Teacher Inquiry Communities Network

Established in 2000, the Teacher Inquiry Communities (TIC) Network is a national network that supports NWP sites interested in taking an inquiry stance toward teaching and learning.

The goals of the TIC Network are to

• support site practices that promote the professionalization of practice through teacher inquiry
• provide tools, resources, and a range of frameworks for sites interested in supporting teacher inquiry communities and practitioner research
• generate, sustain, and advocate for collaborative teacher dialogue that builds from reflective, systematic, and intentional inquiry
• disseminate knowledge gained from local teacher-researchers and teacher inquiry communities within the NWP network
• promote Writing Project communities interested in critical inquiry and inquiry as stance.
