EDLD 5363 - Internship Activities & Action Research Project Update

     My campus-supervised Internship activities are coming along pretty nicely.  I actually have most of my hours completed, which amounts to about 125-130 hours.  I have learned much about our campus and district that I normally would not learn about or follow, such as how busses are scheduled, food service information and budget.  This particular assignment has pushed me to get out of my “comfort zone” and explore other areas of my campus that I would not normally investigate.  Sometimes as educators we get comfortable with what we know that we fail to explore outside our area of expertise to learn more about other things on our campus.  Doing this has made me realize the workload others have on their plate and it helped me become more diverse when I know what others are doing and are responsible for.  It makes me look at our campus at how it’s operated as a “whole.”
     My action research plan is coming along very slowly.  I am not receiving as much participation from my teachers as I thought I would.  I believe it is because they have so many other things going on especially with a new program our administrators implemented that communicating with me on my action research plan is not a priority for them.  Even though I had numerous teachers share their lesson plans with me in Eduphoria, many still are not using eInstruction for quick informal assessments or they are just not indicating it in their lesson plans.  With this being said, I did receive some data from some teachers who did utilize the eInstruction for informal assessments so I plan on using their information.
