As I read Leading with passion and knowledge: The principal as action researcher by Nancy Fichman Dana, I realized that action is very important for success in your school. In Chapter 2 Dana discusses the 9 areas in which we can find wonder.
- Staff Development
- Curriculum Development
- Individual Teacher(s)
- Individual Student(s)
- Community/Culture Building
- Leadership Skills
- Management
- School Performance
- Social Justice
I became more and more excited as I read through the chapter. All of these areas are very important. It is necessary for the principal to study his/her school and make sure that the research is necessary and is practical for the situation. After finishing the text, I felt so much better about my action research topic. My action research topic is "How will goal-setting increase student achievement?"
