Week 2 Reflection-EDLD 5301

After reading chapter 2 in the Dana text, I feel like I really now have a grasp on what action research is and how it can be used by teachers and administration to help improve their practice.  Action research does not have to be done over just one topic, there are a broad amount of topics that you can cover.  I like how the text gave examples of action research that has been done previously by principals in the nine major areas of school leaders.  It showed my how important action research is and that if I want to see improvement in my practice as an administrator or in my school, then it would be best to self-reflect and inquire in action research projects to improve.  I learned that participating in action research is something that needs to be done to see improvement in your schools and to grow as an administrator.
