 Course Concepts

In an age of accountability at all levels of our educational structure, it has become vitally important to understand the linkage between assessment, learning, and action research. It is the assumption that learners come into this course with a solid understanding of assessment and the role it plays in teaching and learning. The basics of assessment will be reviewed and linked to a wide range of strategies to improve learning in our Pre-K-16 educational structure. Action research is the tool many educators use as they “repair the plane while it is in flight.” The more proactive the leader is in the use of action research the more quickly logical changes can take place.

I can apply my knowledge of action research plans to my future as an educator. I can be sure that I am implementing and utilizing research plans in an effective way and understanding their importance on classroom curriculum. I can also be sure that if I decide to utilize another action research plan in my own school curriculum, I have a better understanding of which action research plan resources can be implemented in my own class. This class can positively impact my career by allowing me to grow as an educator in terms of knowledge-based learning and understanding how to effectively use an action research plan in my classroom or in my journey to moving to the administrative side of education.
