Week 2 Reflection/Comments
I gained a tremendous amount of valuable information about action research in this week's readings and videos. The school leaders provided insightful information and wisdom on how research can increase student success on campuses and in the entire school district. After reading in Leading with Passion and Knowledge: The Principal as Action Researcher, by Nancy Fitchman Dana-pp.29-68, pp. 93-94 (ch. 2), I was able to understand why action research is needed and increases student success in a school; weither its directly or indirectly related to student acheivement. After viewing the videos and reading Chapter 2 I believe I was able to identify three topics for an action reseasrch project that will benefit my school campus a great deal and am looking foward to discussing these topics with my site supervisor.

I also feel that we got a lot of insight this week into action research and why we need it. There are always questions that arise in our profession and action research gives us the ability to get data that is practical and relevant to our individual issues which could also give options to other schools as well. Good luck with your research topic.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the suggestions from the three school leaders as well. After watching the interviews I felt inspired to look for help in solving problems from other educators that have experienced something similar along the way. The more we study about Action Research, the more I realize its necessity for staying up-to-date with today's educational demands.
