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.

It is really great that you are beginning to question everything that you see. It shows that your knowledge of inquiry is actually affecting what you accomplish in your PDS.
