During my time in the educational leadership program I have found and area to build an action research paper to help my school improve in the area of inclusion and it’s effectiveness. I have researched the results of student performance at our school by tracking a certain group of students.  These students were chosen to track their performance because they were in inclusion classes and a few years earlier were not involved because inclusion was not yet available. While tracking these students I used there bench mark and state scores to evaluate how whether or not they we’re improving.  I sent out letters to other schools within our district to ask permission to use data from groups that they have tracked for the same purpose. I have received data and have begun to compare the results as well as look at the other schools ways of implementing inclusion and their processes. During the last few months I have discussed with special services our processes at our school and how these students are being tracked what has been learned from results from previous group studies.  I have also had meetings with administrators over the processes that have been used for inclusion over the years at our school.  Our administrators on all campuses all work with inclusion in the same way in the classroom.  There are inclusion teachers that float from room to room rather than having a teacher per subject area. I have found that this may not be the most beneficial as will be indicated in my action research paper. I have discussed with our administrators ways to improve the inclusion process at our school so that students are getting the most from the inclusions as possible.  I have also spoke to special services from a couple different schools at this point to better understand how they choose their inclusions teachers for their classes.   I am currently compiling these findings and organizing these facts and ideas for my action research.
