This week I have learned that teachers have to be action research oriented. The research we do needs to be practical and can be applied to my learning environment. When choosing an action research topic, I have to make sure that:
1. I do not focus my action research question on controlling or changing other people's practices. The only person I can control is myself and my action research question should be a self-discovery for my practices.
2. I take the time to discover a true passion so that it will sustain me through the process.
3. I focus on something that pertains to my building.
4. I ask for help from other colleagues.
5. I allow my question to change and evolve over time as I engage in the process.
In this day and age, teachers have to be data driven. I have to use data to impact my instruction on a daily basis and my action research should be data driven as well.
