Component 2: Literature Review <br />What do experts say about the curricular problem you have identified? Review the literature and find out! Review at least five high quality research articles published in peer-reviewed journals that relate to your CIP. Identify key topics in the articles and synthesize the information. <br />Provide a conclusion to your Lit Review explaining what you have learned from your inquiry. Include a reference list at the end of your paper. Bring a copy of your literature review to class on the designated date for peer editing.<br />Criteria for grading include:<br /> -Relevance and quality of research articles<br /> -Organization and clarity of research synthesis<br /> -Conclusion and insights<br /><br />? Component 3A: Addressing the Problem <br /> -Explain your approach to solving the problem<br /> -Describe the theoretical underpinnings of your CIP<br /> -Discuss how research supports your approach to the problem<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />? Component 3B: Implementation Plan <br />How is this going to work? Develop a plan for implementing your project. Include a timeline and suggestions for working with teachers and key stakeholders (principals. directors, school boards). Describe the resources that would be needed in order for your CIP to be successfully implemented.<br />Criteria for grading include:<br /> -Timeline<br />-Suggestions for working with stakeholders<br />-Resources needed for CIP<br /><br />? Component 3C: Conclusion <br /> -Return to the problem identified in Component One. Explain how your CIP will address the problem<br /> -Explain how your CIP contributes to the knowledge base in your field <br /> -Summarize what you have learned<br /><br />? Component: Class PowerPoint Presentation <br />Present your Curriculum Improvement Project to the class as if they were the stakeholder you need to convince to adopt your project. Include the following:<br /> -Position statement advocating CIP<br />-Discussion of key points supporting CIP<br />-Insights and recommendations<br />-Visual aids and handouts<br /><br /><p>CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT GRADING RUBRIC</p><p> </p><table width="743"><tbody><tr><td width="150"><p>COMPONENT SCORES</p></td><td width="142"><p>UNNACEPTABLE</p><p>1</p></td><td width="142"><p>PARTIAL</p><p>2</p></td><td width="152"><p>ACCEPTABLE</p><p>3</p></td><td width="156"><p>PROFICIENT</p><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td width="150"><p><strong>COMPONENT 1: Problem (5 points)</strong> <br /> -Analysis of Problem</p><p>-Explanation as to its importance</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>COMPONENT 2: Lit Review (15 points)</strong></p><p>- Relevance and quality of research articles</p><p>-Organization and clarity of research synthesis</p><p>-Conclusion and insights</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Component 3A: Addressing the Problem </strong></p><p><strong>(10 Points)</strong></p><p>-Approach to solving the problem</p><p>-Description of theoretical underpinnings of CIP</p><p>        </p><p><strong>COMPONENT 3B: Implementation Plan (10 points)</strong></p><p>-Timeline</p><p>-Suggestions for working with stakeholders</p><p>-Resources needed for CIP</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>COMPONENT 3C: Conclusion (10 points)</strong></p><p>- Explanation of how CIP will address the problem</p><p>-Contribution to the knowledge</p><p>-Summary of what has been learned</p></td><td width="142"><p>Curriculum issue is not important; little or no   analysis or explanation of the problem’s importance is provided</p><p> </p><p>Fewer than five appropriate research articles are reviewed;</p><p>Synthesis is missing or inadequate;</p><p>conclusion and insights are missing or inadequate</p><p> </p><p>Approach to solving the problem is missing or inappropriate; theoretical underpinnings are not described or do not match the problem</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Timeline is missing or incomplete;</p><p>suggestions for stakeholders and/or resources needed for CIP missing or inadequate</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Little or no explanation of how CIP addresses the problem; missing or inadequate explanation of CIP’s contribution to the knowledgebase; summary of what has been learned missing or inadequate</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td width="142"><p>Curriculum issue is somewhat important; a partial attempt is made to analyze the problem and explain its importance</p><p> </p><p>Five partially appropriate research articles are reviewed;</p><p>Synthesis is superficial or does not discuss key points; conclusion and insights are superficial or unclear</p><p> </p><p>Approach to solving the problem is marginally appropriate; theoretical underpinnings are inadequately described or do not fully match the problem</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Timeline is included but lacks detail;</p><p>suggestions for stakeholders and/or resources needed for CIP are marginally adequate</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Minimal explanation of how CIP addresses the problem; marginally adequate explanation of CIP’ contribution to the knowledge base; superficial summary of what has been learned</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td width="152"><p>Curriculum issue is important; an adequate analysis and description of the problem’s importance is provided</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Five appropriate research articles are reviewed; synthesis is adequate and discusses key points;</p><p>conclusion and insights are clear</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Approach to solving the problem is appropriate; theoretical underpinnings are adequately described and match the problem</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Adequate timeline is included;</p><p>suggestions for stakeholders and resources needed for CIP are provided</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Adequate explanation of how CIP addresses the problem; acceptable explanation of CIP’s contribution to the knowledge base; adequate summary of what has been learned</p><p> </p></td><td width="156"><p>Curriculum issue clearly important;</p><p>A detailed and scholarly analysis and explanation of the problem’s importance is provided</p><p> </p><p>Five appropriate research articles are reviewed; synthesis is detailed and discusses key points;</p><p>conclusion and insights demonstrate a high level of clarity and depth</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Approach to solving the problem is clearly appropriate; theoretical underpinnings are described in detail and fully match the problem</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A detailed timeline is included;</p><p>suggestions for stakeholders and resources needed for CIP are described clearly and in detail</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Clear and detailed explanation of how CIP addresses the problem; Thorough explanation of CIP’s contribution to the knowledge base; Detailed and scholarly summary of what has been learned</p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table>
