Previous to this week my view of action research was limited to just research online. However, I now have a more expansive view of action research to include classroom research done by a teacher to better know the student's learning styles and progress. Action research can also include researching social justice and equity issues along with school culture/climate to gather valuable information concerning local students and community.
This type of research can include research done in the classroom, using data accumulated by the school district such as student test scores, and student, teacher, and parent surveys. Information and ideas can be gathered that an administrator can use to make a decision concerning a process or routine.

I also had some eye opening information about research. I like how it talked about classroom research also. I found out just through reading the material that as a teacher I was already doing quite a bit of action research. Good luck with your plan Marlin. I look forward to seeing it.
