I have learned wondering about things is a good thing especially when you are thinking about action research. These wonderings should come from our passions developed through our work. In education when working as an administrator your wonderings may come from 9 different areas of passion, staff development, curriculum, individual teachers, individual students, school culture, leadership, management, school performance, and social justice. One should not focus their wonderings on controlling or changing others' practice. Discovering passion that is true and sustaining happens over time. Finally, wonderings that begin as one thing and change as time goes on is how we continue to find the best strategies and ideas to have successful students.
As I continue on through this course and deciding on my own action research project I will try to keep in mind all the information I have taken in this week. This course is definitely going to be a journey!
