After gaining some insight on action research I have come to find that it is a valuable tool that should be used not only by administrators, but also by staff and faculty as well. This will enable educators to become lifelong learners and grow as professionals while they continuously strengthen their practice. From my understanding action research is taking a simple wondering that affects your work practice and taking it upon yourself to investigate it an gain new knowledge over the matter. Furthermore, action research is guided by your specific thoughts and ideas, and therefore becomes more personal and beneficial for your campus.
As a new administrator in this always changing world I know I will be left with many wonderings and question many methods of practice I come across. With this in mind, action research will help me gain a better perspective on all of those thoughts. It will also guide me towards putting into use new information that is specifically geared towards the needs and wants of my campus not those of a general and broad audience.
Overall, if I continue to use action research in my career as an administrator or educator, my growth as a professional will become more valuable and centered on my community.
