  1. Your project looks feasible, however, you have to consider what might your anticipated outcomes be, how might you change your practice, or the practice of your department to ensure that all learners achieve.

    You also state that you will investigate schools and colleges, other than your own, I think you have to be careful about the amount of data you will generate with approaching too many institutions, keep it manageable, also are you going to focus on a particular area of the college on which to carry out a comparison?
