It is just like I tell my students when they
begin a research project. Come up with an idea then narrow it. I think I am
guilty of exactly what my students are…biting off more up more than I can chew and needing to narrow my
topic (along with a few clichés). A topic sounds like a good idea until you
realize, “Oh No, this is way bigger than I thought.”
Another idea I have been thinking lately is
it seems (and action research encourages this) that there seems to be a lot of
questions raised and ideas tossed around. I am hoping throughout this action
research study that questions start to get real answers and ways to actually
implement solutions when committees are formed.
It would seem everyone has an answer, but
when it comes to actual implementation, few seem to step up to implement
solutions because it requires time outside their actual school day. I am not
saying they are bad teachers, it is just with low pay and a high demand on
time, many teachers do not have the time outside the scope of their work day to
commit to yet another project.
How do we motivate teachers to give up what
little free time they do have?
