Specific challenges that I foresee in implementing my Action Research and how do I plan to address those challenges:
Time factor: Time factor will be the biggest challenge whether it comes to meeting with the administration, teachers or mentors. The best way to overcome this challenge is to be flexible and keep at it even if it means to send few friendly reminders to keep up with the time-line.
Acceptability:The other factor that I see as a challenge is acceptability of my research by my peers and how much are they willing to learn, change and accept the new innovative ideas formulated by this research. So I need to convince every-one of the new strategies and stay focused on the outcome that can impact student success.
Lack of Support: Sometimes lack of support can really discourage a person in their journey of making new discoveries. So I will continue to build a rapport and work on earning the required support even if it seems challenging.
Cooperation: Lack of co-operation can be little stressful. Action research needs lot of people working together and co-operating with each other. It also requires agreeing on new ideas and new study. Lack of co-operation can cause little tension especially when you have time-line in place. The bottom line is to make it work.

I totally agree with you time is going to be a huge issue in implementing our action research, but collaboration form our colleagues will really make things easier.
I like the format you have selected. I think of action research like an experiment. We gather information and test it to see if it produces the results we are looking for. If it works then we improve on it and if it doesn't we need to gather more data. Great Job!
