Practitioner Research as Staff Development: A Facilitator's Guide
was created for localities and programs interested in using inquiry
groups and research methods in their program improvement efforts. In
practitioner research staff development, participants systematically
conduct inquiry about their work and their students' learning, reflect
on their findings, and make informed decisions about implementing
changes in their practice and improving their program.
This guide provides the basic materials and information to implement
practitioner research as staff development in your program or region.
The process is organized into four meetings, each focused on a primary
stage of the research process:
Coming Up With A Research Question
Collecting Research Data
Analyzing Research Data
Making Our Research Knowledge Public
The Introduction to this Guide provides:
- An overview of practitioner research as staff development
- Information about using this guide
- Suggestions for facilitators and organizers of practitioner research
- Testimonies from practitioners who conducted research using this
process
