1. Scheduling students to attend the RtI lab to log onto Odysseyware, 

2. Not enough Odysseyware licenses, we only purchased enough during summer school for those students enrolled in summer school.

3. Having students be successful and not wanting to attend the RtI lab before the end of the action research project. 

Identify Affirmations that must be sustained (look to the present)

(Assign points to affirmations from 1 to 3 in the order of the most important issues to consider.)

1. Arrange a schedule to get selected students into the RtI lab to work on Odysseyware.

2. Will teachers allow students to give up some class time or tutorials to work on Odysseyware? 

3. Will teachers want to spend extra time helping me with my action research project?

SMART Recommendations that must be implemented:

(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely)

(Assign points to recommendations from 1 to 3 in the order of the most important recommendations to implement.)

1. Start the action research project this week, by finding all data from those students who have not yet passed TAKS and STAAR End of Course exams

2. Find an evaluation method to use during their time on Odysseyware.

3. Keep our focus on the intended purpose of the research and keep accurate records of performance from now to the end of the year or the Passing of STAAR EOC.

EVALUATE – Specifically and Often

(Identify the best ways to evaluate the implemented recommendations.)

1. View weekly Odysseyware reports to see how students are progressing.

2. Use a pre and post benchmark to evaluate each student at the end of each subject unit.

3. For those students who have not passed the STAAR EOC, compare recent results with previous results to evaluate performance.
