Action research is the wondering and inquiries that practitioners engage in in systematic, intentional study of his/her own administrative practice and taking action for change based on what he/she learns as a result of the inquiry. Administrative inquiry are the questions and reflections that make the administrator take action based on data, questions and observations. Practitioners are engaged in the design, data collection and interpretation of of data.
Action research consists of reflection and action (Elliot 1988). Action research identifies a problem, formulates a plan to resolve the problem or concern, then actively implement the plan; which coins the term "action research."
Administrators gain a better understanding of themselves, leadership, teachers and the practices that lead to school improvements (Dana, 2009, p.3).
As an administrator, I will utilize the action research plan to actively inquire, analyze, reflect and ultimately change the areas of concerns within my school, professional and leadership communities. By actively being involved and engaged in educational settings, I will be able to interact with the school's students, teachers and staff collectively. I will implement flourishing practices to move the school as a whole toward shared goals and achievements, while learning how to breathe often and slowdown for positive proactive implementations.
