Driving Question-Making Goals with Low Achieving Readers I am having a great time interviewing and meeting with my low phonics kids and making goals with them in regards to the data that is driving my project. I am really getting into the research component in my class with assessments and documentation to have comparable data to assess at different points in the research for the end of the course journal assignment. I have made up a reading survey that addresses strategy awareness and interest level for my students reading possibilities and read many books in line with education on becoming a better reading teacher. I have interviewed and talked with peers teachers and have gotten really fantastic help in my pursuit to being a better teacher when it comes to reading. I have to be honest here, I am really struggling to get to the research component of my journal articles. I have attempted a data collection table, but I am not sure how it is different from a research table? I am having trouble with finding articles, journals and publishing's to get the full articles without paying. I know we have had the librarian chat, but I am still trying to figure out the research component of it all. In regards to what authors of research seem to stand out, a few names keep popping up when I type in my key word search of 'goal setting with reading students'. One of the most prominent names is Steve Graham. He has been cited 37,655 times since 2013. I am also interested in getting to know BJ Zimmerman and DH Schunk. I don't think that I have seen the word "self-efficacy" more times in my life than in articles these researchers/authors have written in their journal articles. I am excited to see their findings and their suggestions as to what they did that worked well. As a struggling reader myself, it is fascinating to see all of the technological options out their now that didn't exist when we were kids. For goodness-sakes, when I went to college last they still had a card catalog as the primary system in their library. There were no online classes to take or ways to turn your homework in other than in person. I have had some huge learning curves, thus far, when it comes to the technology component and I am proud of how far I have come and where I am going to be by the end of this journey.
