It was really interesting to see the interviews posted in our system. These interviews gave us realistic ideas of how to implement action research. When we first started I was thinking that action research should be a formal, tedious process. I have learned that it is just a normal part of being a leader or manager. An effective leader is always going to have a systematic checks and balances if he/she is for the improvement of campus achievement. A campus can not make strides if the data is not being considered.
The sample wonderings in the reading were also beneficial. They give you ideas of what things may need to be examined closely within your school or district. Like Dr. Lewis said, look at the research of others and translate it to meet the needs of your campus. Dr. Briseno also referenced researching what has already been researched. He expressed that we can learn from the works of others. We don't have to reinvent the wheel.
I am excited to have a new perspective on action research and look forward to conducting some research in my field.
