Abstract

Action research is a process wherein individuals study current literature regarding a subject, and then develop specific actions that can be taken to improve performance. In a MAT program, this research is designed to improve teaching strategies for novice educators. This Action Research Project is centered around my desire to increase student agency in secondary English Language Arts classrooms. Specifically, it focuses on how I can use differentiation, scaffolding, and other instructional strategies to motivate and engage students in the curriculum. As this is an Action Research Project, I am the main participant, and this project is designed to improve my own teaching through specific research and action.
