Design: I chose to complete this research using participatory action research because I want to engage other teachers to find useful solutions that benefit teachers at every level. #CHOICEstudy7130

RQ: In what ways do enhanced PLC structures and routines improve collaboration and contribute to more consistent instructional practices across grade levels? #CHOICEstudy7130

For this study I will be using a pre-test/post-test design. I chose to use this design because I want to establish a baseline, measure the change over time, and to make data-informed decisions for continuous improvement #quantstudy7130

Do schools with higher levels of PLC collaboration among leaders and team leads demonstrate greater consistency in student learning outcomes than schools with lower levels of collaboration? #quantstudy7130

I chose to approach this qualitative research with an enthnographic methodology because I want to examine the practices, patterns, and perspectives of the participants(teachers) in the area of which we teach #qualstudy7130

RC: how are the daily interactions, routines, and cultural norms within PLCs experienced and negotiated by school leaders and team leads across grade levels in a large district? #qualstidy7130
