Welcome your Action Research Learning Circle Workshop!
This workshop is to help create a structure of mutual support in your efforts to improve your learning, teaching and leadership skills. We invite you to help me, Timothy Quezada, and others at the Teachership Academy to create an experience that is meaningful to you. To help us do this, you will be placing you in learning circles. I have uploaded a short (5 page) description of Action Research Learning Circles ending with a description of my plans to work with all of you. Hopefully this will help you understand how a learning circle, different than other forms of collaboration, will be useful in this effort. Learning Circles are an effective way of developing the human infrastructure; Google Sites can be a way of organizing the technology infrastructure. Both these structures are to help you develop your teaching expertise through action research. You can get a overview of google sites and learn how to use this site by watching these videos.
I also invite you all to visit the Center for Collaborative Action Research (CCAR) and join to CCAR:Interact
