While drafting my research action plan, I have been thinking that I have been doing some research action without realizing.  Not all of the criteria are necessarily met, but in some way I have been conducting research based on collecting data and results from students, comparing the results and collaborating with other colleagues.  Several leveled literacy intervention leaders and I met earlier this year to discuss different strategies and implementations that are working at our campuses.  It was a great way to pick each others' brains and see what was working.  Next year it will be good to see how effective they have been for others and to use this information in my action research.

  1. Action research is a part of every teachers/educators daily routine. We are often "wondering" how we can reach the students? What will hold their interest? How can I relate this lesson to real life experiences?
    You are right on track.

  2. I agree with you and Mary. I feel, we as educators, are constantly performing action research to a certain degree. Whether it is collaborating with your team, another teacher, or on your own... we are always trying to improve what we are doing!
