Progress.....

 I am currently towards the end of my Action Research Project, I have been following my students return to their campuses since Januray of this year.  There has been an interesting variety in how the students have done both with their academic and social adjustments.  I have been able to have regular meetings with the counselors, administrators, and teachers in order to remain up to date on what is going on at the campus.  One of my students, K.G., a kindergartner that was on homebound due to treatment from Leukemia has tranisitioned back to school seamlessly, she has done fabulous both academically and socially.  My second student, G.C., a 6^th grade student with Osteosarcoma, has had a very difficult tranisition back to school.  We have had multiple meetings in order to come up with interventions, counseling sessions, accommodations, and other things in order to help support him as much as possible to ensure his success in school.  My third student, D.D., a sophomore that was diagnosed with severe depression has had somewhat of a bumpy transition but with a lot of work with her counselor and teachers we have been able to make some positive changes to improve her situation at school.  Her grades have drastically improved and her overall demeanor has changed from when I first met her at the beginning of this school year.  I have remained in constant contact not only with the different campuses where my students attend but also with my studnets and their parents.  We have all together been monitoring their progress, noting any difficulties and struggles and trying to make the appropriate adjustments to their plans to help them along.  We are at the point in the year when state testing is coming up quick, once we receive results from the testing I will sit down with the data from the tests, along with all of my other observations, notes, and other documentation to see the kind of progress that my students have made since their transition back to their campuses.
