This week we designed a survey about multimodal learning strategies to give to teachers at our school. I started targeting a few teachers that I knew would be willing to do a quick survey for me. I try to be careful about asking people to do favors for me. I am no longer a classroom teacher. I don't want to make people feel obligated to do things for me. I was glad to see that the survey didn't have to be excessively long or have that many participants, so I was able to just ask teachers who I know on a more personal level. This did mean that most of my survey participants are veteran teachers.
Action research is a flexible approach to that lets teachers improve their instruction by gathering and analyzing data. I designed a survey that could be used to gather data about which instructional methods teachers at my school use. It included both quantitative data in the form of Likert scale questions as well as open ended questions for more qualitative data. Then I wrote a research proposal explaining my plan and how I would implement this survey.
Our readings this week focused on Culturally responsive teaching and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The videos were about evaluating action research and evidence based multimodal instruction
