This website has been developed to explain the role of the action researcher and for visual learners like myself, who need a visual view of what a written action plan would look along with the procedures. According to Tom Russell (1999), a faculty member of education at Queen’s University, action research describes professionals who study their profession to improve upon it.

It should also be utilized to determine the areas students need assistance in and interventions that might need to be put in place for students.

One commonality between the ARPP and the first three stages of the action research was the diagnostic phase in defining the problem.
