Teacher Researchers at Work
Download the flyer for this program
This 45-hour teacher research project will culminate in a spring research symposium on April 2, during which we will share our work. The project will combine online collaboration, small group work, and writing retreats.
As teachers, we often talk about our best practices; we identify research/inquiry questions; we make plans for gathering data, yet despite our best intentions, we rarely finish our projects. What stops us?
- Time
- Collaboration
- Motivation/Incentive
- Purpose/audience
This project is designed to address these problems. Let’s conduct inquiry projects that allow us to describe ourselves instead of allowing others to describe us and our work.
Cost? Free to Writing Project TC’s and only $50 for colleagues. 3 CSUC professional development units available for purchase.
