Action Research Plan



Charleas Wilkerson’s Action Research Plan

School Vision: The mission of the Beaumont Independent School District, as the unifying force of the community, is to guarantee that our graduates possess the necessary skills,
values and knowledge to compete successfully as productive citizens in a diverse
global society through an educational system characterized by:
Expectation of SUCCESS for each person;
Optimum application of TECHNOLOGY;
An APPRECIATION of various cultures;
Full INVOLVEMENT of parents, teachers and the community;
RESPECT and CARE for each other.
Goal: My action research topic is, “How to improve the overall reading scores for students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels?”  The goal is to look deeper into the different teaching strategies and learn what techniques are being utilized.
