Action Research Proposal Form
Fort Bend ISD has an exciting program to engage the intellect and discover the most
effective professional practices of our teachers and administrators in a wide variety of
areas. Individuals or teams (up to five people) may submit action research proposals on
any topic, provided that the focus of the project includes student achievement and
professional practices. All grade levels, all programs, and all subjects will be considered.
The definition of “student achievement” may include state assessments but may also
include district, school, and teacher-created assessments.
