In the introductory paragraph, I need to identify the methods I am following to design your Applied Improvement Project (AIP), and my rationale for that approach. I need to answer, "What will I actually do?" I am having trouble writing it in the third person with two references per paragraph. There cannot be citations in the first or last sentence. I need the references in APA 7 style. In designing my Applied Improvement Project (AIP), I will follow the Applied Improvement Project Model, aligning with an action research design. This approach allows for iterative problem-solving and active involvement of stakeholders, ensuring that the solutions are practical and applicable to real-world educational settings. The framework guiding the initial steps of my AIP will be diagnosing the problem, generating alternatives, and designing the action plan. This choice is grounded in the necessity to address complex educational issues through continuous assessment and refinement, involving educators and students to ensure the interventions' relevance and efficacy.
