In week 2, I seem to have a little deeper understanding of action research, how it is conducted and why it is useful. Our readings in week 2 helped point out many common action research topics in school settings that I had not yet though about on my own. I have decided to stick with my original action research topic related to employee wellness. I was unable to meet with my principal this week, but we did converse through e-mail. I am blessed that my principal is such a wonderful individual who is quick to help in any way possible. She is such a great mentor!
My principal and I decided that it would be fitting for me to conduct action research in the area of developing and implementing an employee wellness program. We both agreed that our campus needs a boost, and this may be something that can make a difference. Since I am currently an elementary physical education teacher and high school tennis coach that travels between 3 schools, my action research could possibly benefit 3 campuses in our district. I plan to focus on my home school at this time and look forward to doing what it takes to make a difference. My intentions are to help the staff raise performance levels, which will in turn increase learning in our school community.
That is awesome! I think that you could work on implementing them in all three schools as well and have great results that would really help both teachers and students. You must have so much energy to be able to do all that you do! Keep up the hard work and I know you will succeed!
