  1. Great looking action research plan. Looks like this could be a on going action plan. As student needs change, the classroom system will need to change as well.

  2. I am really interest in your results. I am also in special education and it seems like sometimes we just try to teach the same way general edcuation does but with less success and more repetition that the students didnt get the first time. I like the variety in all the subjects. I will be following you.

  3. WOW this seems like a great topic for your action research, I know I struggle with this in math. So many of my special ed students are so much lower than my other 5th grade students. I think your findings will be very beneficial.
    Good Luck
    Please post to my blog

  4. I think your action research plan will prove to be very beneficial especially since you are working with sped on improving TAKS scores. I assume numerous people will be interested in finding your results. I enjoy seeing that students will be using clickers.....I feel that using those are great instant feedback for teachers.
