I can definitely say this course has been challenging and has kept me on my toes. Between the assignments and the planning of the action research plan I have had little time to breathe but now it is almost over and I can see the light at the end of the action research tunnel (the planning phase anyway). I met with my site supervisor (my principal) on Tuesday. We had a very good discussion on my action research plan and how it fits into his vision for our campus. He reviewed my activities and commented that in order to get the students to "buy into" my plan, the activities needed to be engaging and not lengthy on time. We discussed the tests, survey, checklist, and writing that I would use as an assessment and for data. I also shared that I did not know where to begin with the survey because I was a survey newbie! But that several classmates had shared possible locations for finding information and he said he would help me also. He made no changes to my action research plan but said when we meet in December we would discuss progress or problems.
Please comment and I will comment back! - and let us continue our journey on our plans -
Till next week,

Great work! Glad your meeting proved your topic to be a good one!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good meeting! I think he's right that student "buy-in" will be a big deal. His suggestions are good ones. I too am looking forward to this phase being over. It has been busy.
ReplyDeleteAdam,
