What I have learned with regard to Action Research
I have learned that action research is important in becoming the "head learner" in our schools. We need to understand how to use the action research process for proposing new ideas, for making changes, and for evaluating initiatives already in place. Not only do we need to understand its use, but we need to be able to model its use for our faculty members. Being able to model the action research process will encourage teacher leadership and engagement. The result of action research benefits the entire school community.

I was excited to hear that you have a shared interest with ELLs! I couldn't agree with you more about being a "head learner" when you are a principal. It is so important to be informed about the decisions you are making within the school. Through action research you are not only making informed decisions, but validating them through your research and follow up. Nothing like having data to back up your decisions!
