Action Researches for School Life

WEEK 2 REFLECTION

In this week's assignment, I read the next chapter of the class textbook. What I gathered from reading this chapter was that the major focal points of this chapter were to disclose nine targeted areas in which many school leaders perform action research. In my opinion each of the nine targeted areas are what schools must have as a potential background or basic foundation in order for student achievement and learning to foster. In the text, the author describes these nine areas as major wondering of school administrators. The areas of questioning/wondering are as follows: (1) Staff development, (2) Curriculum development, (3) Individual teachers, (4) Individual students, (5) School culture/community, (6) Leadership, (7) Management, (8) School performance, and (9) Social justice or equity issues (Dana, 2009). After reading this chapter, I understand why these nine areas are questioning areas of school leaders. Each of these targeted areas are pivotal to school /student improvement.
