School Garden Action Research Proposal

Question, context, method, ethics, timeline, analysis plan, and how the findings change practice.

Action research is research done by practitioners to change what they do, which fits a school garden exactly. The proposal format is the real one, simplified only in length.

The page has the full template, section guidance and a review rubric. The ethics section is required, not optional, and the timeline must be achievable within a term. Proposals that could not be completed get sent back, which is closer to reality than a proposal nobody ever has to deliver.
