November 30, 2010

The area I want to work on before the meeting, and at the meeting is...
I hope to finish compiling the second round of surveys I collected from my students. I also hope to start building a theoretical framework for my inquiry. I think that Pedro Noguera's The Trouble with Black Boys will help me gain perspective on the work that I have been doing. I am looking at individual experiences, but I don't want to loose sight of the larger issue of institutional racism and I want to contextualize the data with this in mind.

What I am thinking right now about this aspect of my inquiry is...
I feel deeply passionate about the work that I am engaged in. Once I compare the second round of survey answers to the first sample I hope to uncover more about how students feel discipline is dealt with at my site. I think that the next step will have to be asking my students about some of what I uncover to see how I can turn the focus onto student outcomes.
