Action Research Plan

GOAL: To develop a universal behavior initiative via committee that will be employed on the campus in the coming year. The plan will be approved by the SBDM committee and the team leaders, and will reflect the cyclical nature of action research by taking action and offering time for changes and reflection, which will lead to the next action.
