Week Two Reflection

The most important idea that came to mind while reflecting on the Week Two assignment is to follow what you are most interested in. While coming up ideas for possible action research topics, I felt like I was being drawn to one in particular. I really want to look into what motivates teachers in their profession. By selecting this one with the help of my campus principal, I will put much more effort into it than some topic that I have little interest in. I don't want to waste my time rehashing a topic that has been covered repeatedly before. I want to follow what I am interested in. This is the same reason I am in the teaching profession. If all I wanted to do is collect a pay check then I would have gone to work in the business world. I like teaching and coaching with the kids and that is what interests me. Maybe my interest in the action research topic can devise a way to elicit change that will benefit the students.
