Over the course of the last five weeks I have learned a lot about turning wonderings and curiosities into functional inquiries that inspire action. I have also learned a lot about the importance of reflection, both in my personal establishment of an action plan and by the examples given in our textbooks and video interviews. Reflection has been a particularly important part of my growth because it has allowed me to carefully drill down on my action research inquiry and revise it to suit the needs of my campus and align with the corresponding literature and suggestions I found along the way.

Site Supervisor Conference Reflection

This week I met with my site supervisor to discuss my action research project. He was enthusiastic about increasing the use of technology with meaning and purpose. He acknowledged that the current use of curriculum management systems had not been effective. Our hope is that since we know our students best, we can best design the lessons to be delivered using this system. However, my supervisor did have concerns about my using only one objective from the math section of the TAKS. He wondered if the scope would be broad enough to accurately assess the project. We agreed to move forward and continue to question and reassess frequently.
