SWOT Chart

STRENGTHS Good relationship with the school and the principal. Support and consent of principal, parents and participants. Group of participants involved in observations, surveys and interviews are already established and easily accessible as are part of my weekly classes. Confidence in inquiry as initial findings and feedback supported it as a worthy inquiry line.	WEAKNESSES Limited time scale – less time than initially thought and am starting later than planned Have no previous experience in undertaking a research project Literature specific to my line of inquiry in the dance field is limited Criteria for observations not set Interview questions not set
OPPORTUNITIES Improvements may be made in my personal teaching practice Results could allow for all students I teach to feel engaged in learning and challenged within their own capabilities Improve my knowledge and understanding in this field which could in turn help me to gain future work opportunities (both within in the arts and other teaching opportunities) Help other teachers	THREATS Other work commitments to contend with. Information provided could be false or inaccurate. Am working to other deadlines at the school (choreography for end of term show), research must not affect this.
