5301 Week 2 Blog

During this week's assignment, I listened to 3 interviews of leaders from three different school districts talking on the subject of action research.  All three had interesting points and examples of action research that they had been involved in.  Also this week, it was interesting to read about the different examples of the nine areas of schools that one might perform action research.  The many examples in the text were interesting and made me think about issues in my own school that could use some action research. 
I visited with my site supervisor about possible topics for an action research that would benefit my school.  The three that we narrowed it down to were: 

 1. How does tardiness effect student achievement and scores on standardized tests?
2. Can same gender classes help with student achievement?
3. What affects do long term In School Suspension assignments effect student achievement?

All of the activities this week brought about some "wondering" on topics that might be interesting to do action research.
