Action Research Plan

Goal: Successfully Implement PLC's At Smithville High School
Action Steps	Person Responsible	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
Research	Wayne Childs Jason Hewitt	Started last spring. Will not stop till implementation	Internet, books	Collaboration of what we like from what we have read and talked to others about? What do we think will work at our school?
Create agendas	Wayne Childs Jason Hewitt	Want to start working on this in November	Several copies of what works for other school districts.	Is this agenda workable and applicable to all that will use it? Will it keep discussion focused and to the point?
Create meeting schedule	Wayne Childs Jason Hewitt	Will start working on a schedule when the creation of the 2011 master schedule is completed.	Master schedule, copies of what worked at other school districts.	Are the meeting times doable by all? Do they conflict with anything? Are we meeting enough to obtain the goals that we want? Are we meeting too much?
Creation of PLC groups	Wayne Childs Jason Hewitt	Will start looking at groupings when we have a completed master schedule so that teachers will have the greatest chances of teaching the same students.	Master schedule	Do the members of each PLC teach the same students? Will they work to help each other teach cross curricular?
Implementation of the PLC's	Wayne Childs Jason Hewitt	Fall 2011	1-4 Must be ready to go. We must create an inservice to explain why we are creating PLC's and how they are going to work.	Listen to feedback. What is working with each group? What needs to be changed? How is the agenda and what can be changed to make it better. Constant evaluation. Did scores rise on TAKS?
