action research

After listening to the three scholars, several things became evident to me about action research, such as, the used of the information obtained from it and the details on must go to in order to get unbiased information with out hurting department, individuals, ad students.   In order for effective teaching to take place, background research must occur.  A good educational leader researches areas of concern and the causes of these areas.  Data is an important piece in the action research process.  Each of the speakers stated how they used data to drive their decisions on their campus.  Using the data that has been collected to make decisions enables the educational leader to marvel at the results what can change and what needs to changed.  Educational leaders no longer have to wondering what and why caused they can now look at the results and formulate a recipe to cure the deficit.  Increasing the success of a campus depends on the ability of the educational leader to analyze data, formulate a plan based on the data and implement a workable plan to increase student and teacher success.
