As a potential administrator I think it is important that the leader of the campus be the "head learner" on campus. It is empowering for those on campus to work with a leader that models what they preach. I think action research when done effectively could be the road to exponential growth for a school. So many times school and the individuals in them recognize the problems of their campus or their individual classrooms and do not take the necessary steps to improve. I think this is a problem because we ask students to do this very behavior, though we do not always model it for them. I think schools are an evolving being in themselves, always changing. If schools do not constantly and persistently adapt then they will not meet the needs of their changing student body. At an elementary school with 750 students and 100 staff members there is constant evolution and change.

Writing a journal or blogging seems like a great way to really focus on and narrow in on specific behaviors or procedures an administrator wants to improve. With journals and blogs, the writer is able to constantly reflect and refine what they write until they get to the specific problem behaviors they may want to change.
