also very interested in the results, was also good.  She is very interested in helping me with the process and strategies in any way she can.  She wants me to keep her updated on the process so that we may use what is learned to begin strengthening our system district wide.  I wish it were time to get this thing rolling... but can't do much at this point.  I have began to gather data, but still waiting on state results to come in from this year.
