Appreciative Inquiry Capstone

Catalog description

The Capstone course is designed for M.Ed. students to demonstrate the depth and breadth of their growth as reflective practitioners and the knowledge and skills gained through their coursework. During this course, students design and carry out a project in which they apply Appreciative Inquiry, a Participatory Action Research approach, to identify positive, strength-based organizational practices. Project topics are relevant to students’ professional practice and center on the intersection of the three pillars of the M.Ed. program—Universal Design for Learning; teacher leadership; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
