Acion Research Topic - modified and updated

After oraginzing my data, I have decided to modify my action reasearch topic. Before I was looking to start online professional development for teachers to receive training on their specific subject areas but I have now decided to modify the direction I want to go. Below you will see the idea that I am now going to try and press.

I was not able to meet with my site supervisors due to weather issues and another attending the TCEA conference this week but I was able to get feedback from our Director of Assessment and Organizational Development who is in charge of professional development for the staff at our district. She made a few suggestions about my survey before I sent it out to make sure that my questions will generate answers that can be used for my topic. She also suggested I try to keep the survey from being too long to not discourage the survey takers from actually taking it. After I set out my survey with Survey Monkey, I noticed that I have had over 100 responses but the free version only allows me to see the first 100 responses so my site supervisor is checking to see if I can transfer my results over to the district version which is already paid for to get all of my data that I need. I also asked our professional development director if there was a way to collect some data on how many teachers have signed up for trainings and what teachers are actually signing up for as well but I am still waiting on the results.

As I stated in part 3 of my assignment, I think trying to get online professional development is not going to be the area I am focusing on, based off the data that I am receiving so far. I think I will look into trying to find a way through forums or some other online tool for teachers to discuss ideas of their specific subject areas to others across the state. This way teachers can share ideas that they have that is working, documents and lessons that have been created and post problems that have been coming up to look for solutions. As the saying goes, why try to recreate the wheel if others have already solved that problem that you are having.
