How do you present these sorts of possibilities to administration that wants ... more "traditional" research projects? #engchat

That was a tough sell for me. Mine didn't like it, though my dept. chair did. #engchat

sooo... how'd you win 'em over? ;) #engchat

check tell admin to check out common core. Research should have real world application & presented using multi technologies. #engchat

I didn't really, It was kind of a tough spring. But the projects were done!

Exactly. Doesn't likely mean traditional "paper." #engchat

It is so difficult to reconcile. They need research (traditional) for college. #engchat

That is good advice. Wouldn't have worked for me in private school, but it would help you, I think. #engchat

Our lesson plans have CC markers at the end of each. We're trying to help the transition #engchat

Our #ccss units have research, reading, writing, tech. etc. in each several week long unit.Summative proj. at end #engchat

you bring up an important point. We need to prep Ss for college. Real world application w/research essential #engchat

They need research skills for college. Maybe more important than writing research papers. #engchat

Clix_normal @clix State of Chaos

Hm. I don't remember doing the sort of research in college that we're supposed to ask of our students (at my school). #engchat

Mmy5vppatafx08lxmjg8_normal @danielle6849 New Jersey

Agree. But they also need to synthesize and do something with the research. #engchat

Image_normal @AmyRass Carrollton, TX, U.S.A

Sure, but that can be all kinds of products. Short or full-length formal. #engchat

Research skills are absolutely imperative, but that's only 1/2 the battle. Writing good research is always key as well #engchat

7:42PM Mon, March 05 2012

Mmy5vppatafx08lxmjg8_normal @danielle6849 New Jersey

I agree. Some of our research units are debates, Model UN, Presentations, etc. instead of papers. #engchat

Mmy5vppatafx08lxmjg8_normal @danielle6849 New Jersey

Really? I'm doing them all of the time in grad school. #engchat
