One issue that my school has been facing this school year is tardiness. A large percentage of students are coming into school thirty minutes to an hour late day. I think that action research would be beneficial to use in exploring this problem, as I am interested in how it is affecting the student's academics, the classroom climate when a student walks in late, the total amount of time missed, and ways that can be used to make up for the missed time. If students are consistently coming in late and are missing the first hour of the school day, they could potentially miss the phonics time block each day. This would mean that they are not gaining any phonics background and this is a critical part of building foundational skills for elementary students. I think that action research would be the best way to find a solution to this problem, as with action research "you are working under the assumption that your group, whether patients, customers, or students, remains similar year to year" (Duesbery & Twyman, 2020). Creating a plan for the percentage of students that are tardy to school each day can help future groups of students, which is why action research is the best way to find the solution to this issue. one positive comment and a
