Week 2 Reflection

After completing this week's assignment, I have learned that the current trend for school leaders is to lead by example through the process of action research. It has now become an expectation for teachers to also engage in their own action research in addition to being knowledgeable of instructional techniques and course content. I also learned about the different common research topics in the school settings and why they are important to the development of student success. I am currently leaning to explore how enrichment courses or student activities directly impact student data such as attendance rates, student discipline, grades, and test scores.
