The Teaching Center is once again offering professional development in the area of Action Research. Action Research informs teaching and is persuasive because teachers are invested in the legitimacy of the process and the impact of interventions derived from the research. Action research should be based on real and relevant classroom concerns. This systematic inquiry (usually undertaken by two or more teachers) includes:
Identifying an area of focus
Collecting data
Analyzing and interpreting the data
Developing a plan of action.
There is a direct relationship between Action Research and Teacher Professionalism. A professional is a person who plays a major role in creating self-reliance and self-confidence in one’s work culture. Professionals are expected to:
attack routine problems
consider a variety of perspectives when making decisions
play a significant role in producing knowledge that moves their profession
hold themselves accountable for using best practices.
In addition, teams will utilize their presentations to offer "Summer Dive" and "Fall Follow-up" workshops, offered to any WG staff member interested in embedding the findings in their own practices.
