You don’t need a tweed jacket to be a researcher — in thousands of schools across North America, practising teachers conduct studies on best practices, alternative approaches, and effective learning strategies. Classroom teachers have experiences and opportunities unavailable to researchers in a university setting, and action research — site-based, teacher-conducted research — can have a valuable impact on the educational community.

<p>Yet many teachers don’t see their work as <i>real</i> research, and many other teachers have great ideas for research projects but don’t know where to begin. For these teachers, <i>Engaging in Action Research</i> demystifies the world of educational research and provides support, guidance, and encouragement. From creating a research plan to reporting findings, this book provides step-by-step instructions to help teachers conduct research projects in the classroom, using strategies that work. Get ready to investigate, analyze, and share!</p>
