What My Research Suggests

From looking at my data and reflecting on the overall process, I have learned that providing specific feedback to students on their behavior increases to positive classroom culture of a classroom.  Some changes were greater than others but in all areas of the survey given to my students, there was an increase in a positive direction in relation to how they felt about classroom expectations, bullying, and how they were treated by their peers.  There was obviously a few bumps in the road.  I have a very large class and it made collecting data a little more challenging.  I think that if I had a smaller class I may have made my data collection even more specific. At this point it was broad classroom data collection (number of students that clipped up or down, overall survey responses).  I also think that it would have been interesting to collect data from specific students.  At this point I gave an anonymous survey.  I do think it would have been interesting to see which students had what perceptions and if their behavior truly reflected the answers they provided about their perception of their own behavior.  Overall this was a great learning experiences and I know I have information that will help me as I plan for next year.  Hopefully it will help others as well!
