The document discusses action research in the ESF. It aims to share current action research projects in ESF secondary schools and consider how research could be expanded across the Foundation. Action research empowers teachers to innovate, collaborate and reflect through professional learning communities focused on improving student outcomes. Examples of current projects at KGV include researching students' online footprints and data tracking. The opportunity for Foundation-wide research is discussed, as is designing individual action research projects. Key components of developing a research project are outlined, including purpose, rationale, research questions, methodology, resources and timeline.

Disrupting traditional public schooling with personalized learning through blended, mastery-based approaches requires teachers who have a new set of schools for facilitating learning and managing their classrooms. This presentation by Mary Esselman of the Education Achievement Authority of Michigan walks through the five phases of professional development for EAA's teachers: Mindset/mission/vision, Creating the learning environment, planning for instruction, assessing mastery, and using data to drive performance.
Active engagement with the relevant domain of the world around us
Leadership in thinking and doing
Continual learning from, communication with, and dissemination to others
Unafraid to differ, and advocate change/innovation
But not pursue change just for the sake of change

This presentation formed part of the HEA-funded workshop 'Research methods for teacher education'.
This event brought together academic experts in educational research methods with school leaders, to debate, share and determine how student teachers and teachers on part-time Masters-level programmes can best be taught to use research methods to better understand and ultimately, improve the quality of their teaching and improve educational outcomes for pupils and schools.

Presented at the 2017 Faculty Summer Institute
Research suggests that building a strong sense of connectedness in an online course promotes
student success, engages students, and retains students. This requires that you establish a strong
teaching presence within the course, and that you create structures for students to form a community.
In this session, you will learn strategies to make your online course more personal and techniques to
build faculty and student presence in your online course.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. Aims of the session
• To share what is happening in ESF secondary
schools regarding Action Research
• To consider what Action Research could look
like across the Foundation
• To brainstorm possible projects at school or
Foundation level
4. The What…
‘Action research is a
process of deep inquiry
into one's practices… the
systematic, reflective
study of one's actions, and
the effects of these
actions, in a workplace
context.’
- Riel, M (2010) Understanding
- Action Research
5. The What…
In ESF it is labelled many
ways:
• Action Research
• Teacher inquiry
• Rapid prototyping
6. And the Why…
To empower teachers to
innovate, collaborate and reflect through
school or Foundation-wide professional
learning communities that focus on
improving outcomes for all students.
- #ed.teach committee group
7. Over to you..
Why are you interested in Action Research?
What areas would you be interested in
investigating? Why?
Who would you like to research with?
8. The projects are useful to share at:
• staff professional development,
• inductions for new teachers and educational
assistants,
• parent workshops,
• workshops within and outside of the ESF
community to promote your school.
11. KGV
• “Academic Practitioners” … all the vogue !
• Huge expertise in the school so let’s “own” the
research about our own organisation
• Link with HK Institute of Education
• Two projects this year:
• Online footprint (Ed)
• Data tracking (James Smith)
• Both are involving students, teachers, support
staff, outside research

• Now you have time to design your own action
research project, that could be
personal, school based or Foundation–wide.
24. RESEARCH PURPOSE AND
RATIONALE
• Reflect on teaching and learning.
Where is there a common area
that needs development across
schools?
• What are you interested in
pursuing through action
research?
• Identify an area for improvement
in teaching and learning. Gather
information on the area and the
students involved.
• Who will you be working with-
the researchers and the study
group?
• What are the intended
outcomes/ solutions/ results?
RESEARCH QUESTION/S
• What do you want to find out?
Define the question/s and set
objectives.
• How will you collect the data-
what methodology?
• Is there anyone who needs to
know about the research Line
manager
• What resources do you need?
• How long will it take? Develop a
timeline of action.
