After spending another week educating myself on the process of action research, I realize just how much I have already been doing it. Have I been documenting my research and presenting it in hope of campus wide change? No, but it's nice to know I've been doing something right as a teacher. Whether it's comparing how I taught a topic in 2nd period to 3rd period and evaluated students' understanding or looked at this year's chapter 4 test results compared to last year's, I know that if I am not always looking to improve the learning process in my classroom that I need to find another job.
I am looking forward to taking the action research concept to the next level and researching a topic that can hopefully result in change at the campus or possibly the district level. This week's assignment was designed to aide us in selecting a topic in showing how inquiry can be used in many aspects of education leadership. Even though I have not decided on a topic for my project yet, the assignment assured me that I am looking in the right places and will be able to make a good decision of topic.
I'm hoping to have a topic picked in a couple of days. Stay tuned...
