The purpose of this Wiki is to provide an outline of the critical steps of an Action Research Project. Please note that the components listed for this project are to describe the action research process and that no actual action research actually took place. Tim Blackmon (Lady Liberty Academy Charter School), Debra Brock (Piscataway High School), and Mary Idebaneria (Newark Public Schools) are students in the New Vistas Program, Cohort II at Kean University. Debra Brock, and Mary Idebaneria have teaching certificates in Special Education and Math, and Tim Blackmon has a teaching certificate in K-5, English, and Special Education. Our team agreed that students are not as engaged in Social Studies and History lessons as we would like, so we decided to research how to improve their engagement & retention and thus their achievement results.
