Involving Undergraduates in Multiple Case Study Research: Reflections on a Rewarding Experience

Two professors have worked together as a team for over a year and a half on three research projects involving undergraduate students. One of the professors specializes in reading methods for exceptional learners and the other specializes in deaf education. Under the supervision of the professors, the students implemented the intervention, learned inter-rater observation, and worked together on writing and publishing manuscripts. Participants of this workshop will learn how to recruit and mentor undergraduate researchers. Participants will also learn essential components (schedules, meetings, time lines, communication, feedback) to organizing collaborative research. Finally, the presenters will share their challenges and successes of these research projects
