Research on Good Practice
“advice from colleagues” has the most influence on teacher professional practice (ex: this committee)
Next influential is graduate classes, then professional readings, and finally your undergrad degree
My Research
I would like to know how/if your participation on this committee impacts your practice?
I would like to have conversations with you about your work and your thinking about thinking.
Your Research?
Do you have a question about your own practice? Your learning?
What would you like to come to a better understanding of about your work?
How might you document and share this question?
