Think about action research conducted within your school or district. What examples can you think of where you compare results of two groups? Are there comparisons of MAP scores conducted between each year, or between schools? Does your school compare grades or MAP based on gender or grade level? What examples do you have of action research in your district where you would use relationships between variables to make informed decisions? For example - do you look at retention rates and grades? Retention rates and free reduced lunch rates? Describe how you could use the methods learned this week to make meaningful decisions in your district.
