My action research plan focuses on our campus
cafeteria and its environment. The students’ behavior and noise level at times
seems out of control. At our campus we have had 3 principals in 5 years. In
those 5 fives we have had rules and procedures change based on the leadership
styles of the current principal. The problem is that with these changes our
student’s behavior has not been consistent. Student’s need consistency, and
unless a procedure change is made clear to all staff and the new rules are followed
by all, implementation of any change will not be effective. These changes are
evident in our current student’s behavior in the cafeteria.
Since I have just begun the plan, I am still
reading over literature, scheduling interviews with classroom teachers on the
campus, and soon will be analyzing the data from the field notes and surveys. Over
summer vacation, I will begin to plot out the future aspects of my research
plan. When school begins in August I will began to gather evidence from my data
to formulate wondering questions and preparing to interview students on
motivational strategies that can be implemented in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria should be a place where students have
the opportunity to eat and enjoy their lunch. Proper procedures, rules and
expectations should be followed and need to be consistent in order for the
environment to be safe and enjoyable. I hope that through this research I can
provide the campus with valuable and viable information to use in improving our
campus cafeteria.
