I am definitely moving forward with the concept of cross-curricular instruction and planning. To narrow this broad area of research, I have decided to take action using my ESL students and using only core subjects. There will be 4 core teachers working on our instruction team, one from Science, one from History, one from Math, and one from Reading. We will meet twice a week and create lesson plans and discuss ways to assess our ESL students' progress. This will be a six week action research project. Ideally, we would conduct this over a yearly span, but time is limited with the end of the year coming up.
I foresee the greatest challenge being time; time to get four core teachers to commit to this and time to create secondary instructional plans. We will also have limited results due to the short time set aside for the project.
