Week 2 was a tough week. It was Thanksgiving Break, Black Friday, family portraits, visiting relatives, and sleeping in all rolled into one. On top of all that, I had to pencil in time to read and create my question list for my action research plan.
I am pleased to admit that reading Chapter 2 of the Dana text opened my eyes to an organized view of the areas that experts as well as myself feel need to be addressed in our school systems. Action research is not just for principals or administrators. It is something that can involve everyone from teachers to students, parents, and custodians. Action research can be as simple as charting the difference in switching off light switches to as detailed as exploring different teaching techniques and their effects over a period of time.
All in all, action research can be a great tool to increase student performance. It is something that I am looking forward to accomplishing myself.
