Excerpts:

"I basically introduced some of the ideas of action research, the history of it, where it came from, the kinds of things people had done, what some of the key readings were, and the two principles we worked on, one was that anything we did should be collaborative. We should involve other people that we were doing research with in the projects that we were doing, and that meant different things for different people, but that was the sort of basic principle. And the other principle was one which you often hear quoted in action research circles, which is in its kind of motto form, it is that you can only do action research on your own practice, not on the practice of others."

"I guess that's an important thing, an important point to learn about action research projects, is that it's very hard to keep them in a box. They escape the time you've allotted for them. They often take up more work than you expect. They lead in unexpected directions. And they don't just stop, you can't walk away from them. They tend to take on a life of their own."
