Looking at Real Life Research Examples

I enjoyed reading about the 9 areas that are usually focused on in schools. All the examples where very informative and helped me to see a clear picture of questions or wanderings that educators have. All of the examples included collaboration during the research and after. Teachers were encouraged to do action research also. The administrators were not just focusing on developing the teachers but on developing themselves as well. Many of the research topics were relevant and I am sure that the information they gathered was very useful for their campus. I enjoyed picking my principal's brain about ideas. He helped me by giving me many suggestions that made me really think about the route I wanted to take my research. Listening to veteran principals talking about action research was very inspiring. It gave a reality of what the course is really about.
