Action Research

Action Research is something that has to be used as a principal or leader of any organization.  It is the only way to really evaluate your campus and what is really going on amongst the students and faculty.  In order to be successful you have to know what works and doesn't work.  Really focus on what is going to improve your campus and what is hurting your campus. 

In order to do this as a principal you have to address the problems head on and research why there is a problem and how you can solve it.  Research will make you more aware of what needs to be done to be more successful.  It will also educate the entire faculty about what needs to take place in the future to avoid such problems.  Every situation is different so things might have to be done differently than what is expected and if change needs to happen to ensure the success of students research can back that up. 

As a Action Research really benefits principals in growing as a leader and allows them to see what is best for their campus.  As a leader to become better you have to understand every part of your job and the action research is only going to help in the process of knowing exactly what is taking palce on campus.  Students and teachers will benefit knowing that the principal is actively involved in making the best decision for the students and campus based on research not solely on their personal beliefs.
