Plotting the Steps

In this study I am going to evaluate a school-community-parent program titled Education is Freedom. The purpose of the program is to determine whast should occur in order for the program to better prepare students for college and the workforce.

The plan:

August: In August I will use the EIF handbook to obtain the current goals, policies, and procedures fo the program. I will also survery stakeholders and set new goals for the program that will be tested on the sample group.

September: In September, I will be able to clearly define the roles and function of an school-community based program based on data, articles, adn books. This will include an analysis of the current program and the comparing of the current EIF program with other programs of its kind.

October: October will be spent on interpreting data and forming potential changes to the program that will help reach the goals of the program.

November: November will be the conclusion of the test on the sample group. Student portfolios will be examined and reviewed for college acceptance applications, college entrance test scores, and job applications.

December: In December, I will share the action research plan and program with school administrators, staff members, EIF representatives, and project team. The group will provide feedback.
