Osterman and Kottkamp (1993) provide a wonderful rationale for
action research as a professional growth opportunity in their “credo
for reflective practice.”
• Everyone needs opportunities for professional
growth.
• All professionals want to improve.
• All professionals can learn.
• All professionals assume responsibility for
professional growth and development.
• People need and want information about their
performance.
• Collaboration enriches professional development.
