Creating my action Research Plan
When I began this class and found out I needed to have an action research project I immediately begin thinking about my own class. I am the general education teacher in a co-teach classroom. I have been in a co-teach or inclusion environment for the last 3 years. I know this is a great placement for special education children, but there have been times when I have questioned if the general education students are benefited. This has always been a concern of mine. As I read through the nine passions and read through my other readings it was clear where my heart was leading me. I always want to remember that the reason I am in education is because of my love of children. I always want to make sure they are ALL getting the best education possible.

I appreciate how you emphasized ALL students. I read a journal article the other day preparing for my research project that dealt with a play on words from NCLB. It was entitled "Smart Child Left Behind." I believe that piece reflected on the surprising performance rewards that high achievers were experiencing in the inclusion/co-teach settings. I wish I had written it down, but it might be a good article for you in your project. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog entries! With almost all school campuses having co-teach classrooms, I think there could be components of your action plan that all campuses would want to review. Follow your heart and please share on your blog!
