Action Research

Action research is going to be a wonderful tool to use. Action research allows administrators to be able to implements a process that will engage the staff in a practice that will create engagement of teachers,parents, students and any other personnel. Being able to go through the action research process allows its participants to communicate with its peers on matters of mutual concern. It gives you several options on the topics that are being discussed. You can share ideas, strategies, and concepts all while learning different ways from others. Action research allows administrators the chance to surround themselves with staff that can have meaning conversations about a topic and be able to put into practice some of the strategies that have been discussed. It allows one to take on the role as a facilitator of some engaging conversations. This process can bring about some ways of implementing best practices by examining the best case scenarios in classrooms. Action research allows administrators to become role models as their campus discovers something that will allow them to take ownership of what it being taught, which in turn will allow the teachers to do the same thing in the classrooms and sets in motion the same process as students begin to take ownership for their own role in their own learning. I believe that I am going to implement actions research through PLCs most often. Professional Learning Communities (PLC) are a great way for administrators and staff to come together to explore avenues in which a campus can decide the best practices for student success.
