Julie, your action research plan is comprehensive and well thought of. Thanks for you suggestion about including a guide or checklist to follow during teacher observations. The think that Bloom's Taxonomy is appropriate for the research topic we have chosen. Have you considered Marzano's High Yield Strategies? I think that they can help teachers choose activities that yield the greatest amount of rigor. Also, I think that allowing teacher to evaluate activities and increase their complexity is an excellent idea. I think that I would definitely consider this activity during staff development. Thanks again for your recommendations. Kathy
