Assignment Instructi ons One of the challenges of action research is how to create fresh, imaginative ways to capture and present inf ormation. This Assignment invol ves f ormulating an evaluati on model; one that shows clearly how to develop an evaluation system when a project is being planned. There is no requirement in this Assignment to apply an exam ple to your model; instead you may assume you are creating a model action plan that will likely meet the needs of an y project and it should include an "evaluation" within each phase (Look, Think, and Act) of the Action Research proc ess. For a project’s outcome to be successful you must have a good pl an and a f ocus on creating a team that is motivated and capable, one that is willing to be organized, f ollow the rules, and create fellowship with each other. Including evaluation throughout the action research project cements ongoing understanding of expectations. Your obj ective is to create a presentation that engages the "audienc e" bec ause the presentation is attractive, and places most of the interpretive process on those recei ving the data. W hen creating your PowerP oint presentation, investigate and appl y best practices in presen ting inf ormation. The expectation is that you will f ormulate your own Model Action Plan f or E valuation Results and not copy someone else’s. Basically, you are addressing the f ollowing question when creating an evaluation model f or each and every phase of Look, Think, and Act: "Is what I am doing now going to be worth my eff ort when I arrive at the end and look back at the entire project?"
