TE861 C-Action Research in K-12 Science/ Math Classrooms
Instructor: A. Slaton
This class was designed to teach educators how to objectively research situations in classrooms and schools. Action research gives educators the tools they need to make changes in education. One of the projects in the course was to collect data on a student and use the data to create an intervention plan for that student. We also tracked student progress after implementing the plan to see if there was any improvement in the situation.
