Reflecting on listening to and watching Dr. Chargois; he was focused on improving the different campuses. He wanted to make sure that not only the students continued to learn, but that the teachers and administration did as well. He felt that it was important that the teachers be taught how to use data, how to conduct their own local research so that they were accountable for all of the students. He stressed that in today’s educational climate that you couldn’t be satisfied with improving a few students; that you had to bring everyone up to standard (Chargois).
Dr. Lewis spoke a lot on using data from
their research to improve the instruction.
He wanted to improve the instruction in various ways, but focused on the
instructional strategies based on what the data showed. He was big into having research conducted at
all levels in the district, all the way from administration to the campus down
to the individual students. While he
knew that all teachers hadn’t had formal action research instruction, they had
been shown in PD and they knew what they were looking for in data. He also stressed that they should look at
other research and see how it compares to their schools and that the data has
to be practical (Lewis).
