Action Research Revision/GCS defined

I want to thank everyone for their comments and give some background information before I post the revisions to my research plan. First, I wanted to let everyone know that GCS stands for Grand Central Station. This was a program that started several years ago to follow a set number of "at risk" students. The students were assigned to this program staffed by a teacher and one para-professional who "made sure" the students completed their assignments. The program added another para-professional this year and now any student can be sent to  GCS during their elective time to complete missing homework assignments. This is done with the hope that the students will have to complete their homework and then pass for the six weeks.  I am doing my research in this area to see if this program is effective. The program is still called GCS even though "zero recovery" or "zap" might be what you call a similar program at your campus. I have started making a spreadsheet with the student's names and how many times the students went to GCS. I decided not to use information from the first six weeks because the program was just getting started and there are usually many schedule changes along with students entering and withdrawing the first few weeks of school.
Here is my revised plan.---I am sure there will be more changes before all is said and done.
