CIEP 466 - 001

This course is designed to provide students with the information on constructing a school-based, action-research project that addresses a problem of practice within a school system. Students will learn the fundamentals of defining a problem of practice in a school setting, developing a robust literature review, designing an evidence-based implementation plan to address the problem of practice, and designing data organization tools to evaluate the implementation plan. While much of the information provided can be used to develop any kind of action research or systems change project, there will be a focus on developing the Capstone Project. Through this course you will learn skills to address problems in schools and districts, as well as address the requirements for the Capstone. Students will receive primary assistance on their own Capstone Project with their project chair.
