Previous Assignment:

Describe the topic that you wish to study. With respect to this choice, examine your own set of values, interests, and experience and describe their impacts on your topic selection. Convert your research topic into an overarching research question.

Children have always been my passion. I began my mission to advocate for children about 20 years ago. I have always known the importance of advocating for children, specifically those in poverty, as they did not ask to be born into their circumstances. I focused my efforts on children from birth to age 5 as I began to learn about newborn, infant, and toddler brain development. I went on to become an early education teacher for the next 12 years where I was able to see some of the everyday effects of poverty on the development of the children that I cared for. Over the years, I began to realize that many of the parents and families of the children that I served, within this low-income program required education themselves. Many of these poverty-stricken families were unaware of the significant role they played in their child’s education. I noticed (understandably) that many of them would let the everyday worries of poverty hinder them from being the best parents that they could be. For instance, in many of these households, it was more important to figure out how to pay rent, buy food, or keep the lights on than homework on any given day. Over the years, many of the parents believed that teachers were the primary party responsible for educating their children as that was their job. They did not connect with the notion that parents are a child’s first teacher. Year after year of witnessing this strange mentality, I began to inquire about, How poverty affects early childhood welfare and education? I began to seek ways to educate parents, in hopes to change this skewed ideology. It nagged me so much that I eventually, applied to become a family advocate within the same organization. I now directly support the parents, partnering with them, encouraging them, and educating them on their value to their children’s welfare and education. My reasoning was that I believed that I could better serve this population of children by educating their parents first.

Assignment Overview

Even the most focused research question may contain within it a series of more fundamental and related questions. Once these are determined, the researcher must then determine the kinds of information necessary to answer them. In this assignment, you will identify how you would conduct your study of the best practice model you proposed earlier in the quarter. From there identify a series of evaluation questions which you would propose as an evaluation design. You will also begin to identify the kinds of data you will need, from whom you will gather it, and which methods you will apply to your proposed study.

For your research questions, identify what type of data you will collect in order to address your research question. You will be answering these questions:

· Who will your participants be?

· Is the data quantitative or qualitative in nature—should it be in the form of numbers or words?

· What methods might you apply to glean the information that you seek?

· What instruments, measures, or tools would you use in your study?

· Also, identify how you would analyze the data that you collect. Will you be conducting statistical analyses of any kind? Or, will you be using coding and categorizing? Will you be using any computer software to assist with the analysis?

· Finally, consider the results of the study. Who should know about these results? How will you present them?
