CP Blog Entry #5 What compelling information have you found during your research?

During my research, I was beginning to not find much more information than I originally found.  This made me question my project and how to go about implementing it.  In fact, while researching, my own research of the LESRA model was appearing as a new resource to use!  This method may not be backed by the research I was looking for.  After speaking with several other colleagues, I decided that the LESRA model may not be beneficial at this time.  I was originally going to use both the LESRA model and the MFAS assessments and I now plan to just use the MFAS assessments.  I have found more information on using the MFAS assessments and this method would still meet the needs of the students as well.  One of the best websites is CPALMS.  This method is to check the students' understanding before instruction and again after to see their misconceptions of a concept.
