Heard of “Action Research”? Action Research is a professional research method that empowers individuals, in this case teaching artists, to consistently improve, clarify impact, and to strengthen proposals and projects for funders. The significant factor in action research is that those involved do the research alongside implementation, which can guide direction and add credibility and accountability to the work. This Think Tank, which shared practical examples of action research, distilled practices through user-friendly approaches to ensure that participants could leave with their own action research project ready to go.‍
