The purpose of my action plan is to compare/contrast AR (Pine Bluff School District) 7th grade Science Curriculum Alignment and pacing guide to other states' alignment curriculum alignment and look at benchmark test scores over the past 3 years and compare and contrast these 2 components in closing the achievement gap.


I expect to collect as evidence 7th grade curriculum alignments and pacing guides from other states as well as benchmark scores for the years of 2006, 2007 and 2008. I will also design a questionnaire for 7th grade teachers in my district to discover how they are using the curriculum alignment and pacing guides to increase student achievement.


I hope to share my entire results with the teachers in my building and hopefully my results will motivate them to do some action research on the curriculum and pacing guides that they are using in their various subject areas.]]>

My Back To School Meeting at Oak Grove High School was extremely positive. I did a half day workshop on Jon Gordon's book,The Energy Bus. I also brought in Dr. Richard Cash to do an all day workshop on Differentiated Instruction. Both sessions received excellent evaluations. I started the year with The Energy Bus because we are in SI Yr 7 and I felt like we needed a positive message prior to starting our work.
