Action research part 2

I have been working on an action research plan that will compare data to show the best way to teach a bilingual child. So far I have gone through massive amounts of data that shows test scores and reading comprehension levels. I have been comparing different styles of bilingual programs and interviewing different principals.I have been getting their perspectives of how their program are effective or ineffective. This data is really an eye opening perspective of how important it is to understand how difficult it is for a bilingual child to have a substantial education. Many time they enter a different program each time they change school. I truly believe these children need and deserve a program that is the same no matter what school they attend.My goal is to be able to show data that proves which program will be the best way to teach the bilingual child.
