Week 2 Reflection

This week we reflected on how school leaders identify areas of need in which they conduct research plans. Some of the areas which the textbook identified were staff development, curriculum development, individual teachers, individual students, school culture/community, leadership, management, school performance, and social justice or equity issues. Each area contains many different topics which can be important for action research. For example, in the area of staff development, one might research how professional development at a school with many new teachers can best aid new teachers while promoting growth in veteran staff.
Although all the catagories have high importance in an educational setting, which topic an educational leader chooses to address should align with the school's mission and vision for progress.
