In this week's readings and assignments, I became aware of how vast each research topic can become. As I looked into information on one topic, it led to another that led to another and another and so on. It is really difficult to keep focused on one direction for my inquiry. I have had to limit the scope of my research and narrow the exploration to be able to fully study the topic indepth. In meeting with my site supervisor, I reviewed several topics and all are relevant to our campus. I am going to be focusing on the current interventions for high school special education students for math to identify which ones are most effective in improving student learning and performance on state accountability instruments.
The purpose of this study is to explore our current interventions locally and determine their effectiveness and to investigate other districts' interventions to identify which ones may be implemented to improve performance on our local high school special education students in the area of math.
Yes, I agree that it is hard to focus on one topic. There are so many factors that overlap. By the way, I am impressed that you were able to put a survey question on your blog. I have much to learn. But hey, I am at least able to write on my own blog now so I'll just take it one step at a time. :-) I'm thinking a survey may still be several steps away. LOL!!
