This week's assignments gave me an opportunity to expand my perspective of action research. Watching the videos of the administrators explaining how and what they see as action research, I was able to put myself in the shoes of my own administrators. I got a clearer understanding of the goals and purposes of many school activities that I rather took for granted. For instance, attending the Campus Improvement Team meetings is now a more meaningful activity. I can say that before I attended, paid attention and was actively engaged; but I was far away from understanding the real purpose of discussing campus improvement at that level.
Ana, your previous comments about researching graphic organizers is a valid topic. There is a lot of research about this strategy. The folks at Inspiration have work in this area. You might want to check out their website for more information.
