Resources: Action Research Projects
The Barrie Region MISA PNC has established a Professional Learning Community to build core capacity, carry out research and create and share practices. Research initiatives increase school board/authority capacity to conduct meaningful research. Through their MISA Leads, each school board/authority has the opportunity to conduct both local core capacity related research activities as well as research in association with colleges and/or universities on a core capacity related activity.
