Importance of Action Research


This week’s assignments were to reflect on two action research projects that were effective for two administrators.  I was interested to see the variety of projects and I was happy that they were based on specific needs of the schools.  I think that it is so important for people in the field of education to continue to grow professionally so that their students’ receive the best possible education.  Action research is a great tool to use to continue to grow professionally.  It gives a relevant purpose for the action research study because it derives from the needs of the school.  There are countless projects that can be done in the nine passions of administrators.  I also like how they are labeled as passions, because one must be passionate about educating children!  I have come up with three ideas for action research projects that fit in with my internship plan.  I am looking forward to hearing about what my site supervisor thinks about them.  Unfortunately, Hurricane Irene hit and school has been canceled for an entire week.  The Internet is down, so I have not been able to email my ideas to my site supervisor or even to post this blog.
