Challenges for Action research

Challenges and Solutions

Some of the specific challenges that i foresee and have experience is the managing time. My action research is examining 6th grade students cumulative folders and determine if they have been in our school district grades K-5 and success on TAKS scores. I will compare their scores to students who have not been in our school district and took 5th grade TAKS. The cumulative folders are kept in the registar office and I have access during school hours. My best opportunity is early mornings before the school day starts. I have meetings three times a week during my conference period, so that leaves me two days. I also have other things to complete for our intern hours.

I have thought of a couple of solutions. One is continue to utilize my early mornings for research so that I can attend extra meetings for intern hours. I have a couple of things coming up that involves Saturdays at our school with students and my principle will allow me to do research on those days before the activities and a little time after the activity.
I also can use Euphoria but I can only attain my students which only leave me 150 students to search folders.

However, i have to use my time wisely and this will have to be a great challenge. Any suggestions
