Research Proposal
Common Core Standards Does Not Meet the
Needs of Students in Individualized Education
Pro- grams
Introduction
Many people perceive students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to hav-
ing lower academic performances than those students without it, especially with the use of Com-
mon Core Standards. However, this aspect needs thorough research involving students in both
categories to ascertain the difference in their academic performances and whether other factors
could be contributing to those differences. Also, the performance of students when placed with
regular common core classes may differ from those in IEP classes. This research proposal
presents the research process and needs to evaluate whether the common core standards meet the
needs of all students or not, especially those within the IEP plan.
Problem definition
Common Core Standards (CCS) do not achieve the requirements of all students to suc-
ceed academically, especially those having IEP plans who often fall behind its structure, and
teachers being unable to control the situation. Severe disabilities such as blindness do not apply
to all IEP students, and not all of them are in special education classes. However, all of those
stu- dents require extra aid that may be disallowed by the CCS.
Research Approach
The research approach that will be used for this research will be a qualitative one, which
focuses on obtaining data using an open-ended conversational communication. This approach is
appropriate because it constitutes why things happen the way they are and not only how they
happen (Maruster, 2013). For instance, the relationship between CCS and the requirements of
students within IEP is critical should be evaluated based on how this aspect affects their perfor-
mances instead of just exploring why the case is the way it appears.
Qualitative research technique is appropriate for this study because it allows in-depth ex-
ploration and questioning of the respondents upon considering what they respond to a given
question presented to them. Hence, this case ensures that the researchers understand what moti-
vates them and what they feel concerning a given research-based question. For instance, select-
ing random participants in the schools with failing CCS using a qualitative approach will help
the researcher to understand the underlying causes of that situation and their impact on student's
performance.
The research methods under this approach are designed to aid in revealing how target
au- diences behave in certain situations and to a particular topic. For instance, for this study,
schools with failing CCS may have a negative attitude towards the research topic which aims to
evaluate whether the common core standards meet the needs of all students or not especially
those within the IEP plan since they may feel targeted by the research (Lenz, Wells, &
Kingston, 2015).
Therefore, with the qualitative research approach, the researcher will understand the possible
perception of the respondents in given situations and either divert to gain relevant data or stick to
