Week 2 Reflection- After navigating through week two, I
have been impressed with two important lessons. First, I learned that active
research is a critical obligation for an administrator. This week’s readings
and videos were full of examples of how various administrators used the
research process to improve their schools. Many administrators stress how
important doing research and collecting data is when instituting improvements
to their school. In fact, many administrators stressed that research and data
analysis is arguably the most important responsibility their position demands.
Secondly, a simple yet valuable
lesson I learned was that when beginning a research plan an administrator must
practice practicality. It is easy to be enamored by the newest theoretical
academic practices. However, an administrator must closely examine and listen
to the immediate needs of his or her school. When an administrator decides on a
research plan, it must be a practical one that ultimately addresses the specific needs of their
school.
