Action Research

During week two, I have learned many different aspects of action research. According to Dana (2009), there are nine major wonderings of many school leaders: staff development, curriculum development, individual teacher(s), individual student(s), school culture/community, leadership, management, school performance, and social justice or equity issues. In order to run a school in excellence, these nine major areas need to be researched and reviewed so that strengths and weakness are exposed. As an administrator, I will allow teachers to preform action research; this will allow reliable and campus specific data to be collected.  As a result of teachers conducting action research, real problems and solutions will be revealed.
