One of the things you may want to begin with is to have a contact person in the country that you wish to complete the study.  The individual should be in the educational system- a K-12 teacher or principal or someone in the university. Think also of a collaboration with this individual. Such... more

For my dissertation, I discussed making sure to rely on data to remain impartial. Also I said adhering to all district and institutional policies, ensuring all identifiable information was removed, and clearly identifying roles and expectations. That was enough for my reviewer. I hope this helps! more

If your study is qualitative, you may want to research "bracketing". I was able to justify my approach by offering this method for reducing bias. Best of Luck to You! more

On Our Virtual 66 Route This Week: #RandomThoughts

 We present the following for consideration:

Simon Anholt gives a nice fresh perspective on how to define what a global community should really achieve at local level, and conveys how crucial it is to focus on collaborating like never before.
