Only a few hundred schools across the United States have research
programs. Although some of the schools with programs are magnet schools
or highly advantaged schools, many ordinary schools have successful
programs. Every school is capable of at least a modest program for
those students who want to work on independent research projects.This
practical book provides a school district with a comprehensive guide on
how to establish an independent research program. Use this book as your
step-by -step guide to creating an independent research program and
preparing your students to enter the national independent research
competitions. Although the curriculum described in this book is based
on the objectives of various national competitions, the students are
not in a competitive classroom environment. Instead, the competition
rules are used to create a working atmosphere that resembles the
professional world.
Krieger takes you from selling the idea of the program to educators,
students, and the community through critical curriculum and methodology
for the teacher, to finally entering national research competitions and
continuing your program.
