Action Research Tools Our site provides exciting new tools for teachers to use to do high quality action research in their classrooms. We provide teacher friendly information that gives educators unprecedented accuracy in determining their effect upon their students. These tools give sophisticated, yet automated results that are easy to understand. Self-contained modules insure that nonspecialists can now perform very accurate analyses of effective teaching. Collaborative projects are available online where interested teachers can get involved with exciting teacher research projects. If you need some additional information, have urgent questions, or want to begin compelling action research immediately, contact Larry Schaftenaar, Ph.D. at lschafte@edzone.net Users can access desired parts of our site by clicking below on the preferred section.
