Dissemination means “to spread your information” (Dissemination, n.d.). This is the last phase of the research process as the information is prepared to communicate findings to an appropriate audience (Whittemore & Melkus, n.d.). In order to be most effective, the plan of how you will disseminate your findings needs to be developed prior to completing the study (Whittemore & Melkus, n.d.). Dissemination can be done through a variety of methods, some of which are presenting at a conference or publishing your information in a professional journal (Merriam & Tisdell, 2016). It is important to get the information and data you have collected into the hands of other professionals in your field. “Your contribution is to share your knowledge so that others can learn from it and develop it” (McNiff & Whitehead, p. 166, 2009). In order to disseminate the research I have done over the past couple weeks I plan on presenting at a conference. The school I teach at is part of an association that has a teacher conference each fall. At this conference, they request for teachers to volunteer to lead breakout sessions. I am planning to lead one of these sessions at our next conference in the fall of 2016 to present “The Benefits of Building Relationships and Improving Grades with the Flipped Classroom.”
