This has been quite a week  - creating benchmark assessments for all of our elementary schools and trying to wrap my brain around all things Action Research. After completing all of the readings and having numerous conversations with my site-supervisor and an educational specialist and former principal in our Research and Planning Department, I decided upon the action research plan below. As content specialists for the district, we are often tasked with having to design and sometimes facilitate professional development for our teachers and administrators. Often this event turns out to be a "sit and get" with little return on our investment. In other words, for the monumental amount of work that goes into creating district wide PD, it would be most beneficial if the PD actually had an impact on teacher perception. I would like to capture data from one school and try to measure whether or not teacher perception of Quality Questioning techniques in the classroom will change after the district wide PD. Careful attention will be paid, when creating the PD, to add a high level of engagement for the participants.
