COURSE OVERVIEW
This course will define the cyclical process of action research in a classroom setting, and how it drives continuous improvement. You will learn the steps of the process that include identifying a problem, reviewing current literature, formulating a solution, testing the solution, analyzing data, making a conclusion, and sharing the results. By the end of the course, you will have completed an action research cycle and have a standardized approach to implementing future action research projects into your classroom. In this course you will design an action plan for your classroom, develop an additional resource to support your plan, and analyze research to support implementation in the classroom. The course ends with you designing an implementation plan designed to ensure you are successfully incorporating the lesson concepts, ideas, and resources into a future lesson.
