How Educational Leaders Might Use Blogs
Blogs provide a new and evolving tool that educational leaders can use to capture active reflection, display action research as it unfolds, and model their commitment to being life-long learners.
Dominic, I don't know about you, but as I read about action research (or administrative inquiry, or whatever else it is called), I kept wondering why we haven't seen this model before this class. Your comment about the difference it could make in professional development is correct - I hear so many comments on the district PD we are required to attend. I wonder what would the result would be if just one school created their own campus PD based on this model. Maybe there is one campus in our district that has done that - are you aware of any? It would be great to get feedback from their faculty if there was one. Changing the way PD is presented may have to go from the bottom up (individual campuses first then the district).
