This week has given me more insight to action research and different ways to utilize it in teaching. There are 9 different areas of passion regarding inquiry and action research. They are:
- Staff development
- Curriculum development
- Individual teacher(s)
- Individual student(s)
- School culture/community
- Leadership
- Management
- School performance
- Social justice
I have learned that action research is constantly in effect on my campus. I've participated in book studies to help better understand learners and it helped an administrator gain new perspective. Myself and others also gained new information we apply to our daily teaching. My mentor and principal has used action research to gain our opinion and feedback about her as a leader. This was a different approach as she shared the results and feedback with us at a faculty meeting. The constructive criticism was used to help her be a more effective and communicative leader.
I plan on doing my action research based on a leveled literacy program that is new this year. As the grade level leader, I am going to use the student information and apply it to the duration of the program, its effects after, and how students utilize it within the classroom.
