Moving Forward

Today, our team met at the Loyola campus in Baltimore.  We shared our progress with regards to defining the methodology for our Action Research Plan.  We discussed different data collection ideas and what intervention treatments each of us are thinking of implementing in our classrooms.  A few team members like the idea of using the Hoberman sphere to teach deep breathing, whereas others are considering a more active agenda, like a brain break from www.gonoodle.com or a Zumba-like activity.

Next, we discussed our team and personal Wikis.  We are in the process of consolidating information so everything is more comprehensive and flows smoother.

Lastly, we touched on the number of participants to use for our Action Research Plan.  Many of us decided to collect data on one or two students in each one of our classes.  Due to departmentalization, some team members have two classes.

On Monday evening, we will meet with our our Research and Inquiry professor and discuss the progress of our plan and our next steps.
