Action Research Communities (ARCs) are ways members create small but active groups of people who want to share resources, strategies, practices and ideas around a specific topic. They are established as the needs and interests of ARNA members evolve. At present we have a number of groups that have started, with some more active than others. We are also encouraging the formation of new groups.
To join a community or to create a new group, please contact co-chairs Aubrey Uresti (auresti@ucdavis.edu) and Suzy Thomas (sthomas@stmarys-ca.edu)

Supporting the Teaching of Action Research (STAR)
Our STAR community works collaboratively in a learning circle to provide resources, ideas, and strategies to support the teaching of action research. We have developed a website with topics and resources, a STAR newsletter published 3x a year around teaching issues and strategies, and a weekly Action Research Teaching blog for more interaction among members around ideas, methods, and strategies for supporting the teaching of action research. We also hold bi-monthly Chats on topics of interest to action researchers open to all on the first Wednesday of every other month. These are recorded and available on the STAR-C website.
