Submission Instructions: This must be a school based Issue

Assignment: Action Research Project (a program assessment that you will also submit into Tk20 in Module 4)

The Action Research PowerPoint Report consists of 12-15 slides. In these slides, you will:

· identify the topic/problem/issue you chose to address

· describe the context where the issue resides, noting the size and other data about the site.

· include in your literature review what is known about the issue from others who have studied the same issue

· describe how you went about implementing the treatment (what you did differently).

· state what you consider success (goals/objectives).

· describe how you collected and analyzed the data.

· state the findings.

· discuss implications of findings to future action research possibilities.

Your other courses have addressed issues that should have helped with the action research project. Your responsibility was to select a project and work through the action research steps. Now you get to pull everything together in the presentation. The Action Research Project was a learning experience and now you get to present what you learned before, during and after the experience.

The PowerPoint should include the following:

· Title page - title of your study, your name, work location/affiliation and date

· Problem - topic/problem/issue you chose to address 

· Context - where the issue resides, noting the size and other data about the site

· Describe your action research problem statement as it relates to emerging trends and initiatives and importance of bringing about school improvement. How will you prepare for innovations?

· Literature Review - what literature and research is known about the issue from others who have studied the same issue/problem/topic

· Describe in your literature review section how to research and plan for influence local, district, state, and national decisions affecting student learning in a school environment. How will you communicate process and policies to stakeholders?

· Purpose/Goals/Objectives - what did you hope to accomplish, what you consider success or the desired outcome

· Share how the purpose of your action research project contributed to a shared vision of learning for the school. How could it help build capacity and promote improvement and positive change? How did you evaluate the project? How will you facilitate transformational change?

· Methods - describe how you went about exploring the problem or implementing the treatment (what you did differently)

· Data - provide information about how did you collected it, from what sources or individuals (subjects)

· Analysis - how did you make sense of the data you collected

· Findings - what happened when you completed your study - intended and unintended outcomes

· Conclusions - given your work, what do you now know

· Implications/Future action research possibilities - what is next in exploring your topic/problem/issue

· References - list research that helped you in your work
