Action Research Presentation Reflection
April 24, 2012 was a good
day. It was the day I shared my action
research presentation with my colleagues, principal, and curriculum
coordinator. The day began with my team members bringing me a vase of flowers
with a good luck note. Hugs were
exchanged all around, and I felt so good that they supported me and
acknowledged my hard work. My advisory students helped disinfect all the desks
and tidy the room up, so it was ready for the presentation. Later that day my husband stopped in with my
daughter Harper. He had made and
brought in chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies that were in the shape of
graduation caps. It was so nice he came
to wish me luck on my big day. I also
enjoyed showing Harper off to everyone at school. My superintendent also came down to meet Harper. Many students wished me good luck as they
left for the day. I also received a
text message from my sister telling me that I would do great. All the positive energy was well accepted.
My presentation was
scheduled to start right after school, so staff were able to attend and still
work the middle school track meet. I
had a total of ten people attend, including my accountability partner and
another community member. I felt very
prepared, as I had practiced many times.
I created note cards to help remember the most important points, but I
did not end up using them much. I felt
confident sharing a topic I knew quite a bit about. I was asked questions at the end, and many seemed genuinely
interested in my topic. I received
positive feedback and there was even mention of creating a hex class next year
based on my project. I felt very proud
of accomplishing a large project that ended up being very positive for
students.
