I realized I am far behind on the technology available for classrooms. I learned more about flipping classrooms, a variety of Web 2.0 tools, Google docs, and Google drive. I found a large variety of resources to use in my classroom and as an administrator. All of the newly acquired information is a little overwhelming right now. I plan on implementing at least one of the new things that I learned by the end of school.

I have over half of my hours completed but I’m behind on documenting. I will need to use Spring Break to catch up on my documentation. I realize that I have too much going on with my current job assignment, keeping up with my family and all of their activities, my college work, and my internship activities. I love every minute of it but struggling to keep up at times.

  

Action Research:

I want to learn what the students know about choosing classes that interest them or are on their career path. I would like a list of the CTE choices available for all teachers, counselors, administrators, and students along with their parents. The survey will be designed so I can determine our strengths and weaknesses of the current system. We can build on our strengths and develop a plan to improve our weaknesses.

Participation rate for completing the surveys was at 95%.

I have sent out a survey and determined 60% of the students are unaware of what CTE courses or available ones to them. The other 40% are aware of some of the classes but did not realize all of them. Normally, if they were Ag people then they were aware of Ag CTE classes only. If they were computer people, then they were aware of the computer CTE courses only. Our teachers are unaware of all the possibilities that our students have. I am still working on compiling a list of possible CTE classes that our students would like to have. I have not been able to meet with the CTE coordinator since the surveys have been returned to finish compiling all of the data.
