It's All About the RESEARCH

I am just starting my Educational Research Strategies course, following a killer Statistics class. I was worried about picking the "right" topic....one that would help me on my dissertation path. What do I want to write about for my dissertation? I had not a clue. YIKES! I have what seems to be too many interests.

It came to me though, after perusing the internet, that one topic I am interested in yet tend to see little about, is Extended School Year services for students with disabilities. My research will be applicable not only to educational practitioners in the field but state level officials responsible for assisting districts with implementing the IEP process, including the provision of ESY services where applicable.

Having a topic has put my mind at considerable ease....for now. I've been warned that my topic today might not look like my topic when dissertation time rolls around. That's OK, I'm set for now!

Time to dig in.....
