EDLD 5301 Week 2 Reflection

This week was tough.  I had a hard time deciding on what my action research topic will be.  My site mentor was full of ideas but he kept changing his mind.  Finally we agreed on a topic that fit in well with my internship plan and would not bore me to death in the process.  I learned from watching video interviews that you should select a topic that interested you and one that was practical and measurable.  The videos were very helpful and encouraging.

The readings this week were very good as well.  It was great to read several examples of action research, in real educational settings, in each of the 9 passion areas.  The readings helped me see all of the potential areas that action research can be beneficial in, while in a school setting.  It also made me realize all of the areas a principal has to deal with when they are leading.
