Implementing the Instructional Improvement Cycle Toolkit: Teacher research reflections (REL Central)

The Instructional Improvement Cycle Toolkit guides teachers through the process of selecting, testing, and adjusting instructional strategies. The toolkit was created in collaboration with teachers from York Public Schools in York, Nebraska. In the spring semester of 2015, over 20 York Public School teachers implemented individual action research studies utilizing the Instructional Improvement Cycle tool. Three of these teachers offered to share their experiences and to serve as models for the implementation of the toolkit. This video details their experiences selecting and testing a strategy, collecting student data, using the Excel analysis tool to determine baseline equivalence and effect size and confidence in the effect size, and then reflecting on their results to adjust the own instruction.
