Some of these educators have taught action research courses for many years and continue to support action research in retirement and others are just beginning their tenure supporting action researchers. We have met regularly during and between ARNA conferences for the past five years to think about strategies, issues, and resources to support the teaching of action research. Our website http://star-arna-arc.org is the central station for all of our projects and provides forms for contacting us. In the spirit of action research, we continue to evolve.
