Initial Thoughts
Reflect and Plan: Consider the initial thoughts you just documented. Now, work through the linked Prezi to further support your understanding of how action research might help you engage in a continuous improvement cycle.
Action Research Prezi
Plan and Act: The Prezi takes you through the work of the PLM researchers and gives you insight into how they conducted their research. As you work through the Prezi, record key takeaways as they apply to your initial thoughts about action research at your site.
Reflection
Observe and Reflect: Revisit your original reflection from the initial thoughts section and reflect on any changes in your thinking after participating in the Can you Operationalize That? activity. Share these thoughts with your colleagues in your working Google doc. Still have questions? Contact the PLM authors by completing the form at the bottom of the page.
Can I operationalize my data?
Act and Observe: After working through the Prezi, review the example of an operationalized action research plan. Make a copy of the linked document to complete your own operationalized action research plan.
"Teachers have to ask themselves, what changes are necessary in my classroom this fall to prepare and empower students for this world? We must be agents of this change."
