Further developments

Good evening Ms. Giles and peers,

I have started collecting data related to my SS topic. I have also found that there seems to be two diffrent points of view concerning the way students behave at school and the consequences of this conduct. However, this came out in an iformal conversation with one of my colaborator for my SS at my receiving institution. 

This has provided me with the oportunuty to conduct some interviews and surveys with teachers and authorities in order to reach a better understanding of what is going on. I shall be able to begin with interviews and surveys as soon as I have the principal's authoritation and the teachers' as well.

The information obtained from these interview and surveys might help fill in the gaps between teachers and authorities cencernign the students' behavior and provide possible adjustments to the school's rules.

I will post any other developments.

Thank you for reading.

ACTION PLAN

 

Statement of Goal(s) and Objectives:

Goal: Analyze the students’ behaviour in the school environment. Objectives: Identify “High Risk” behaviour Provide attendance and punctuality data Provide suspension/expulsion rate

IMPLEMENTATION				EVALUATION
What needs to be done?	By whom?	When?	What resources (human and material) are needed?	What evidence indicates progress?	How and when will that evidence be collected?
Step 1 Collect students’ behaviour reports.	Social server	At the end of the each week	Human resources:  ØSenior high school prefect Ø  Senior high school co-principal Ø  Teachers Materials: Ø  School’s records Ø  Teachers’ records	Ø  Administrative and teaching staff records	How: Ø  By studying the data provided by the school administration and teachers When: Ø  At the end of the each week
Step 2 Gather information (attendance and punctuality) from the school administration and teachers	Social server	At the end of the each week	Human resources: Ø  Senior high school prefect Ø  Senior high school co-principal Ø  Teachers Materials: Ø  School’s students’  records	Ø  Figures based on the school and teachers’ records	How: Ø  By studying the data provided by the school administration and teachers When: Ø  At the end of the each week
Step 3 Gather information (suspension and expulsion) from the school administration	Social server	At the end of the each week	Human resources: Ø  Senior high school prefect Ø  Senior high school co-principal Ø  Teachers Materials: Ø  School’s students’  records Ø  Teachers’ records	Ø  Administrative and teaching staff records	How: Ø  By studying the data provided by the school administration and teachers When: Ø  At the end of each week

The core of my project is the students’ behavior in the school climate. I decided to collect data at the end of each week related to the areas of ‘students’ behavior reports’, ‘suspension and expulsion rate’ and ‘attendance and punctuality rate’. I considered a weekly basis because there are several groups with several students, and also different classes and teachers in my receiving institution. This might generate enough data to process. As for the human resources and materials, I believe that there will not be mayor difficulties. Documents such as attendance lists, from teachers, and the office records of behavior reports, and suspension and expulsion shall not be difficult to retrieve. 

I infer that this project has to do a lot with statistics. It occurs to me that the data generated might highlight some areas for consideration in certain rules concerning attendance and behavior. Still, I shall not allow my perspective to influence the data. Let us see what the data itself has to show.

Thank you for reading. I look forward to reading yours comments.

Yours,

Sergio
