Action Research Project First Try

I have finished my ARP, but I am very glad that it also is a living document. I greatly would appreciate any comments to help me. I have already seen one step that I forgot. And of course, my Site Supervisor still has final say.

  1. I like your project because it is proving if your school has spent money on a good online program. This will allow you to show if another program might be beneficial or if in school interventions need to be changed or refocused.
