Week 2 Reflection

Wow, what a week!  I went from not really knowing what a blog was to creating and posting on my very own.  I think I'm going to like this outlet of sharing.  Being able to "speak" my thoughts freely is invigorating.  Even more importantly, people can respond.  How cool is that?  As I went through this week's activities, I was reminded once again that education is indeed grounded in research.  I'm also reminded that research is ever-growing, and that education must grow with it.  Good administrators and teachers are constantly reflecting and working to make changes for the better.  Why?  Because educators never stop learning!  When one reaches the point that he/she doesn't want to learn anymore, it's a sign to get out of education.  We owe it to our students, fellow teachers, and administrators to be the best we can be.  The action research project is going to serve as an outlet for that learning.  What am I passionate about?  What bugs me that I want to critique?  How can I make a difference?  The old saying, "one person can make a difference," comes to mind.  It only takes the idea of one person to snowball into something great that can make the lives of others more fulfilling.
