Scholar Interviews:
Dr. Johnny Briseno, Principal, Rancho Isabella Elementary,
Angleton ISD
Dr. Timothy Chargois, Director of Research, Planning, and
Development in Beaumont ISD
Principal Briseno explains how important it is to use data.
Identify the problem or source of the problem and then back up your information
with facts. Confidentiality is very important in the action research of the
school. Names are not given to outside sources but are generalized and may help
someone else in a study that they are doing. He finds that it works well if his
staff talks among one another to find strategies in helping their
students. Future leaders should research
and read in the area of interest for themselves. A lot of times there is
already information out there about topics.
Dr. Timothy Chargois explains how research can be used and
looked at in many different ways by different counterparts. It is important to have teachers who learn to
be data driven because this data can be used to impact the instruction of
tomorrow. One of the major keys to
research is its purpose to increase student performance. When conducting research, data must be
secured and proper procedures set in place.
In order to become a better teacher, never stop learning. Practice
research and use data to transform your own classroom.
This week I have learned that action research is very important in increasing student
performance and becoming better teachers as well as administrators. The
research should be data driven and based upon facts. Facts can be proven. Future leaders should realized the importance
of being life-long learners and learn how to research their own questions
through research. Action research can be
used to help the future of education by starting today.
