Goal of the action research
ACS has committed to spending seven years (school years 2020-21 to 2026-27) conducting school-wide action research on a key aspect of our Student Profile: global advocacy. Through teacher-driven action research, we will discover how ACS can best support our students becoming global advocates.
We have 2 research questions:
In what ways are students and alumni of ACS Amman demonstrating that they are global advocates?
How can ACS Amman support students in becoming global advocates?
Coherence
Everything we do at ACS, from our beliefs to our Strategic Priorities, supports Global Advocacy.
