Based on walk-through observations from administrators ELA/Science teachers are not utilizing eInstruction for informal assessments in their classrooms.	Administrators and Cynthia Butler	December 2012	Eduphoria data	Interventions needed to raise eInstruction usage for ELA/Science classrooms.
Inform 9th and 10th grade ELA and Science teachers about my Action Research Plan and request them to share their lesson plans with me in Eduphoria.	Cynthia Butler and ELA/Science Teachers	December 2012 - January 2013	Eduphoria	Will log into Eduphoria and see a list of ELA and Science teachers that have shared their lesson plans with me.
Beginning of the week I will check ELA and Science teachers’ lesson plans and record how many teachers have planned to use eInstruction in the same week.	Cynthia Butler	January 2013 – December 2013	Eduphoria and Excel	Will note the number of teachers who indicated they will use eInstruction that week in an Excel workbook.
Will visit those teachers’ classrooms who indicated they would utilize eInstruction that week.	Cynthia Butler	January 2013 – December 2013	Excel	Record those teachers who actually used eInstruction that week in an Excel workbook and analyze the data.
While visiting those classrooms I will note how they utilized eInstruction – did they use it for an informal assessment with descriptive feedback?	Cynthia Butler	January 2013 – December 2013	Excel	Are they actually using eInstruction as informal assessments with descriptive feedback?
Meet with those teachers who did not use eInstruction in their lessons that week who indicated they were in their lesson plans.	Cynthia Butler and ELA/Science Teachers	January 2013 – December 2013	Excel	Discover why they did not use eInstruction that week and record findings.
