description This case study investigates the cyclical nature of action research and its impact on in-class learning support. It illustrates the implementation of action research in a single classroom environment as a method for promoting teacher learning and improving outcomes for a student with learning and behavioural difficulties. In-class support encouraged greater understanding of the context in which students with learning and behavioural difficulties operate, and the culture of collaboration that emerged had a positive impact on the regular class teacher and the learning support teacher.
