K-12 Educators
Students in the Research Methods in Education (RMinE) program who are K-12 educators will undertake several research projects to develop methods for engaging in authentic research in their schools. The coursework in the program provides K-12 educators an intentional and systematic version of what good teachers already do.
Students will work on developing research and evaluation questions based on the challenges teachers face, which will equip them to be engaged in generating knowledge about the issues of the classroom.
