Review of AR’s Purpose in EETT
• To document the effects of EETT funding on student learning
• To include teachers’ voices in statewide report to legislature
• To support teachers as they systematically & intentionally study their laptop use

AR Process
• Identify the AR Inquiry
• AR Context
• Data Collection
• Data Analysis
• Implications & Actions

Identify the AR Inquiry
• Keep student achievement at the forefront– Participants (i.e. 5th graders, low achieving 3rd
graders, etc.)– Knowledge, skill or ability to be measured (i.e.
science content, phonemic awareness, social skills, etc.)
– Intervention (i.e. collaborative learning strategies, reading buddies, lab simulations, etc.)

Identify the AR inquiry
• Examples– How does the use of simulations within a
1:1 environment influence low achieving 5th grade students’ mathematics learning during a unit on fractions ?

AR Context
• Content area
• Grade level
• Goals for inquiry
• Targeted students
• Type of school
• Etc

Data Collection
• Possible strategies; use multiple when possible-Test scores -Rubrics-Student artifacts -Journals-Anecdotal records -Informal interviews-Focus groups -Reflective journals-Fieldnotes -Literature

Data Collection
• Should be a part of rather than apart from classroom practices
• Create a time line to help keep the inquiry on track and ensure feasibility

Data Analysis
• Most challenging part of process• Need to mesh data & gut reactions• Individual teacher decisions
![Page 10: EETT AR Mentors: Getting Started August 2008. 2 Review of AR’s Purpose in EETT To document the effects of EETT funding on student learning To include](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7c108/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Data Analysis
• Read and reread data to get an idea of what’s there
• Organize data in a logical way– Chronologically, by student, by strategies, by
class, etc.
• Interpret data; support findings with artifact

Where should you be right now?
• Determine how many AR mentors you will need and whether you want us to provide them.
• Make a plan for running AR in your district (consider running 2 phases)
![Page 21: EETT AR Mentors: Getting Started August 2008. 2 Review of AR’s Purpose in EETT To document the effects of EETT funding on student learning To include](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7c108/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Where should you be right now?
• Make initial contact with teachers at your earliest convenience
• Be encouraging; the process is pretty straightforward but the majority of teachers end up really enjoying it

What are we doing right now?
• Working with FCIT to get the online tool on a stable and secure server.
• Collecting information from each district regarding EETT participants.
