Goldys, Pat; Kruft, Clare; Subrizi, Patti
Principal, v86 n4 p60-63 Mar-Apr 2007
A principal describes how she introduced the concept of action research in her school by encouraging teachers to analyze how their teaching practices impacted students' success and to look for ways to improve. During the course of a year, teams of teachers introduced and monitored innovative projects designed to meet students' specific needs in reading and math. Year-end data indicate that 75 percent of the school's 620 students benefited from the action research projects.
