I have been having a hard time managing both research and the TIP. I have gathered some information, but it's slow going.

I am having difficulty focusing on the right questions to ask both the students and staff. I have administered student surveys but they didn't give me much to work with so I  didn't know if I had asked the right questions. The students don't give as detailed answers like adults do so I didn't know if I should repeat the survey and read it to them instead, as well as offer prompts and record the responses myself.

I am more concerned about how to go about gathering the data, as in how I should administer the data collection tools.

My research hasn't started yet, but I am hoping to get it off the ground soon. I plan on pulling data from last year and comparing at the end of this 6 week grading period. I am still having trouble coming up with questions to ask students and staff in their respective interviews. If there was anything I had questions on, it would be that. How do you gauge a students involvement and the perception of a teacher? I may have more questions before we meet so I will keep you updated.
