Action Research EDLD5301 Week Three Reflection

This week got away from me, but I was able to regroup and complete the assignments. I am fortunate in that all initiatives at the college must follow a specific protocol that includes evaluation, both formative and summative. I am also fortunate to have researchers available to conduct and analyze both the qualitative and quantitative data. 

Graduation rate is difficult because our headcount continue to increase dramatically, but we can't seem to move the needle when is comes to the rate. I am hoping as a result of being laser focused on the IPEDS cohorts we will move the needle.  We have focused on at risk students for so long, it is refreshing to focus on students who are doing the "right thing." ...sounds very similar to Raymond Padilla's asset model.
