Action research is a tool, which administrators can use to
investigate and solve issues with students, teachers, or themselves. When a concern has been
identified and action research is implemented to resolve the problems, then the
campus can learn and grow together. After the concern is identified, the
action research consists of posing
a question, collecting data to analyze, and making necessary changes to ensure
improvement. This process will
provide administrators with complex yet productive results due to its power and
generation of knowledge. Conducting action research also allows
principals to tackle problems at their schools and make informed decisions to
solve the problem. Through collaboration amongst leaders, change will take
place for the school.
Action research will allow me to move forward with
a reading concern I have. I have
seen a correlation between low comprehension and low fluency, yet there is little time to fit fluency
instruction and practice into the schedule. I would
like to know how fluency impacts the comprehension skills of these two grade
levels and what impact explicit fluency instruction has on reading
comprehension and reading levels. Through
this action research I can then share my research data and work with teachers
on implanting various fluency activities in the classroom.
