Sommario/riassunto

Find out how the seven-step action research process helps you solve problems, boost student achievement, and develop new approaches that are more apt to "fit" your students--in a single classroom or districtwide. You'll discover easy and practical ways to collect, organize, and use data to turn research questions into concrete actions.
