Yes, I realize that last week I'd fully decided on a plan of action research. However, it has now changed. (Insert gasp here.) If you know anything about me, it's that my indecisive nature often leaves me hungry, simply because I can't decide what to eat. However, as I couldn't remain grade-less, I have decided, for sure, to conduct my action research project on the benefit of classroom meetings in relationship to the implementation of our new bully-free program, Olweus. To avoid confusion, we always had an anti-bully policy, but this is a program, backed by data, that helps us to help the students discourage bullying on their own.
During this week, I learned more about the areas that one could possibly conduct an action research project, then I ever new was possible. I've typed the words "action research" so much that I think I'm doing it in my sleep. :) I've discovered that along with my peers, my principal has been leading us in action research without us even knowing it. (How sneaky!) I do it on a daily basis in my classroom, and with my grade level team, on the math committee, as a technology mentor, and through the RTI process. It's something that seems to have been implemented, maybe through my under-grad classes.
