This week I learned that it is important to conduct research projects because as educators we never stop learning. “If you’re green you’re growing. If you’re brown you’re dying.” (Chargois, 2010). Teachers need to learn how to be action research oriented and not just learn about pedagogy and content (Chargois, 2010). Teachers and campuses need to be data driven and use that data to impact instruction. It is crucial to also look at the facts because looking at the numbers doesn't tell the whole story (Briseno, 2010). However, the research needs to be practical to you. It needs to apply to your campus' situation. When the research applies to you and your campus you will be more interested in the project, more focused on the outcome, and your students will benefit (Kirk, 2010).
