I have enjoyed watching the three scholars discuss the different ways that action research is being utilized in their school or district. All three were encouraging about the process and procedures used for inquiry. I am a teacher because I love making difference for students and their learning. After watching the interviews, I felt that the action research was always used for making the best decisions for instructional strategies that were effective for students. I also felt challenged to continue my own growth and learning, not only with this process, but through other's research as well. That is the great thing about following BLOGS....I can learn from other leaders and expand my ideas that will eventually improve my teaching and leadership abilities.
The nine areas that I read about for administative inquiry were: staff development, curriculum development, individual teachers, individual students, school culture/community, leadership, management, school performance, and socail justice. I found that every area had value and importance for action research. I thought the examples and shared situatiions gave insight to many future questions that I could explore as a leader.
