Hi Everyone! For all who believe that the children are the future, please take time to respond to my reflections as an aspiring administrator. I thank you in advance. Action Research is a way to reflect on any issues or problems that you believe your campus is facing and to make inquiries on effective methods of solving those problems. Prinicpals and teachers are busy with multitasking and micro/macro managing people, personalities and individual responsibiliteis daily. We must take and make time to reflect on our effectiveness or lack there of and action research is one way to do so. Every campus, teacher, prinicpal, and community desires a positive, intellectual, and progressive student body & culture but that is not always the case. Educators must find creative and effective ways to create this strong scholastic system; the responsibility falls on the leadership.

I have learned that ACTION RESEARCH is critical skill that administrators and teachers need to develop. It provides an avenue for educators to concentrate on student achievement while discussing and reflecting the effective classroom habits of students and teachers. We can use this both as a staff and individually. I can take the steps of reflecting on a specific issue, collaborate with my stakeholders, and creating a action plan which will lead to an action project. I will have to monitor this plan and fix its weaknesses. I can use this as a way to focus on an issue and attack it productively and effectively.
