Action   Planning for Education Change

 In Chapter 7, Mills (2014) discusses a variety of challenges action researchers face with implementing positive change.
 

What potential challenges or obstacles do you predict facing in your current or future role as an educator when implementing positive change (lack of resources, resistance to change, reluctance to interfere with others’ professional practices, reluctance to admit difficult truths, difficulty finding a forum to share what you have learned, lack of time for action research endeavors, unsupportive administration, other)?
 

Describe how you would apply what you have learned regarding the challenges of implementing educational change to overcome potential obstacles that you may encounter in taking action.
 

Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two classmates.  Provide suggestions for overcoming their potential obstacles. What is something they shared that you hadn’t considered in your own future endeavors?  *It is expected you follow-up by the last day of the week to provide a secondary response to any comments or questions your instructor may have provided. This is part of the grading criteria as a demonstration of critical thinking.
