This document provides guidance for an assignment in an education course to reflect on how action research can improve student learning. It explains that action research is an iterative process that encourages teachers and leaders to continuously learn and improve. As reflective practitioners, students will engage in deep thought about how to solve problems and drive change. For the assignment, students must explain in one paragraph how continuous improvement through action research can inform progress in a school, community, or organization. They must also describe in two paragraphs how the specific action research study they conducted will generally improve student learning. Students are asked to respond to at least two peers by asking questions to further discussion and considering the perspective of teachers, administrators, or other personnel involved in their study.

Impact Reflection
As you have learned throughout your program, action research is primarily about
encouraging teachers and other leaders to be continuous and reflective learners in
their specific practice. Action research is considered a work in progress. It is
iterative. Action research has strong implications for various types of organizations
and can be an incentive in improving student learning, specifically. As part of
becoming a reflective practitioner, you will engage in the process of deep thought
and deliberation of the ways that you can become problem solvers and change
agents (Buczynski & Hansen, 2014).
Initial Post: Prepare for your initial post by reflecting on all you have learned
through this course. In your post, explain in at least one paragraph and using
scholarly resources to support your assertions how the continuous improvement
efforts through the use of action research can inform progress of a
school/community/organization. Then, in at least two paragraphs, describe how the
action research implemented in this study will generally improve student learning.

2. Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. In your responses, consider asking
questions of your peers about their responses to encourage further conversation. In
your replies, look through the lens of the lens of the teacher, administrator, or other
personnel that was involved in your study. Consider what their perception or
reaction may be in response to the action research study that was implemented. As
has been the advice throughout this course, though two replies is the basic
expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide
responses to any comments or questions others have given to you including the
instructor to further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to
demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences
with this topic.
