More pointedly, I aim to learn about how to invite my young, straight, white male students to conversations about "Othering" (racism, sexism, homophobia, religious intolerance, etc.)  in ways that they have previously felt unwelcome; I also hope to see and increase in their overall outlooks on hope, equality, and camaraderie.

The survey will ask questions for the students and parents about the expectations they have of a math classroom and what they want (their children) to get out of it. This research project will be focused on ELL students but it can be applied to students with disabilities or accelerated and mainstream students..

"Using observation(methods), I aim to learn: what are the qualities of leadership? And how can I apply them to teaching? The things that I am looking for are: How do I define a leader for observation? What personality traits do they exhibit? What do they have in common with leaders that I have observed in the past; what are the common strands? Finally; how do I apply these qualities to teaching to make me a more effective leader and teacher in the classroom.

I also intend to learn how the students use the calculators and what are the different ways the teacher had thought of to make sure that the students know how to use them in different problems and not just memorizing ways to input into the calculator.

More specifically, do multimedia aids or hypertext's help with a students comprehension. With more and more technology being present in their daily lives would it make sense to transition from textbooks to hypertext's or multimedia aids? Would this be a benefit to students or would it be damaging to their educational experience?

Are there certain manipulatives that engage students more than others? Are virtual manipulatives more effective? or concrete? or an incorporation of both? Can students retain more information when they are taught with these manipulatives?

~to learn how to think about data and method ~to be a better "consumer" of education research
~to practice being curious and skeptical
~to learn the value of empirical evidence instead of argument or common sense
~to get the focus off the teacher and on to the learner
