Question is vague and/or not clearly aligned with focus of plan. The action is not related to researchable question. Little if any evidence of pre and/or post data. Some reference to how data was used to determine intervention and to measure success of intervention Does not adequately relate findings or reflect on their significance. Sections of Action Research Report are not clearly aligned or logically presented. Plan demonstrates reasonable process to identify needs, describes classroom context, and identifies issues from observations and other sources. Question is clearly stated, logical, and aligned with focus of plan. Logically connects action to researchable question to identified need and focus of plan. General summary of data collection process. Includes analysis of pre and post assessments to interpret effect of intervention(s) on desired outcome(s). There is a logical relationship between the question, the data and the findings. Clearly reports findings and reflects on their implication for practice. Examines next steps or new interventions that will be used in future. All steps of the Action Research Report are brought together in coherent and academically accepted form. Plan clearly documents several sources (described under 2) used to identify need, issues relate to current needs. Plan provides extensive rationale with documentation to explain need. Arguments for selecting issue show implications for teaching and learning. Focus question is supplemented Question is insightful that could with guiding questions to help potentially result in effective with steps for data collection and instruction that will be relevant to has important implications for other classroom researchers and student learning. teachers. Clearly documents additional research and sources used in choosing an action that reasonably supports the researchable question. Description of steps taken to ensure adequate and accurate Pre- and Post Data collection to answer question. Graphs and charts are shown. Evidence provides assurance that the findings are well supported by data. Reflects collaboration in collecting, analyzing and understanding the findings and their significance. Examines next steps or new interventions that will be used in future. The Action Research Report is written in a style that is of value to other classroom teachers. Extensively documents additional research and sources used in choosing an action and provides step by-step process for implementation that will answer researchable question. Strong connections are made between the research question and the adequacy, accuracy and amount of data collected. Graphs and charts are easy to read. Analysis explains why the interpretation selected was chosen over other possibilities. Reflects a) collaboration and inquiry developing effective instruction for particular groups of students and b) a process for sharing lessons learned with colleagues within larger school community. The Action Research Report is written in a style that supports scholarship and may merit academic review. NOTE: You must receive an average of 3 or 4 on the rubric. The report rubric is designed so that ALL COMPONENTS of the professional development used in EnVOY MPS-U Course Requirements (the 12 hours of training (which includes the rationale and strategies, pre-intervention data, intervention selected from EnVOY strategies), the implementation of the plan (peer coaching, expert coaching, data collection and group meetings to process information) and results of intervention-future plans) are included in the final report. What Worked? 1, 700 educators joined the Professional Pay Plan Educators who might not normally participate in professional development have been interested in attending. A Professional Pay Steering Committee was formed to support the implementation of the plan through discussion, idea sharing, reflection. This group meets once a month prior to a monthly meeting with the interim superintendent. Supports the District Improvement Agenda (literacy, math, diversity classroom/behavior management, and attendance). 16
