Administration inquiry refers to the process of a principal engaging in a systematic, intentional study of his/her own administrative practice taking action for change based on what he she/learns as a result of the inquiry. (Dana, N.F. (2009)).
Through action research, administrators can reflect in their own practices asking questions about what they think are the issues that are affecting their schools. Reading relevant literature and making investigations about the issue that is being under study, administrators can share their findings with others.
Working in collaboration is an important step in action research. Getting together, informal or formally, administrators can share their best practices and can share relevant resources and strategies that they are using in their schools that are helping their students to achieve at higher levels.
As administrators, we understand that there are a lot of things to do inside the classroom and sometimes we forget that becoming a long term learner is very important. Being a role model for our students and teachers will help all of them to understand the importance of academic achievement. As administrators, we need to schedule time to research about those issues that are relevant to the school and becoming active learners, we will be capable to provide students, teachers, and parents with adequate information to help them walk through the rough spots of change.
Change takes time, but through formulating a question, making investigation, conducting research, gathering data and analyzing the data, we can improve the quality of our schools and we can help our students to achieve at higher levels.
Using blogs can help administrators to share best practices, literature and research about different educational and leadership topics. Blogs are useful to keep in touch with other professionals interested in the same themes and they are very useful know a days due to the busy schedules of administrators.
