The action research lab was an excellent experience for me. Through my participation I learned better how to motivate my senior students and I believe I have become a better, more reflective educator. I look forward to refining my study in the future. I think that next year I will search for more ways of motivating my students by trying to incorporate actual internships and volunteer experiences into my class projects. I remain thoroughly committed to real world projects and hopefully I will be able to place some more authentic experiences into my curriculum.
