Action Research Project Change

My original action research project was to compare gains of student achievement scores between students enrolled in Adult Literacy courses to students dual enrolled in Adult Literacy and Career and Technology Education (CTE) courses to find out if CTE courses help increase student achievement test scores. I had to change my action research plan and topic. My site mentor helped me decide on a new project topic. My new action research topic is to determine if teacher reluctance and perspectives toward technology integration can be changed. I have been focusing heavily on helping change their reluctant mindsets and perspectives against technology integration by providing individualized training, and purchasing resources to create teach and reteach lessons. I hope my efforts of working collaboratively with teachers to create new student centered instructional strategies utilizing technology resources will help them experience a reduction in their time at the chalkboard, utilize technology for lessons, and improve student test scores.
