More Thoughts on Action Research

Week two's assignment taught me that Action Research is a wonderful way to learn more about what is happening on your campus.  It involves the stakeholders, represents involvement rather than passive research or listening to what someone else suggests you do.  Action research can be a part of every aspect of running a campus, from management to school culture and community. Also, watching the videos of Dr. Kirk Lewis and Dr. Briseno confirmed what I have always felt about not having to "reinvent the wheel".  We have so little time, why not research what other districts are doing and see if any of their action research fits your needs.  Finally, I also agreed with their perspectives on researching something practical, then bringing results of your research back to your peers.
