An active inquiry I will engage in.

This week I have looked at action research projects that I can follow through on that would benefit myself and my colleauges.  I have chosen my topic to be an active inquiry that will answer the question:  How does the implementation of a highly engaging classroom prepare students to meet the demands of the impending State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness Tests (STAAR Tests) / End of Course Exams?  The significance is teachers will use their ability to create highly engaging classrooms to cover the require material and prepare students for success on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness(STAAR) tests by correctly addressing the appropriate Readiness Standards, Supporting Standards and Career and College Readiness Standards.  I have no doubt that I will further clarify exactly how to do this in the weeks to come as I have already learned so much.  I can honestly say that I am excited to be taking this journey and I do believe this will be beneficial to me and my fellow teachers.
