AP Statistics Action Research Report 2008-09

This document was prepared by Ron Gathro, teacher at Putnam Voc-Tech High School in Springfield, MA. Ron collected data all year on every unit in his AP Statistics course. In 2007-08, Ron did not use CE. During 2008-09 Ron used multiple Content Enhancement routines and the same unit tests. This is a great report by Ron. He gave permission to post this report, but I am also inviting Ron to join the Ning. Hopefully he will be willing to answer questions and make additional comments about his work. Ron is working toward his certification as a SIM Content Enhancement Professional Developer through KU-CRL. Ron is also a teacher in a school that is part of the Striving Readers' Initiative in Springfield and Chicopee School Districts in western Massachusetts.

Impressive increases in average scores and highest scores and decreases in the range and standard deviation. It presents some evidence that it made an impact for those students.
Thanks for sharing. It encourages me to put together a little study to collect data on some of my planned initiatives.
