Three to five sentences describing the essence of the Project you pursued and an overview of your findings or results.

Purpose or Background

Two or more paragraphs describing the recent history which helps the reader understand the context for your proposal. (For example, what motivates this study? What is the need observed in students? What strategies has the teacher attempted recently and how well were these working?) It helps to write a short description of the characteristics of the selected students or audience.

Include a short description of the characteristics of the selected students or audience.

Research Theoretical Background

This is an optional but highly recommended section. It is three or more paragraphs describing the support in professional readings for the plan of action you undertook.

(This may be incorporated in the Implications section, see Note below.)

The Study
The Plan

This is one of the lengthier sections, consisting of six or more paragraphs describing the intervention, plan of action, or instructional design of your Project. It is important to include information about the timeframe required, materials needed and sufficient description of your strategies that the reader understands your work.

Describe any variations to your plan, as described in your Project Report, that occurred. (You may refer the reader to the Project Report rather than copying the content, noting any significant alterations.)

Assessment

This section consists of three or more paragraphs describing your assessment approach. This includes the area(s) of impact you intend to assess as well as the assessment instruments or tools you will use. Further, it is important to include the frequency of assessment and your description of the target group of students.

Describe what was actually assessed and the process that was used.

Findings

The section is also known as data-display. Display your results in graphic form (tables, charts, figures, diagrams) and add several paragraphs of narrative describing the results to the reader.

Implications

Describe the meaning you place on the results. Interpret the results with respect to the original purpose and in light of the background you shared in the Project Report.

Note: In your discussion of findings, the best approach is to analyze your findings in light of relevant research. (e.g., What do your findings add to existing knowledge on the topic?)
