  2. PDSA Cycle • Plan – Do – Study – Act (PDSA) Cycle guides the continuous improvement process for the action research team

  3. Goal #1 for QAR • Fulfill the requirements of QAR course with Nance Wilson (University of Florida).

  4. Plan – Define the System • Read “Enhancing Comprehension and Test-taking Across Grades and Content Areas” article with half-page written response. • Attend 3 QAR follow-up sessions in Iowa City. • Teach 3 QAR lessons and write up lesson plans. • Give pre-test and post-test to core group of students (White) • Complete homework for future follow-up sessions.

  5. Plan – Assess Current Situation • Continuing our QAR training as teachers: • Attending training sessions • Creating lesson plans within curriculum • Analyzing reading materials • Building our own understanding of QAR

  6. Plan – Analyze Causes • Not enough lessons within curriculum that incorporate higher-order thinking skills • Not enough lessons within curriculum that incorporate reading strategies to improve comprehension and critical thinking

  7. Plan – Analyze Causes • Lack of intrinsic motivation for the students • Many students struggle with reading • Lack of time to work with the non-proficient students on an individual basis • Lack of QAR between middle and high school

  8. Do – Try Out Improvement Theory • Not to this phase yet. • Final training session with Nance Wilson, May 11, 2006 • Begin coordination with other departments Fall 2006 • END OF QAR SLIDES

  9. Do – Try Out Improvement Theory • Incorporation of lessons that utilize experimental design and analysis of data • Every science teacher will require one standard lab report each term. • A grading rubric will be designed and used by all science teachers. • Student progress will be monitored over the course of a year and over the course of his entire science career.

  10. Study – Study the Results • The ITED is the only measurement device currently in place • In 2004, 12% of Juniors were non-proficient on the science subtest of the ITED, compared to 11.6% in 2005. • The 2005 juniors have not been part of the Science Success classes.

  11. Study – Study the Results • Still in the Plan/Do parts of the cycle for the other ideas.

  12. Act – Standardize Improvement • Not to this point in the cycle yet.
