CLEAR PROJECT 7 – A New Vision for CLEAR!
(CLEAR = Collaborative Learning Educational Action Research)
For the past six years Maine’s CLEAR PROJECT has grown and developed into a unique opportunity for approximately 18 teachers over 18 months to acquire the skills and receive necessary support to become reflective practitioners engaged in classroom action research. Because of our district’s commitment to cooperative learning and our desire to study the impact of this professional development on classroom practices and student behavior and/or achievement, we have in the past restricted CLEAR to a focus on questions around Cooperative Learning. While not abandoning the opportunity for teachers to continue this focus, we started opening up CLEAR PROJECT for teachers who wish to ask and answer questions related to other research-based instructional practices.
