Informationen zum Autor Edited by Roger Neilson Brindley and Christine M. Crocco - Foreword by Nancy Fichtman Dana - Contributions by Christopher S. Christoff; Lisa A. Fisher; Leslie Frick; Matthew Gruhl; Danielle Lawrence; Cynthia Tehan; Janet Tolson; Karen Wood and Karen Zanto Klappentext Empowering the Voice of the Teacher Researcher through a Culture of Inquiry is essentially a description of one school's initiatives to use collaborative communities and action research to empower teacher research and a culture of collective inquiry. It is written by teachers primarily for teachers and teacher educators. Because administrative support is foundational to the process, school and district administrators and staff developers will also be interested in reading about how this school's principal and assistant principal set the stage for developing their community of learners. What sets this text apart are the first-person accounts of teachers' experiences with action research as examples of profound possibilities for professional growth.
