RJA #7c : Field Research Plan.

On my subject of teacher reassignment to poorer schools,
I plan to interview current as well as past teachers. I know
many former teachers on a personal basis and I feel that they
will let me use their names for this topic. I will attempt to
interview current instructors as well, but I feel they will
want me to keep their names (as well as their respected
districts) confidential as well. I will ask them the following
questions;

What is their stance on forced reassignments?

Have they themselves been reassigned in such a manner?

Why did they leave the teaching profession & was it based
on a new career move or internal politics?

RJA #7a : Internet Research Tools.

When I orginally started my research, I knew that I would
have to use multiple search engines to find out the facts that
I needed. Honestly, I was used to using one ; but I knew I
had to expand on my engines sooner or later. I have had great
success with the typical web searches and have been able to
find out what I needed. But, I have also used several search
sites via newpaper web searches as well. I plan to use the site
www.infomine.ucr.edu more to research educational issues. Here
are some of the sites I will be using :

http://www.msn.com/
http://www.yahoo.com/
http://www.newyorktimes.com/
http://www.denverpost.com/
http://www.latimes.com/

All search sites I have used have been great for needed inform-
ation. The main difference between the more public used
domains such as msn.com and the news sites is that the news
sites are sometimes one sided with the delivery of the news as
well as research information.
