CEP 812 Wicked Problem Project: Part D - Findings and Implications

I feel that the project was implemented as planned, though I would like to see it implemented on a larger scale.  Students seemed to respond well to the project and the programs that I found for them to use.  The evidence of the success was the increase in grades on the handout they were given and the student reaction to the programs. 

If I were given another project of this type some things that I might do differently are:

·         Make more attempts to get more people in district on board with trying new ideas

·         Take more time on with student feedback and staff feed back to improve my solution.

·         Try to have multiple teachers at my school trying the solution instead just in my classroom.

The lessons that were learned while working to complete this project are:

·         To allow plenty of time for learning new programs and to be flexible.  It is important plan for all levels of learners.

·         To not underestimate students ability to teach each other and themselves.

·         Listen to student comments and feedback to make your solution better.

I will look into implementing this project on a larger scale and have more teachers involved to see if they feel the programs are effective to enhance learning and teaching strategies.  I would also like to give more time for implementation so students can have more time with the programs so they can be more comfortable with commenting on the effectiveness of the programs.
