About Us

We are a group of scholars, practitioners, teachers, and counselors. We make use of Action Research as a tool for improving our work and the work of our students.  Several of us also are involved with action research projects in the larger community, including consulting with schools, school districts, and community organizations on improving practices through the use of action research. Through needs assessments, research-based actions, and structured collaborative reflection we endeavor to improve practices and to assist others in improving practices in the field of education.  Over the past 7 years, we have witnessed a major increase in the amount and quality of action research studies conducted at our university, amongst our departments, and by our students.  We are excited about the work that is ahead as we expand action research as a practice throughout the School of Leadership and Education Sciences and in the greater San Diego region.
