You will develop a focused inquiry project based on a problem or issue of instructional leadership practice in your home school or district. Plans for the inquiry project will begin during the first year of the program in the context of the action research course and the spring reflective seminar. The inquiry may be carried out independently, in collaboration with teaching peers at your school, or in collaboration with another instructional leader in your cohort.
The report and public presentation of the inquiry project will offer you the opportunity to share your exploration of a puzzling problem of practice from your professional work. It will also provide evidence of your mastery of core concepts presented in the MIL inquiry strand, as well as concepts, theories, and practices presented from the other three strands of the program.
The faculty and advisors will support you in the development of your project, review completed project reports and public presentations, evaluate them and provide feedback to you. Approval, following successful completion of the report and presentation and a program learning synthesis paper, will constitute the final requirement for graduation.
