Action Research – What it Means to You     
You already learned that action research is a type of inquiry used  to describe professionals studying their own practice for the purpose of  inspiring the change process. According to the North Central Regional  Educational Laboratory as cited by (“Action Research”, n.d., para 1),  “Action research is inquiry or research in the context of focused  efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance.  It typically is designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the  data to improve their own practice.” This week you begin the  implementation of your action research. Congratulations! You have spent a  considerable amount of time in the thoughtful planning and development  of your study. Now is the exciting time to begin collecting data.  Furthermore, in one of the discussions in Week Four, you explain key  leadership styles, strategies and responsibilities of the school  personnel, community organization, or own children with which you are  observing during the implementation of your action research project.
