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?
