Grants The Minnesota Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC) has agreed to devote the proceeds from the silent auction, held annually at the Divisions fall conference to fund practitioners who wish to engage in action research efforts within their district programs. Two grants of $500 each are available. Applicants may be individual practitioners or teams of practitioners and be currently working in a program that serves young children with disabilities and their families. Each application must include at least one applicant who is a current member of DEC. Action-research grant recipients must be willing to write a short article describing the process and results for publication on Minnesota DEC’s website. Grants will be awarded by July 1, 2013.
Typical components of Action Research:
- Identifying the problem to be solved
- Diagnosing the causes of the problem
- Formulating an action hypothesis
- Designing and implementing an action plan
- Simple procedures for analysis of the resulting data or evidence
Please complete all sections of this application and return by May 15, 2013 to DEC President Kellie Krick Oborn at kelliekrickoborn@gmail.com
