Sequence For Reflective Practitioner Program: Analysis Phase

Outcomes and Performances: Teacher Action Research Prospectus Presentation

The coursework at the analysis phase of Master’s programming will culminate in the creation of a prospectus presentation related to the candidate’s teacher action research project. This project is completed as a final outcome of Education 631, Analysis of Instruction. The presentation will represent an individual candidate’s organization and understanding of course-related and professional development knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to their action research topic.

The prospectus is of a specified format, requiring candidates to create a 6 slide power point with the following information:

Slide 1 - Title, Name, Site of Research
Slide 2 - Research Question
Slide 3 - Pertinent information from literature review
Slide 4 - Method
Slide 5 - Subjects
Slide 6 - General findings to date
Slide 7 - Relevance to teaching and classroom

The prospectus study topic will be presented to a committee of three (which require at least two faculty, one of whom must be the faculty teaching the Synthesis phase Education 674 course during the candidate’s final term) to be chosen by the candidate to review their performance.

Completion of the synthesis phase will only occur after the candidate has:

    1. completed 30 hours of coursework, and
    2. successfully presented their analysis phase teacher action research prospectus.
