Week 2 Reflections

This week, we were asked to read about the 9 main categories of action research.  Those topics are Staff development, Curriculum development, Individual teacher(s), Individual student(s), School culture/community, Leadership Management, School performance, and Social justice or equity issues.  One thing I found interesting was that it seemed several of these topics overlapped in some ways.  For example, if I am looking at improving the reading levels for a group of my students, that could be listed under individual students as well as social justice and school performance.  Not that it really matters which one we really use, but I found that to be an interesting fact. 

We were also asked to look through our internship plans to find 3 topics that could lead to a possible action research project to be conducted by us during this masters.  After meeting with my site supervisor, I believe I have nailed down what I am going to do for my project.  I just need to form my Wondering question as well as get the details together.  Just so happens, that is our assignment for Week 3. Woohoo!    

I hope everyone else is found a project they feel near and dear to as well, and I look forward to hearing about them next week.  Enjoy the rest of your weekends!
