I finally was able to settle on a research topic for my action research project that I will conduct during my 18 mo internship in educational leadership. I went back and forth on two topics, but came to a consensus with my site mentor and we both agreed that this topic would benefit me because it would provide a great learning experience, and it would also benefit our school district if I could provide a simple solution to a yearly problem that occurs with our student-athletes.
Each year that I have been teaching and coaching I have come across several students that take care of business, academically, during their sport's season, but then turn into "slackers" as soon as their season is over. My plan is to study 40 high school male and females students in the 10th and 11th grades to see if I can put my thumb on some possible reasons for this, and even provide some insight to our teachers and coaches so we can possibly motivate these student-athletes to perform closer to the highest potential, academically, regardless of the season!
I will attach the my action research plan to this blog as soon as I figure out how...
