Della Vecchia, Professor & Assistant Dean, College of Education, Towson UniversityLearn to conduct research rather than just consume research! Each school and classroom is different. Therefore teachers must learn, through their own inquiry, how to adjust their practices in ways that will improve teaching and learning.

Viviane Robinson and Mei Kuin Lai include step-by-step instructions, ready-to-use tools and examples of successful practitioner research projects. Practical yet rigorous, this collaborative process is ideal for use in professional learning communities. Focusing on the pragmatic aspects of embedding research into everyday practice, the authors demonstrate how to: - Develop an important, yet manageable research question - Select research methods appropriate to the question - Plan and conduct a research project that is both practical and rigorous - Use inquiry to reveal, critique, and revise taken-for-granted assumptions about how to teach - Use evidence to check the accuracy of claims about "what works" - Communicate the results of the research to a range of professional audiencesAppropriate for new and experienced teachers alike, this indispensable book provides a functional framework for developing a culture of inquiry among teachers based on high-quality information, mutually supportive critique, and a sustained focus on school improvement.
