I am having trouble making time to sit down and find more research on which to build my study. I found two great sources but some of the others are not quite what I expected. I guess that is why I have to keep going and find my "saturation point." This is the hardest part for me. I would love to hear from any of you on tips on how to overcome this.
Another issue is that one of the teachers I'm supposed to be observing is not back from leave yet. She is supposed to come back sometime this month after never starting the year with her students. Like my principal said, she will need to get back in the swing of things. I completely understand and feel bad because I don't want to be another monkey on her back. I asked my principal that we could wait and start in January if needed but I guess she sensed that I really didn't want that so she agreed to my next suggestion of beginning the observations through video recordings. That way it won't be so intrusive. We'll see what happens! In the mean time I will be compiling my data to create guidelines or ideas of what the research says I should see. I also have to develop questionnaires for the teachers who will be participating.
