Middle-Level Education Research SIG National Project on Middle-Level Common Planning Time
Sun, April 15, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott Pinnacle, Floor: Third Level, Shaughnessy ISession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
While research has documented the positive effects of common planning time in the middle grades, little is known about what teachers actually “do” during this common planning time. To explore this phenomenon, participant researchers gathered quantitative data using an online teacher survey. In this session, project leaders will provide an overview of the National Common Planning Time Project, particularly the Phase II component. Participant researchers will share the results of their individual research investigations. The session will also include a thoughtful review and discussion of the participant researchers’ findings.
