Excelling Teaching & Learning : S.I.M. & A.R. : Research Requests

The District's Governing Board recognizes that systematic study of the educational process and related variables can contribute significantly to the development and implementation of high quality instructional programs. The Board, therefore, encourages the conducting of well-designed educational research projects within the District by its staff and other professionals outside the District.

However, in order to ensure that research conducted will be meaningful, we must have an opportunity to carefully evaluate each research request. The procedures for conducting research in our district are accessible through the link below. By completing the form"Request to Conduct Research in the Scottsdale Unified School District," you will facilitate this effort.

Once you have completed and submitted this form, the proposal will be reviewed and a preliminary recommendation will be made. The appropriate District administrator will then be contacted for his/her concurrence, and the joint recommendation, if necessary, will be submitted to the Superintendent for approval or submission to the Governing Board.

Please contact Elden Cozort, the Coordinator of Research, at 480-484-6278 if you have specific questions or need additional information.
