 * !9 March**

> 1. What action research have you been exploring? Small or big. (It doesn't matter if only a few people have something to share, there will be enough for others to engage with) 2. What have you learned so far from your action research? - People respond to which ever conversation/research they find interesting. 3. Whether or not you are consciously doing action research, you constantly have data available to inform learning. How do you define **'data'?** 4. Why should data inform teaching and learning? 5. What are ways we can document learning, so that we have data to use to inform teaching and learning? 6. Whose role is it to document learning and why? 7. What’s the difference between documentation OF learning and documentation FOR learning? 8. How best can we use data to inform teaching and improve learning? 9. Continue this conversation throughout the coming week/s in a slow chat...
