I have really been overwhelmed, yet excited about this project. There are a great deal of different topics one could choose to inquire about. In general there are nine areas that principal inquiries fall under. They are staff development, curriculum development, individual teacher(s), individual student(s), school community/culture, leadership, management, school performance and social justice. My action research falls into two areas. One of those being individual students and the other is school climate. We will be addressing the tardy policy and tardy issues in order to change student behavior, thereby changing the culture on campus. One of the items we have planned is a week long, class by class, set of lesson plans on the importance of being on time and time management. These lessons will be taught across the entire school on all grade levels.
If anyone has good resources that would help me in this endeavor, please feel free to post them!
We have a system in my school called the tardy sweep. It is a software program that has to be purchased that was created for my campus. You might want to look at it to get ideas on how to manage tardies.
