Education professionals use action research in a variety of ways to improve schools, student performance, and their own professional development and skills. In this course, education professionals examine a structured approach to the practice of action research. They learn how to address relevant problems, become involved in collaborative inquiry, use data and research to inform their practice, improve student academic success, and contribute to positive change in their classroom and school environments. Education professionals engage in reflective practices as they collect and analyze student data and develop and implement data-informed decisions/actions to improve student learning and enhance professional growth.
