The course work at Lamar continues to be intriguing. I find myself tired yet satisfied with the new learning that engulfs me. The Action Research episode is slowly starting to sink in. The more that I both read and listen tends to reconcile with what I already practice. I often have wondered if the world of education will ever take a reversal role from what it is now. But, what would that role be? What should we change and where would we start? The most obvious suspects are student achievement, school climate, and parental involvement. But, these are just a few of the aspects that would impact our climate of education. The words of the day are RIGOR, RELEVANCE, And RELATIONSHIPS!
These three values should guide the educator to obtaining excellence. The ultimate questioning for inquiry should be how will student achievement be gained? The idea or thoughts of "well, at least I made a difference with one child" are over. We are at a point now of affecting all students regardless of their economic status. The “Status Quo” is over!
The Action Research that I will begin will dive into the bowels of school climate. I want answers tomorrow and will gather data diligently to obtain my goal.
