Action Research "Wondering"

I am currently in my eighth course in the Lamar University Master's in Educational Leadership program. This ourse addresses Action Research. I am still pondering exactly what action research truly means; however, as a requirement for completing this course, I must create an action research plan. The first step is apparently to pose a question which I would like to investigate.

For the past two years, I have been greatly involved in our campus' pursuit of developing an effective RTI system. We have not had adequate time to evaluate the effectiveness of this system, so my question may be...

How effective has the RTI program been in improving students' reading performance on state assessments?

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  1. I to have been on the RtI team from the beginning at my campus. We have seen kids make great strides on understanding. I think RtI would be a great idea for action research.
