School will develop best practices through research

UCP of Central Florida's East Orange/Bailes Campus will be a research site – developing and testing best and promising practices that will be implemented and shared with other schools and organizations in order to improve and enhance children's learning. In order to facilitate this research:

• each classroom will be wired for observation.
• parent consent must be obtained as part of the family’s enrollment agreement.
• UCP of Central Florida's Institutional Review Board (IRB) will review all research proposals and determine the relevance of the research and the relative risk associated with the proposal.
• parents will receive information on each project and in cases where direct student participation is requested, students will be offered the opportunity to consent to or decline involvement.
