Beginning Action Research

I think that one of the great things about the action research process is the first step.  Identifying a problem that would benefit from an action research approach seemed to be more cumbersome than I thought.  It's amazing how many issues, though some seem minor, that I came up with in my brainstorming.  What surprised me even more, is that as I read through my class discussion board, how widespread the exact same issues occur interdistrictly. 
The whole idea of reflection is what really makes this come to fruition.  If I were not enrolled in this course, I may never consider some of the ideas that I have come across, simply because I took a little time to reflect.  Who knows if I will ever be a superintendent, principal or assistant; but, incorporating this process, even as a teacher, will definitely improve the system.
All teachers should be introduced to this type of development.
