  1. Your plan is nice and straightforward and I love that you are meeting with the students to gain their opinion on the program! Are there other programs that you feel might be better for these students should Fast Forward fail to really assist their learning? That might be an action point to add in later if you see that it's needed. All the best to you in your Action Research!

  2. I really like how your action plan is really self-explanatory. You did a really good job in organizing everything. Meeting with your peers and students is very beneficial for your project. I like the fact that your student population focuses on special populations.

  3. I agree with Michelle, very crisp. I think you'll have a great experience and your plan seems to be very organized so it should make for a good action research project! Way to go! Who will you be sharing your data/findings with? Also how will you select students to participate?
