Description
If you’re a science teacher, this collection will show you paths that others have found to deepen their understanding of the philosophy and practice of teacher research. If you’re a science-teacher educator, it will give you examples about the many ways in-service teachers can conduct inquiry. Either way, Teacher Research provides a memorable passage into “learning and growing.”
