Abstract

This study reflects quantitative research completed in two school districts that investigated the benefits and barriers of Common Planning Time. The study surveyed teachers that taught in Middle Schools to determine what the benefits and barriers of common planning time were. The results of the study showed that there was no significance across all of the twenty-six barriers and benefits, but there was significance among 3 individual items.
