Updated on Action Research Project

Time management has been a struggle already now that school has started.  Juggling my responsibilities as chemistry team leader, a coach, my district’s expectations, master’s coursework, and my own classroom has kept me from working on my Internship Plan and Action Research Project.  As far as my action research project, I have discussed with many teachers on their best practices for obtaining missing assignments and make-up tests in a timely manner.  This summer, I attended Flipped Classroom training and will be implementing these videos into my classroom during the spring term.  I have also signed up to use a free online reminder service called www.Remind101.com, which can send out text messages to students reminding them to study for tests or when assignments are due.  The end of the grading period is October 5.  At that time, I will be able to pull reports identify frequently absent students and compare their grades.  I still have a long way to go, and I hope that time will no longer be an issue once school is in full swing.
