A few AR+ suggestions as you plan your class/course/program in action research/ART:
Textbook
The Cooking with Action Research volumes are popular with students. They find them accessible, affordable and with good pictures and stories 🙂. The first volume contains cases, the second volume has many short pieces explaining concepts for practice. The third is bilingual (English/Spanish) with cases selected for their Latin & Caribbean focus.Â
