Week Two of EDLD 5301 Action Research

Time to choose a topic for my action research project.

This is what I'm thinking:
Teachers do not have enough time or energy to sit in formal meetings every day. We need a more effective way to share ideas on our own time, when it fits our schedule. I need to find out if our district firewall blocks ning or moodle and if both are blocked, then I will use a blog on the district’s site. Using this interactive technology, I will lead a group of reading teachers to explore more effective practice while implementing our new reading series. Teachers can post when they have found success implementing a specific component of the reading series and others can learn from that experience. Our goal will be to explore and discover the most effective strategies, help each other become familiar with them, and implement the strategies in every classroom. This action research project will benefit teachers as they choose more effective teaching strategies and drop less effective strategies. It will also benefit students who will receive better instruction.
