Data Analysis
The chart to the right shows an example of one student's running record data throughout the action plan. Initially, Student T had a low percentage of accuracy while reading. As the student's reading level increased over the course of the action plan, the accuracy percentage increased also. This is another example of Core Proposition 3, as I managed and monitored this student's learning through running records to track reading growth.

Reading Interest Inventory
Students participated in a pre- and post-reading interest survey, which asked questions on overall feelings towards academic and personal reading. The average score on the pre-survey was 75%. The average score on the post-survey was 87%. This data indicates that the overall positive feelings about both academic and personal reading increased by approximately 12% from the start of the action plan to the conclusion. The importance of this survey supports Core Proposition 1, as I am committed to students and their learning, both as personal interest in the subject of reading and of the growth in reading abilities. By understanding the students and their interests, I was able to better pick the books and activities for each lesson.
This graph breaks down the 10 target students and compares each student's overall feelings about reading before the action plan and after. 9 out of 10 students saw positive growth from the pre- to post-survey results. The data lead me to believe that students felt more comfortable with and more interested in reading after more exposure to quality guided reading groups.
