I am currently writing a preliminary report on my action research project for EDLD 5397, which has given me the opportunity to really reflect on what I have accomplished and what I still need to do to complete the project. I really enjoyed presenting at Region IV this past semester and with a packed house of 85 teachers was amazed at the demand to learn more about the topic and not just from elementary school teachers. I shared my strategies for setting up a Word Wall as well as providing them with daily activities that can be utilized to engage the students with the words.
My focus now needs to be on gathering more data to evaluate their effectiveness. I have changed schools and subject areas this summer so I am interested in seeing how successful this strategy is for improving vocabulary within this new group. I have discussed what I am doing with my new team and they don't seem that interested...yet. I'm hoping that if I can show them that they work that they would be interested in learning more.
