Some great questions here to get us thinking...#NATECLA #ESOL

We're going to look at action research #NATECLA

And some of the things teachers might say/feel about it...#NATECLA

But some of the benefits people have found from engaging with AR #NATECLA

The democratic principles of action research are important - not driven by an external authority. What are our classrooms about?
#NATECLA

The 'insider' element of action research is important #NATECLA

Its subjectivity is not an issue, it's still based on evidence and aiming to develop local theories for practice.

#NATECLA

Anne is talking about Kemmis and McTaggart's model of AR #natecla

What about getting started with action research? #Natecla

And then reflect on what you find...#natecla

We're looking at an example of some #esol action research. Giving students ownership engaged them but they became 'uncooperative'
#natecla

So Pam, the teacher explored this. Really interesting to see this. #natecla

Pam went on to get a PhD 🙂 #natecla

Action research has the potential to empower teachers and students. It can be transformative #natecla
