Through this DLL program, I have been able to begin and refine my research innovation plan on blended learning. In courses 5305, 5304, 5314 and 5389, I achieved much of Stages 1. To limit my topic for this course, it was a bit difficult. I want to determine how teachers can have a greater impact on the development of college and career readiness skills. I hypothesize that AVID strategies used with blended learning models could be a great supplement to professional learning (PL). With that being said, I narrowed down my overarching topic to effective PL. This will help me study various methods of PL to see what works best and determine what needs to be transformed on my campus to benefit the teachers and students. Moving into Stage 2 proved to be the most difficult for me. I’ve considered using surveys, academic data results, and feedback from Culture Walks and interviews to collect my data. Some potential hurdles will be getting honest feedback from participants. Preparing an action research plan helped me better define what data I wanted to collect and the measurement instruments I could use to best analyze the data. Stage 3 was easier to define since I had previously considered an alternative professional learning plan to introduce Blended Learning to our staff. I had to adjust some of the details to this updated and narrowed down plan. Stage 4, in my opinion, was the easiest to define and maybe the easiest stage for me to carry out. I am excited to carry out this action research plan to help me better suite my innovation plan to the needs of my campus.
