During my twelve years as an educator, I've always had many questions. How can I reach certain students? What can I do to make a lesson better? How can I address teaching reading in my content area? What can I do to grow as a teacher? As it turns out, my internship plan was the initial step in answering some of those questions and putting ideas into action. I have adopted an attitude of being a life-long learner, a recurring theme for the last 6 weeks. I will now be able to make a difference by asking insightful questions and following steps to find those answers in the form of an action research project.
My action research project is still developing, but this is my initial inquiry: In what ways can I, along with my principal, best implement professional development on Special Education that will give teachers access to tools that will improve grades and increase scores on End-of-Course Exams?
Professional development has always been an area of interest. Not only have I enjoyed attending sessions, but I've also enjoyed presenting sessions. I look forward to the challenge of walking away with new information and attempting to make changes in my teaching. I hope that by choosing an action research project in staff development, I can inspire others to implement new information that greatly impacts student learning and achievement!
