In determining a research topic, I had multiple discussions with members of my campus staff. There were many issues that were mentioned, such as addressing student tardiness, dress code compliance, and the reintroduction of dismissal bells. Improving school involvement from the parent's of our economically disadvantaged and Hispanic students, was a topic I highly considered researching due to the changing culture and makeup of the students at my campus. However, I chose to focus on issues that are important to my content area and as well as impact student achievement.
My site mentor and I discussed our district’s recent investment in professional development that addressed the continued low performance in the area of measurement and how we can begin to be more effective in our teaching practices. Thus, I came to the conclusion that researching what technology applications can be utilized and/or curriculum changes might need to be made to improve student achievement in measurement on secondary level standardized tests held the most relevance to my teaching environment. Through careful investigation, I plan to uncover some practical applications that encourage related research for the future to broaden the range of beneficiaries.
