Teacher Research Group:
Until mid-march Dr. Bill Baird, University of Auburn is teaching a masters
level course for teachers on ways to become a wise consumer of educational
research. Among the tasks they will take on are
- reading a published article each week from JRST or Science Education and writing up an abstract of it;
- reading chapters from "Research That Informs Teachers and Teacher Educators" by Donald Cruickshank, Phi Delta Kappa; and "Research Within Reach: Science Education", edited by David Holdzkom and Pamela Lutz, NSTA;
- planning and presenting a proposal for action research in the classroom. They are reading "Action Research: Perspectives from Teachers' Classrooms", edited by Samuel Spiegel, Angelo Collins, and James Lappert, SERVE: Tallahassee, FL.
They are interested in dialogue with others who have traveled similar trails
or might have wisdom to share. The electronic mail class address is:
