Week 2 Assignment "The Passions that Drive your Journey"
This weeks assignment was very useful in helping me to understand Action Research. As we went through the first steps of the process, I wasn't sure if I was moving in the right direction. This week seems to have helped. I definitely understand more of what action research is and how it can benefit an educator. Identifying the 9 passions which drive research gives me some insight into becoming a better administrator. Several of the topics mentioned in the reading this week were things I had not even considered as part of becoming a principal. I have learned that as principal, being an example to my teachers will make a big difference in how well my ideas are accepted. I also think that I am better prepared to start framing a question for my own research project.
