Goal: The impact of reinforcing classroom instruction with technology for special education students, students who failed STAAR EOC Exams, and those that struggle in their classes by using Odysseyware and Study Island.
Action Steps(s):	Person(s) Responsible:	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
Setting the Foundation: Conduct a study to find out if students will benefit by using Odysseyware and Study Island to reinforce classroom instruction	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Classroom Teachers Technology Coordinators	October 2012	Computer STAAR EOC Data Student Grades Odysseyware Teacher Feedback	Meet with my site advisor to evaluate my plan for using technology to reinforce classroom instruction.
Analyzing Data: I will look at student grades, test scores, and ask teachers if they know of any other students they think may benefit from using this computer software to supplement classroom instruction.  Interview Teachers, RtI lab teacher and Principal to identify which students might benefit from reinforcing classroom instruction with technology	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Classroom Teachers Technology Coordinators	October 2012	Computer STAAR EOC Data Student Grades Odysseyware Teacher Feedback	Collect data from three week grade reports; find which students to use in action research project. Look at STAAR EOC Data
Develop Deeper Understanding: Studying the data and looking for improvements in student’s course grades or STAAR EOC Scores.	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Classroom Teachers Students Technology Coordinators	October 2012		Meet with Site Supervisor and use his evaluation on how the project is going.
Engaging in Self-Reflection: Post reflection of action research project in my blog Check timelines and ensure that all data is up to date. Ensure that original goal is being pursued and that results are being recorded.	Lee Sanchez Eddie Boggess, Principal Technology Coordinators	Monthly – October 2012 – May 2013	Grade Reports STAAR EOC Scores Data Collected During Action Research.	Meet with site mentor and determine If project is meeting goals we set.
Exploring Pragmatic Patterns: Do students have problems outside the classroom that hurts them in the classroom?	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Technology Coordinators	Monthly – October 2012 – May 2013	Grade Reports STAAR EOC Scores Data Collected During Action Research.	Meet with counselor, RtI Lab and Principal to find out if students face problems outside of school that hurt their coursework.
Determining Direction: Meet with site supervisor, RtI lab, counselor, and teachers to see if any students need to be added or no longer need help from Odysseyware or Study Island Determine if Odysseyware has helped students enough to release them from study ( Passed STAAR EOC) Interview Students, Teachers to determine if using Odysseyware and Study Island helped them achieve their grades goals.	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Classroom Teachers Students Technology Coordinators	Monthly – October 2012 – May 2013	Grade Reports STAAR EOC Scores Data Collected During Action Research.	Meet with Site advisor, RtI, and counselor to share my findings on the use of Odysseyware and Study Island to reinforce classroom instruction.  Share reports of students who have taken the STAAR EOC re-test to determine if improvements were made by using Odysseyware and Study Island.
Taking Action for School Improvement: Propose using Odysseyware and Study island to reinforce classroom instruction for all struggling students as part of our tutorial program.  Present data to site supervisor every three weeks Survey teachers if they would be interested in using and study island as a tutorial program	Lee Sanchez Judy White, RtI Barbara McCallister, Counselor Eddie Boggess, Principal Classroom Teachers Technology Coordinators	Monthly – October 2012 – May 2013	Grade Reports STAAR EOC Scores Data Collected During Action Research.	Meet with Site advisor, RtI, and counselor to share my findings on the use of Odyesseyware and Study Island to reinforce classroom instruction.
Sustaining Improvement: Share the data that I have collected with those involved in the Action Research project.  Examine the date to determine if Odysseyware and Study Island actually reinforced classroom instruction and grades did improve because of it.
