Week 2-Selecting an Action Research Topic

This week I had the opportunity to see how action research benefit leaders and stakeholders in educational settings. Nine areas were identified by school leaders as needing further research and I was able to aid in that process by selecting topics of interest. Also, three scholar practitioners were able to tell the importance of conducting action research in the educational environment to impact student performance. The common theme agmonst the scholars were to choose a topic that was practical, focused, and had relevance to helping student achievement. Last but not least I was able to identify my proposed action research topic which was, "How does utilizing a research based workshop approach over a traditional instructional approach improve student learning?" I look forward to the wealth of information that I would learn about this topic throughout this course.
