Phase 2
Posted by Marie Kleiderlein on 2/21/2012 2:00:00 PM
Hello!
It has been a long time since I last posted. I've been working hard since returning to Ellicottville last fall, teaching ninth grade English, assisting with reading in the elementary school and Global Studies in the high school, and taking one graduate class per semester. I was notified last month that I passed my Research Analysis Exam (which I took last May) and will progress to Phase 2 of my doctoral program later this month. I am currently doing an independent studyand plan to take an online course this summer and another independent study in the fall. Those are my remaining classes. This month I will begin a pilot study which will eventually lead into my dissertation next year. I am scheduled to present my Research Component, the pilot study, in the summer and begin writing my Dissertation Proposal in the fall. It has been almost three years now since I began the doctoral program, and it has gone by quickly. I am making steady progress toward my goal. I have learned so much, far more than I ever dreamed, and I apply that knowledge in my classroom every day. I hope to spend the next year conducting research and analyzing the results. I was just notified that a paper I wrote is published on the Gender Education Association website.
Thanks for visiting,
MK
