EDUC-C&I 5595      Action Research For Practitioners
This course comprises a guided graduate research paper experience. Course participants will work together to plan individual action research studies related to diverse, urban schooling. This course is designed to enable practitioners to engage in systematic inquiry on some aspect of their practice in order to find out more about that practice and eventually improve it. Participants in the course are expected to put their assumptions, ideas and practices to the test by gathering, analyzing and drawing conclusions from evidence. Prerequisites: This course is to be taken during the last year of degree study. Course enrollment requires faculty advisor approval and a minimum 3.0 GPA. Participation in this course entails a field placement for research purposes. If a placement in a school is required, students will need to complete a TB test and submit fingerprints for the standard Background Check process by the start of the semester. Any costs associated with these tests are the responsibility of the student. All course participants are further required to obtain a LiveText subscription.
