Critical skills.
Field
Studies are conducted by a team of students and focus on issues identified by
local area businesses or community service organizations. The students write a
confirmation letter, develop a work plan, develop an interview guide, collect
data (primarily through interviews), verify the information for truth and
accuracy, and conduct their analysis to develop findings, conclusions and
recommendations. Assessment is authentic.
Students down to the middle school level are capable of conducting Field Studies.
