Action Plan Week Three

The action plan below has gone through several revisions. It occurs to me that as many of us have pointed out, often action research in group settings and/or learning communities don't really do much good. I believe this to be because we start out trying to do research because of someones passion or great idea but we really haven't taken the time to do action research on action research or on learning communities and how to utilize them effectively. We must take the time to learn to collaborate and critically look at data and research and use it, problem solve, revise, publish, back up and do what we need to suit our needs. The journey is as important as the destination sometimes. Hopefully this plan will help move my school in the right direction. Lynda

  1. Lynda,

    I absolutely love what you have chosen to do your action research project. It is one of those ideas that is staring at you right in the face, but never see. Your plan is very well planned out and I do believe this plan would be very beneficial to any staff involved in PLCs and action research. Maybe you should really think about taking this on at our school next year. Great job!!!!

  2. Monica, I agree with you. Lynda, you have a well thought-out action plan that can be beneficial and effective at any and all school settings. Each of us in this course should be able to learn something from your action research you do. Learning communities are so important and necessary in order for an entire school system to make effective decisions and put them in place. Great job. I am confident your research will be beneficial for your school.
