Description
The purpose of this course is the development of a proposal for classroom action research. Participants will be expected to reflect on their classroom practice, develop action research questions, and design a practical investigation. Action research questions will be related to the implementation of the New York State Learning Standards. Topics may include cooperative learning, special education, multi-culturalism, inclusion, multiple intelligences, special education second language learning technology, and other topics related to current research and practice in the teaching-learning process. The long-range course outcome is for teachers to become career-long learners, using action research to inform instruction. Both whole class instruction and individual consultations with the instructor will be scheduled.
