  Abstract: Action research has become a core part of professional learning communities (PLCs) in North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale Public Schools, with an emphasis on small-scale projects. Instructional coaches and district leaders have developed a structure to support PLCs in engaging in worthwhile action research, even when PLC members have minimal background and experience. I will discuss projects completed by the physics PLC, including a year-long examination of student self-assessments on unit quizzes and single-lesson interventions to improve student performance on experimental design problems based on the AP Physics 1 exam.
