This week I learned about the nine common areas of action research. They are staff development, curriculum development, individual teacher(s), individual student(s), community/culture building, leadership, management, school performance, and social justice. I feel that all areas are utterly important and necessary for administrators and teachers. The ultimate goal of any of the nine passions mentioned in Nancy Fichtman Dana book, Leading with Passion and Knowledge: The Principal as Action Researcher, is to increase student achievement. As I reflect on this weeks reading assignment, I realize that my principal has researched about each of the nine areas. I can understand why she develops strategies and techniques to improve student success in reading and overall school performance. It is crucial for principals to inquire about areas of concern within the campus and research ways improve those areas. Inquiry is powerful!
