This has been a challenging week to say the least. From an emergency surgery due to a severe infection to managing three kids and classwork, I'm feeling overwhelmed. And not to mention that there is a new job prospect in the very near future. Maybe there should be an action research project on how a wife, mother of three young children, full time educator, and full time student can accomplish it all! Just kidding (although I would find it interesting to look at how I get it all done at times).
In regards to the action research piece, I found it a struggle to narrow it down. Each inquiry I found had an important and interesting relationship to my school. And then on top of it, I became more intrigued as my classmates posted their ideas. I become excited and then overwhelmed. But, in the end, it was what my students are in most dire need of that pushes my action research.
My project will be based on the Response To Intervention (RTI) program and how it relates to the English as a Second Language Learners (ESL) at my school. I am curious as to the types of strategies my students are learning, as well as the amount of time they are spending in addition to regular class time. We will have to see how this whole project proceeds...
