Reflecting on Research

This will surprise many people in my life but I have thoroughly enjoyed the research phase of my dissertation.  I have learned a lot in these short months from a talented and motivated group of beginning teachers.  In retrospect and although not possible because of the dissertation protocol I wish I had of started with them last August.  My research would be far more rich and encompassing of the many tenets of family engagement.  These teachers have gotten a strong introduction to family engagement but I know as I wrap up our last session later this month they will not have gotten everything I'd planned.  With that I know what I will incorporate in BTSA next year and that is really exciting!
