Week 2 Reflection

After identifying a major need in our English-Language Learners population, I knew I wanted to do an action research project that would target their needs and help this group of students to be successful. I spoke to my principal who was excited about my area of interest. My action research topic will be: How do student-created vocabulary flashcards increase the passing rate of ELLs on the state exam?
I'm transitioning between campuses right now. I will be working in the same district but on a different campus. The campus I will work on beginning this year has over 80% population of ELLs. I am a little bit worried that such a big number will make my research harder to manage. Regardless, if the strategy works, it will mean that many more students are experiencing success.
