Okay, so things didn't go the way I planned. I didn't get everything I wanted out of my action research project. In fact, just like life can throw you a curve my Action research threw me a few.
The only thing I have as consolation is the change I was trying to make happen, while initiated by my actions, and stalled by "leadership" continued to happen as more people saw the value of it and THEY communicated to the leadership. At some point I discovered that what was out of MY control, was well within theirs. I have had to be flexible enough in my own leadership to let go, and let others carry the change.
Now that it is nearing end and as I prepare to move on to greener pastures I am able to see what I initiated being put forth by leadership as a good idea for all staff to invest time and energy in in the coming years.
