Course Description
This course explores the different types of research and resources available to teacher researchers, and to any educator who wishes to improve his/her practice. Emphasis is placed on library skills, article analysis, and connecting research with practice. As students work toward becoming more skilled consumers of educational research, they also reflect on their research context and begin identifying “fierce wonderings” of their own to pursue throughout the program.
Essential Questions
· How can we draw on the work of others to explore our "fierce wonderings" and enrich our practice?
· What defines the school and classroom communities in which we work, and how do we communicate our understanding of these contexts to others?
Setting Description
The document below is a preliminary description of my research setting. It was the “Put It To Practice” deliverable for this course.
