Reflections

This action research course has had many insightful aspects to it. The readings, lectures, electronic searches, activities and assignments, discussion boards, and blogs have all been extremely beneficial towards achieving my educational goals. Action research is a means of bringing about positive change in your own environment. It is a process guided by questions intended to focus on future improvements.

FINAL TOPIC

Throughout the course I have met several times with my site supervisor regarding this assignment as well as my action research plan. Unfortunately, she has been out of town for about a week and I have been unable to meet with her face to face. Her assistant has been talking to me on the phone, and also meeting with me. She also has been e-mailing my supervisor to keep her informed of my progress.

SHARING IDEAS

While continuing my action research project on minimizing the effects of the transition of elementary students to the junior high school for students and their parents/families, I have continuously been sharing my thoughts and ideas on both my blog as well as the discussion board. These efforts have helped me tremendously to proceed with my plan since I have received many opinions from different people both on line as well as from my own community.
