Week 3, Project – About My AR Summary Page

Working on putting together my summary of my action research project. This has been an interesting year. I’m so glad that we did the blogs each month. It has really helped to keep me focused. I was able to take pieces and put together a summary. It also was easy to see where I needed to fill in and document more for next time.

Next time?? Yes. There will be a next time. This time reminded me of my first year of teaching. I was feeling my way forward in the dark. My students and I (many of whom are now Facebook friends) all made it to the other side of the year knowing more and able to do more than when we started. In the years after, I became more skilled in communicating with and listening to my students as well as more refined in what I wanted to impart to them. This is what I want to do with action research. Become better and more skilled and always moving forward. This is only the beginning of this journey.

That’s me at my first teaching job with one of my students, 21 years ago.

Kerry,

I will be continuing on the AR road. Now that I have gotten some experience, I would like to continue and make it better. Like you, when I first started I didn't know what an AR project was. Now that I know I can apply this experience to future AR projects.

Hi Kerry,

I looked at your Cycle 2 Data and Analysis. You have received some remarkable results. I think your project is a very worthwhile endeavor. It has so many possibilities for teachers as well as students.

I'm glad that Joe was able to help you to find an avenue to finish your work on time. I knew you would do it. You are a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to all who know you.

Good luck and I'll see you at graduation.

Yes I too will have a next time to using this program with my students. I think the action research could guide my entire course of study for next year. The AR research was by for one of the more difficult issues to tackle for this. I really learned from the whole process, more so than just writing a thesis paper. Papers or very informal and vague to my mind. Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am reading.
Keep going!!
Peace, Rainey!!
