This text is such a practioner-friendly tool for engaging in action research in education. It's only 86 pages and written in a way that is easy for busy teachers to digest AND feel like they can actually act on the practices. I have read a lot of A-R for EDU texts lately and many leave me feeling overwhelmed or exhausted; I commend Dana for her ability to state the essential, provide reflection questions, and plenty of examples to get you started. While I engage in A-R informally, this text reminded me how important it is to make this process visible through concrete planning and collaboration with others.
