Research Studies
RISE Charter School recognizes the value of participation in educational research. Studies using observation, surveys, and experimentation can aid in the improvement of instructional programs in the school system as well as growth in the profession for individual teachers and researchers.
Simultaneously, RISE Charter School recognizes that the amount of time available for student learning is limited and must be handled carefully. It is, therefore, important that only those research studies that are of the greatest value to RISE Charter School be allowed to be conducted in the school.
All research proposals from outside sources shall be submitted in prospective form, with the instruments attached, to the Executive Director at least three weeks prior to the date on which the research study is to be conducted. The prospectus must include the researcher's name, address, and phone number, as well as a description of the purpose of the study, the procedures to be used, the treatment of the data, and the distribution of the study. The Executive Director shall approve or disapprove all research studies. Approval shall be based on educational significance, project design, and lack of disruption to the regular school process. The primary criteria in approving research studies will be the value to RISE Charter School. A final copy of the study shall be provided free of charge to the School.
No test, questionnaire, survey, or enumeration containing questions about a pupil’s or his or her parent’s personal beliefs or practices in sex, family life, morality, or religion shall be administered without Board approval and written parental permission.
