Self-Reflection Questions

1. What are the specific implementation strategies that you will be focusing on in your proposed research and why have you selected them (e.g. do they fit the context)?
2. How do the strategies relate to your conceptual model, theory, or framework?

Bonus: Pick at least one implementation strategy of relevance to your work and describe it using Proctor’s specifications.
