Action Research Plan

SCHOOL VISION: NFHS has a strong philosophy for continuous improvement. The faculty and staff are committed to supporting students to continuously improve their academic, social, and personal skills. Furthermore, the campus strives to continuously improve its performance on district and state assessments, as well as, academic and athletic competitions.

GOAL: Encourage student involvement in extra-curricular activities to improve attendance rates.

ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES:

  • Teacher encouragement for student involvement
  • Yearly event during school hours to showcase all activities offered on campus
  • Faculty and staff support of all organizations (Ex: attending a contest or sporting event)

RESOURCES AND RESEARCH TOOLS NEEDED FOR DATA GATHERING:

  • Attendance records
  • Student enrollment information by course number
  • Cool Ice
  • Edugence
  • Student interviews
  • Student surveys

TIMELINE:

Research will be complete before the end of the 2011-2012 school year. Findings will be delivered to administrators at this time with suggestions on implementing activities to improve student attendance beginning with the 2012-2013 school year.

PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

ALL faculty and staff are responsible, but we may have a team in place to assist staff which could include:

  • One lead administrator
  • Student Activities Director

PROCESS FOR MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS:

  • Attendance reports
  • Six week grades
  • Court occurrences

    I feel this is a pretty good action research topic. I feel that after school activities definately motivates the students to be leaders of the school and promotes positive behavior and grades. I think you are on the right track!

    I am a huge believer in student involvement in extra-curricular activities as this will have many favorable outcomes for students. These students will not only have better attendance, but will also do better in school and more than likely be better behaved as many times their ability to participate in these activities can be taken away if they do not take care of business. Wish you the best of luck in your study and hope that you are able to either add these additional components to your current study or look at these other factors in your future action research.
