A flow chart showing the overview steps for Metro Group's Action Research Plan. The chart shows the Action Research Plan question: "How to address and reduce the extended wait for a tutor that some learners experience in the community based literacy networks?" in the middle of the diagram and four steps surrounding the question. Step 1 - Problem Posing: Learning “barriers” cause extended waits times for learners to be matched with a tutor; Step 2 - Planning: Set up PD on learning “barriers” for tutors; Step 3 - Observing: Through the use of: a) questionnaires, b) journals c) focus groups and Step 4 - Reflecting: What worked? What did not work? Where to go from here?
