Finding A Wondering

As this second week comes to a close, there are a few things that I have reflected on. The reading has expanded my thoughts and feelings in regards to the things that are actually happening on the campus of my school, and I realize that I am not alone in my thinking and that my thinking has not been far off at all. There are so many areas I could foresee pursuing an action research project with from staff development to students to my peers and even the current administration that I work under. Even after looking at the topics that my classmates have chosen, I'm excited with the thought of action research. As stated by Dr. Chargois, I'd rather be green and growing rather than brown and dying. I think there are a lot of schools and teachers that are brown and dying and could benefit from action research. I definitely see myself researching specific interests and exploring solutions that have worked for others to minimize and even eliminate some of the issues and concerns that I may be facing as an educator. Unfortunately, the position I am in doesn't really allow for consistent use of quantitative data due to that fact that it is dependent upon so many extenuating factors and circumstances. I truly look forward to the challenges.
