This course has been an eye opener for me regarding the function of action research within the school environment. Simply stated, action research is a continual interactive and reflection process that gives voice to the "people who work in the trenches of the school building on a daily basis and are therefore best positioned to understand and better the educational experiences for all members of the schoolhouse" (Dana, pg 5). The supports of strategies for data collection, assessing the quality of inquiry, and sustaining improvement have given me the foundational tools needed to plan effectively and move forward.
