This volume, the ninth volume in the Handbook of Research in Middle
Level Education, is a compilation of research studies focusing on
the use and implementation of common planning time (CPT) in middle
level schools. All of the studies were part of the Middle Level
Education Research SIG's National Middle Grades Research Project
(NMGRP) on Common Planning Time, which provides additional evidence
about teachers' understandings, experiences, the benefits and
barriers about CPT. Since all researchers participating in the
SIG-sponsored project utilized the same data collection protocols
and followed the same protocols, the overall data collection was
systematic and is highly reliable. Five research questions were
generated to guide the development of the data collection
protocols. While the authors were encouraged to use their data to
address these project-level questions, they were not required to do
so. The project consisted of both qualitative and quantitative data
collection. Phase I (qualitative) consisted of observations of CPT
meetings and structured interviews with teachers. Phase II
(quantitative) was comprised of an online teacher survey. Within
the chapters of this volume, a variety of relevant and meaningful
research questions are examined utilizing both qualitative and
quantitative methodologies.
