Action Research

Learning about inquiry and creating a 'wondering' has influenced the way in which I think about what I have seen at my PDS in that it makes me question almost everything that happens. I notice things that may affect my research on my own 'wondering,' and things that happen that could prompt a new wondering. I am constantly thinking about how effective certain teaching strategies are for ESL students and whether the same strategies are useful for different classes. If I hadn't learned about inquiry I do not think that I would be so curious about the things that go on in my PDS; now, I feel like I treat every experience in my PDS like a case study. Because of the way I constantly question things now I feel like I am getting more out of my tutoring experiences than I would if I had never learned aobut inquiry.
