What challenges do you foresee in implementing your action research study?
After meeting with the principal on my campus and my site mentor several challenges emerged.
1. Is anyone else in the district exploring options for portfolios?
2. What is the max size of documents and files allowed by the server space at Total Traffic Control?
3. How big will the launch group be?
4. Who will be good candidates for the target launch group?
5. What kinds of questions will be adequate and appropriate to determine readiness of staff and students?
How do you plan to address these challenges?
I have determined that the district has been planning at the district level to get in alignment with the TEA Project Share. Admin tech staff has been attending service center workshops to understand and prepare for district activation of the TEA project. This will help facilitate the importance of the task but the readiness and needs of the staff still need to be determined. The size of documents and files will be ascertained by using the tech support facilities of Total Traffic Control. The principal has met with me and we agreed that a systematic approach to presenting and launching the project is the best approach. He agreed that a small target group of students with advanced technical skills would be appropriate to help launch and test the project. He also suggested that a target group of staff be approached following the readiness survey to see if they would be part of a power user group to launch and assist with the follow-up project to design portfolio rubrics and guidelines for submissions.
