In athletics, coaches and fans look at the numbers- how is the athlete performing? How many wins and losses? Were they leading in any of the quarters or halves? By how much? Lots of number crunching and analytics that give a picture of performance. However, interviewing the athlete after the sporting event gives you their reaction and satisfaction on the overall match/game. It rounds out the picture of the athlete. We see their performance and the interview gives us their experience. Which is what I hope to gain in my collection of data- a well-rounded picture of performance and satisfaction that students have during learning.

The research for this project includes quantitative data that will be changed, like alchemy, to quantitative data. This method was chosen because educators may not enjoy a colleague adding “one more thing” to their already overflowing plates. Also, aforementioned educators would not have to analyze their data and report, as this data pertains to their own perceptions of how their teaching practices are unfolding. This data will help answer the inquiry of research on how well students are receiving an education using Universal Design for Learning, and how well educators are receiving coaching on Universal Design for Learning. This, in turn, drives future coaching methods for the remainder of the school year.
