It's all in the way you look at things!!
I could look at this graph and see failure because the September results are not as stellar as the May ones, but I choose to look and see growth! Definite gains were made from the Pre test results at the end of March! Growth means that I don't pack up my action research and put it away in a dusty file cabinet, but rather think about how I can keep improving my teaching practices and build more and more retention of these concepts.
