It takes so much to be an administrator. I so have a new found outlook about them,
because until I started perusing my master’s I ready did not understand how
much they do and have to figure out.
There are so many aspects to action research. But I do have to comment on one of the
interviews that we had to preview for our assignment. Dr. Johnny Briseno, Principal of Rancho
Isabella Elementary, Angleton ISD. I
just liked his interview because it was action research about the
children. Students’ identity comes
before the data. (Briseno,
2013) Students fuel the data anyway so why not find out how the students learn,
their weakness, strengths, etc. and share them with teachers if they have a
student with similar problems. Part of
my answer for the question in the assignment was this: Reflecting on Dr. Briseno, the children are
placed before the numbers, because the children causes the numbers. If something is affecting the student, they
might not do well as they have before.
Taking the time to research the student as a whole and sharing with
other teachers can help the student be successful because the teacher knows how
to service that particular student.
Also, it opens the door for the teacher to evaluate themselves and the
student, in their teaching style, and being a good action researcher. They begin to dig deeper into the problem and
begin to try to correct it.

Student connection is crucial, because if they know you care, then they will follow. When reaching and teaching, keep the old mind set that the varied range of techniques used for different learners this helps to keep them engaged and connected in the classroom. CBookhamer
