Action Research I believe can be a great tool. The overall purpose of this is to provide organization of information, who is involved, a specific target and timeline. This is like a less evasive improvement plan. Even though this is not the purpose of this to be a improvement plan. It reminds me of a simpler version. I think action research offers a good template for organization purposes. This form gives and administrator or a leader the right information to create a plan for various improvements. For example, if a department is looking for a way to increase district-wide standardized test scores, they could identify the area of need, the persons responsible, the time frame, and what the end results should look like. This gives you a method of determining what goals are needed, which are met and which still need improvement.
I see myself using this in many areas of school improvements. I could use it with custodial staff, teachers, CO content area people. In my mind it is a quick way to address area of quick needs.
