Week 2

One of the more insightful lessons I learned from week two was from Dr. Chargois video concerning the implementation of action research projects. He addressed the critical aspect of not implementing studies during critical times such a standardized testing (usually the month of May) , along with discussing the ethical delimmas that must be considered when conducting research. The protection of identity was a no brainer, however, I didn't think of ethics to the extent of what one maybe possibly researching would oppress the campus in any sort of way. I believe this is a good enough reason to seek out research that other campuses and districts have conducted on similiar areas of interest and take note of what worked and didn't work and more importantly of why it didn't work-possibly because of timing and/or some underlying ethical issue(s).
