Taking The Next Step

The meeting with my site supervisor was very effective. My site supervisor is the assistant principal in charge of attendance at our campus so she was thrilled with my interest in doing action research on improving our average daily attendance percentage. We have been communicating back and forth over the summer and I feel like she values my suggestions and truly feels that my action plan will make a difference. I have helped her prepare documents that will be used in upcoming presentations and she has already warned me to be ready to present in case she is needed in two places at one time. We touched on a few things that we might consider implementing or refining at our campus and I think at our next meeting we will have our five items decided and ready to plan out fully. At our most recent meeting I was able to see how planning one thing can actually entail piecing together the loose ends of other items before you are ready to move on. I expressed to her how important it is for me to achieve the buy in from others so she sent an email and invited members of our Attendance Advisor team to attend a morning planning session on campus tomorrow. My action research is already becoming an incredibly enlightening experience and its only just began. My action research remains the same and my site supervisor has been involved since early on so she did not see any changes that she felt needed to be made.
