Yesterday, during the class, we discussed the difference between teachers and researchers. In addition, we talked about Teacher researcher and action research. I love the metaphor that me classmate described and her poem with rhyming.

Can a teacher become a researcher as well? With the power of Action Research/Teacher Research, I believe so.

Here’s Menna’s poem

Also, I just finished editing someone’s resume. I feel like the time flows back to the old days that I always edited and proofread assignments and documents for my peers. I am proud to say that I am competent of editing and translation. I do enjoy what I have done for this part and all these serve as foundation for me to change my career form school admin, a school secretary who translated tons of documents to a classroom teacher. I am HAPPY with it : )

Teachers are the people who understand teaching content best with the professional knowledge; admin looks from a top-down perspective with the power of management. Thus, what admin asked teachers to do often was a burden or even chaos. We, teachers, should involve in research and be subversive to the unreasonable ideology and cast the efforts to dedicate to the real teaching scenarios.
