9 Areas of Importance

This week in my masters class we worked on giving examples of action research in nine areas of importance. These nine areas are of major importance to school leaders. These nine areas include: staff development, curriculum development, individual teachers, individual students, school culture/community, leadership, management, school performance, and social justice or equity issues. These nine areas benefit from action research projects because an action research can gain more insight in to any problem or situation that might occur in any one of these nine areas. An action research can help by allowing the school leaders to collect and analyze data that surrounds the situation, and then the school leaders can collaborate together to find a solution and share the final outcome or changes. This is significant to these nine areas because these nine areas keep schools running smoothly and efficiently. Thus, an action research is beneficial in any area, but for education, these nine areas use action research as a guide to focus on school improvement.
