In Context

It is time to begin my action research!

My research is going to focus on my classroom culture.  We have a school-wide behavior plan in place.  Many teachers at our school have stated few observations that this plan has helped with student behavior and classroom management.  I can say I have noticed a few changes but they are few and far between.  I wondered if there could be a possible link to giving students specific feedback on their target/goal behaviors and improving our overall school culture.  Improving our school culture after all is part of the intention related to our positive behavior supports.  I am starting my researching on a small scale.  I am going to be looking at how feedback can effect the culture of my classroom. Students will take a survey to begin and give me a baseline for their current perceptions.  The questions are related to specific behaviors as well as overall feelings about our classroom environment.  Through out the research I will look at target behaviors and provide students will specific feedback.  I am hoping this feedback will increase these positive behaviors and therefore improve our overall classroom culture.

I am excited to get started and see what I can learn about behaviors in my own classroom.  We are looking at ways to improve the school-wide program for the upcoming school year.  I hope that this data may provide us with help in this area as well.
