Before I could move forward with planning my professional development for my action research project, my site supervisor and I had some decisions to make. We combed through the 3rd grade data one more time while looking at the released STAAR test. We also reviewed the literature research that I had performed to this point. After much debate and discussion, we made some decisions about what strategies we would have the 3rd grade teachers focus on implementing to impact the target TEKS we had identified. To determine if adaptations in teaching strategies and interventions improve student performance on 3rd grade math readiness standards, we decided that we would focus attention on the following three strategies:
1. research-based practices for teaching fractions,
2. dedicated intervention time for mathematics during the instructional day, and
3. direct teaching of test taking strategies related to multiple choice formats.
