As an
educator there are times that I’ve questioned myself and wondered what I could
have done better or how I could reach more students. It seems that action research will help me in
several ways. By helping me formulate a
wondering that will impact my teaching or my school. These questions will allow me to investigate areas
for personal growth and for the impact of student achievement. My wanderings will take me on a journey that
will allow me to collect data, analyze results and formulate plans that will
impact students. As a principal the
experience will keep me focused on the true purpose of a principal which is to
impact the students, the teachers and the community. It will help keep me connected to other
principals or to teachers as we collaborate to propel our school and students
to a higher level of achievement and success.
I feel the
most important thing about action research is that it will give me time to
explore and time to change my thought process.
It will be a part of something I am involved in and care about. A problem
or a concern which I see and want to change.
Our beliefs are not always in line with what we do. Sometimes it is because we
see other evidence that makes the challenge harder. But having the opportunity to really evaluate
the data and make adjustments along the way can really change our stand, our
beliefs, and our willingness to overcome obstacles.
I am excited
about the possibilities ahead.
