Reflecting on each of these scholars I identified a common
them, that it is important to look outside your organization to begin finding
solutions to the challenges your environment is facing. I think this is a message that is valid
whether you are speaking of individual teachers, departments, schools or
districts. It is valuable to search out
ideas for a solution before you try and come up with one on your own. I find that when I discuss challenges with
other teachers we almost always collectively find a solution to the
problem.

Sharing Best Practices
Watching and listening to the educators who were sharing this week on action research it struck me that a good ideas is a good idea. Thoughout my profession life both in education and in other endeavors I have always sought the best ideas from others. It really struck home with me that this is a valid practice and just as our students learn well from other students we can be the students to other teachers and administrators.

That's true, Rose. We have to be open to the learning experiences that can be found in so many circumstances. I found all three men interesting. They and this course have made me want to teach my colleagues about research. Especially for those of us whose subjects do not directly correlate to the state test. I am not certain how well my colleagues will take to the idea, but it is certainly a good way to collaboratively problem solve.
