Hello AERA SIG Action Researchers,

I am forwarding information about a position at Teachers College, at Columbia University that includes supervising action research.  Nancy, (and others)  will see that I have also listed it on our AR SITE  in a new section called job postings. The site is

http://sites.google.com/site/aeraarsig/

(Nancy,  are welcome to attach the file and add contact information if you would like--I made you a member so you could change it.)  Anyone else who wants to be a member just let me, or one of the officers, know and we will be happy to add you. -- (FYI) I will be away from email for about 4 days starting tomorrow. )

I hope everyone is having a great start of the year.  I am working with a dozen students as they work through their ideas for action research.  I have put my notes, ideas and strategies for supporting action research on a wiki (http://ccar.wikispaces.com) and I welcome discussion around them.  There is a discussion tab on every page, or you can just edit the pages and add your ideas. I think it would be great to create a wiki of share teaching strategies for supporting action research. I look forward to hearing your ideas for each of the phases of supporting action research.

If anyone has ideas that they want to share with the community, feel free to use google site http://sites.google.com/site/aeraarsig/ or the NING (http://actionresearchworld.ning.com).   I am sending this to AERA AR discussion listserv as well as a test --but I mostly  get denied when I try to post (even through I have a joined a dozen times).  Maybe it will work this time.  (If you get two copies, please ignore the second one but you will know that the discussion forum is working.)   

Let us know if you have ideas for building a stronger sense of community.

Margaret
