Step 2

STEP 2: Build on initial resources to get more knowledge - create an action plan

• Review your peers' questions about your topic - get these from LS. Add any relevant questions to your further research areas.
• Plan and delegate further research - based on “what we want to know now”, names, concepts, key terms from Step 1.
• Discuss and plan original research component. Ideas for original research:
  • Talk with an expert about your issue – teacher, principal, educational theorist, etc.
  • Gather local data – observe classes, spaces, policies at Hillsdale
  • Gather social data – interview or survey students, teachers, etc.
  • Get feedback – share your proposal with stakeholder(s) and gather their opinions and concerns.
