AR Project Summary

Due to this being a new start of the school year, I am still evaluating my students, in terms of struggling students. It actually appears that I have a strong bunch of kids. I am actually considering changing my action research plan, which is TBA. I do have some strong, intelligent, and dedicated pre-ap students that I feel will be great peer-tutors, when the time is necessary. I still would like to obtain 5 willing Pre-AP students to help me with my action research. By the end of the six weeks I will put out flyers and setup interviews for those that are willing to be peer tutors, to struggling students. Because of this class, I can see the type of community partnerships that can be formed with parents and me. Getting parents involved on both sides (peer tutors and struggling students) can quite close the gap of student achievement. The involvement of parents can carry over to the household, in which parents can quite possibly help their child be successful in the class room and at home. I still plan on having my pre-ap students and a struggling students be partnered up and be a mentor and quite possibly a friend.  

When it comes to struggling students, I am not looking for any specific student; I may possibly give an open invitation to all my students in all my classes that would like the extra help. Of course they may require more volunteers from my pre-ap students, therefore, I know I am going to have to provide some extra incentives form the peer tutors.
