3 Possible Action Research Topics

I haven't decided which one of these to pursue. All three are of interest so I know that I'll be engaged and passionate about whichever one I select.

1
. Topic: Student mentor program
Purpose:
An evaluation of this program's effect on student performance(attendance,class, formal assessments,tutoring) will be conducted.
Significance: This research will benefit students, teachers, administion, and the mentors. Effectiveness will be noted and improvements conducted as necessary.


2. Topic:Supplemental literacy programs (Compass Lab and/or Reading Renaissance) on student performance(target pop.- 10th grade ELL).
Purpose:
Both programs' influence on students' literacy will be evaluated. Both programs are in their second year of implementation at our campus.
Significance: This research will benefit the following stakeholders: Students, Program facilitators, administration, teachers, District supervisors and directors

3. What is the effect of the new tardy system on student promptness/maximizing class instruction, and does it provide a deterring effect?
Purpose:
The program's effectiveness in increasing student promptness,meximizing learning time, and deterring students from repetitive infractions will be assessed.
Significance: This evaluation will benefit the following: Administration, teachers, students, parents
