Week 3 – Blog Reflection

This week’s assignments entailed me planning.  This is what I felt like I do best.  I have plans and listed items for prioritizing every day of my life.  However, for some reason creating a detailed action research plan was tedious.  As I reflect back, I realized that it was strenuous to put on paper because I know this plan will change.  Plans in my mind, should not change.  However, I keep telling myself this plan will change and it will be OK.  Flexibility will be key to the success of this research.  So, I am currently reprogramming myself to change continuously without hesitation.  I have been fighting this idea since I started teaching 4 years ago.  But now I know change is actually the best thing I can embrace for student achievement.  Now this systematic process will allow me to change what I need to and to keep what are foundational.
