Discuss any potential issues (strengths or needs) regarding your measurement tools as they relate to diversity
or social justice.
Include copies of your measure, log sheets, behavioral chart system, or other measurement tools in the
Appendix.

Why are you using this particular type of group research design, and what are the potential benefits and
problems associated with using this type of design?
