Week 1: Action Research and Leadership Blogging

Action research is a insightful process that allows for inquiry and discussion as components of the investigation. Action research is an activity that is shared among colleagues searching for solutions to everyday problems experienced in campuses and districts, and enables the search for strategies to improve academic instruction, increase student achievement, and campus success. The process of action research assists campus leaders and educators in assessing needs, documenting the steps of inquiry, analyzing data, and making informed decisions that can lead to making informed decisions in order to generate successful outcomes. Action research allows leaders and their staff to address concerns and solve problems that are part of their daily worries, enabling them to influence actions appropriately and create a positive change.

Blogging is a great instrument that leaders can utilize to promote their leadership vision and mission. Blogs give the followers insight, information, and pointers to resources so they can do a better job and lead a campus to overall success. Leaders can also use blogs as a communication tool to inform their staff about updates, upgrades, campus expectations, instructions, and even serve as a catalyst for change. By reading a leaders blog, staff can better understand where he/she is coming from in order to deliver and improve their performance.
