Description
This interactive session is designed for teachers, teacher educators and providers of professional development. Panelists--teacher researchers and teacher educators- will offer a brief overview of the process of teacher research and the implications for teachers and teacher educators. The session will include both state of the art of teacher research and practical ideas for implementing teacher research. If the audience is small enough the panelists will meet in small groups to address inquiries around practice. Participants will learn about a variety of research tools that support inquiry in centers and college campuses.
