Week 2 - The Wheels are Turning

After learning about the benefits of action research plans last week, the wheels in my head have been turning trying to sort through the problems that we face as educators in our schools. My action research plan has changed countless times as a result of this. This week's assignments have helped me understand that it is in fact a good thing to think broadly first before narrowing down your action research study. I have decided to investigate the effects of mentoring programs on at risk youth. I feel that my action research plan has purpose and significance which are two important criteria for selecting an action research project. I have always believed that building positive relationships with students directly correlates to their achievement. I hope to gain a better understanding of mentoring programs, and I am excited to talk to students about their experiences in mentoring programs.
