ACTION RESEARCH
I.

Discussion of current concerns, issues, observations, etc. within courses:

the quarter/ semester so we could record more data for student growth.

II.

III.

Discussion of effectiveness of data collection and its impact on instructional decisions (e.g., could other
data have been collected, does or can other data need to be collected now, is there usefulness behind the
