I have decided that our theme should be cacti and succulants. Spikey  and full of goodness. Never need much attention.

Dissertations look like this- all nice and neat on my shelves.

Welcome!

This is the joint programme for Action Research and Dissertation for MA Education and MA Inclusive Education.

Hi, I am Ian Terrell and I will be working with Alison Gee  to take you through this module.

We will be working through the agenda set by the module guide and discussing issues and sharing ideas below.

MA Inclusive Education
Your action research focus may be drawn from SEN, SPLD, Gifted, or SEAl or any other area of inclusivity.

MA Education
Your project will be based upon an education theme such as an aspect of teaching and learning  or leadership and management.

 The aim is to:
a Identify effective practice in your chosen area
b. Implement it in your context
c. Research and evaluate it so that you can improve it.
d. Discover new insights as a practitioner researcher.
Please contribute each week, a little and regularly. Please put the discussions into the portfolios
