Methodology Options

This week I have been contemplating options for the study. It is a complex process and I am going to meet with Dr. Brookhart to hash out some of my thinking. I would be interested in some of your thoughts. Here are 2 options I am thinking about:

Option A. Take the data folder system I have designed into several classrooms. Using Bandura's or Stiggin's self efficacy survey I would pre-assess and post-assess the students and teachers. I could gather data by the end of January- analyze and write conclusions by May. I would choose to study classrooms with specific interests in mind:
Leader-in-Me network (A.B. Combs)
Baldrige Model Schools (I.S.S.)
Urban (D.P.S. or NEISD)

Option B. Take the self-efficacy survey to schools in the Leader-in-Me network and find out the impact of this system on mental models.

I will be thinking about this for the next 2 weeks- I have a dissertation design panel meeting me on June 11th at 2pm.
