It's not strawberry rhubard pie, but it might be a dissertation ;) It helps me to break the monster up into manageable chunks, with separate questions and data. Right now, I have a decent handle on the qualitative stuff, and the other stuff could be out in left field. We'll see...
Qualitative: What have instructional policies done to reading instruction and teachers' role in schools; How have teachers learned about reading policies and modulated these reform efforts
Quantitative: NAEP reading scores- what have accountability & instructional policies done to the achievement gap (perhaps across different states)
Historical/Sociological/Theoretical perspective: History of teachers as change-agents; how teachers are controlled/exert control in schools; how the organization of schools leads to teachers altering policies (Do we have evidence of this from different time periods??)

This is great, Sarah. You inspire me to break up the pieces of my pie into more manageable chunks. I have a lot of notes (ingredients) scribbled into my notebook, but haven't split them up neatly lately to see what kind of pie comes out. The blog is a great place to do this though!
