Week 2 Reflection

Through this weeks videos, discussions and readings I have learned a lot about action research and why it is important.  Each video help me understand a little more why action research needs to be done and ways to do it successfully.  Meeting with my supervisor to discuss topics for my project and talking over ideas gave me a lot of insight as well.  He had some really great ideas on how to implement my project and ways to tie in other areas as well.  For my action research project I am going to interview/observe teachers and students about ways they feel discipline affects their learning.  Most importantly I am going to try and find a common method between teachers who have good classroom management and discipline, and see why their students are more successful.  I am starting to get really excited about starting this project and seeing what I find out.  I am also looking forward to observing other teachers classrooms and seeing what other teachers are doing that works.  I feel like this one thing that could really help teachers but we never have the time to do it, with our busy schedules.
