Week 2 Action Research

Wonderings happen in real-world observations, dilemmas, felt difficulties, and passions that educators and administrators go through daily (Dana, Nancy, 2009). The Dana text points to nine different but related areas where one can find their first inquiry. She classifies them as:
1. Staff development

2. Curriculum development
3. Individual teacher(s)
4. Individual student(s)
5. School culture/community
6. Leadership
7. Management
8. School performance
9. Social justice or equity issues
The book supplies wonderful examples of each area and the thought processes of administrators.
