Plan, Act, Develop, Reflect

I enjoyed the article about Action Researchers. This method is very beneficial to teachers and/or administrators. This should definitely be an ongoing process for improvement. There are four steps that should be followed in this method: plan, act, develop, and reflect. In the planning portion, you decide what problem you want to look at or fix. In the next stage, act, you put the action in play that you think is going to fix the problem. Thirdly, in the development stage you review the result. Lastly, you reflect on the information and decide what route you need to take. You decide what worked and what didn't work. As I stately previously, this should be an ongoing process because there should always something you need to improve on.
