I’m at the paper writing time of my school work. So things are full on, and it’s difficult to find time and desire to write about things. Especially school things.
For one of my assignments I have to choose a methodology that supports my research questions. I’m mostly interested in the how we are regarding where we are. Why do we act certain ways in different places, how does the interact with our idea of teacher identity and maybe what does that mean for learning?
I think pursuing narrative inquiry is the way to go for this type of work. I really want to know who the teachers are, I want their story and I want their ideas. I want to know how we are linked together, not just because we work together, but because our stories are connected. Stories are woven together, and nothing is isolated, so I hope that this path works out.
