Action research is live. It is what educators do, it isn’t done to us. We collectively think of an area, formulate a question and set in place ways to improve it. As an inquirer you implement plans to make changes and the take time to reflect on the changes. Evaluate the situation, identify the strength of the changes and identify new needs and set forth another plan to better the current situation. Action research, Administrator Inquiry is a living breathing thing. It is ongoing. Its taking your school problems ( complaints from teachers) and putting into action ways to fix these problems. You look at the problem and identify step by step ways to better the situation. I like the ex. in the book that talks about not making your question ( the problem) to wordy. Cut to the chase, find the root and get busy. Its a ongoing ( through reflection) systematic approach to problem solving.
