    This article is the start to ongoing research in Lexington Public Schools. It was brought to the superintendents attention that there is an over representation of METCO students in the special-ed program, meaning there is a high number of METCO students requiring special help in one or more subjects. The study uses data from standardized testing, surveys, and past research. The article proposes quite a few different recommendations of where the research should go from here.

Improvement of Off-Task Behavior - 0 views

  •  
    This action research project's purpose was to decrease off-task behavior in elementary and high school students using Cooperative Learning Strategies. This method of keeping students focused was interesting to me because I typically think of students' off-task behavior as being distracted or chatting with peers, but this method actually promotes working with peers in groups. It teaches collaboration along with social skills in the process.

Conscious Discipline - 0 views

  •  
    This researcher asked the question, "What effect will Conscious Discipline behavioral teaching strategies have on reducing the incidence of the aggressive acts of young children in child care settings?". Conscious Discipline is a management system and emotional intelligence program that teaches educators and parents how to respond rather than react to life events. The researcher utilizes surveys, interviews, and direct observation in order to collect information. I liked the questioning that she did before beginning her intervention and that by the end of her research, she was able to answer all of them.
