Create a 750-1,000 word proposal describing your action plan, including the following:

• Review of your research proposal and theory of action, including any necessary revisions based on the research
• Stakeholder specific tasks – what will be done and by whom
• Timetable for completing each task and the plan
• Resource allocation – what specific resources are necessary to implement the action
• Outcomes or improvements you anticipate based on your action plan being implemented
• Measures of success for your action plan
• Rationale and data that support your proposed action plan

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
