MONT 543 - Montessori Action Research

Action research is a component of reflective practice and professional learning that is grounded in an ethical commitment to improving one’s own teaching. As subjective insiders, action research will be introduced as a natural component of a Montessori teacher’s professional development and reflective practice. Students will design and conduct action research projects based on their own curiosity about their students’ learning and their teaching to better understand and improve behaviors, outcomes, school improvement, curriculum, and professional practice. Students analyze the data to improve their own practice while examining their own assumptions and beliefs.
