Teacher Inquiry Communities Network

Liz Simons, a teacher-consultant with the Bay Area Writing Project, reviews Marilyn Cochran-Smith and Susan Lytle's recommended book, Inquiry as Stance, an extensive work on practitioner inquiry, which contains their revised theory, context for the movement, and eight chapters by practitioners illustrating their theory. See Susan talk about the book at this NWP In Person video.

As a companion to Teacher Researchers at Work, the earlier NWP book by Marian Mohr and Marion MacLean, Teacher Research for Better Schools helps teacher researchers and administrators place the work of teacher research in a larger context. 

The authors tell the stories of how research generated in their classrooms has affected teaching and learning beyond their classroom. Readers will gain insight into ways their own research can promote student learning, not only in their classrooms, but also in their schools and school districts. The writers tell inspiring stories of how their research motivated higher levels of professionalism among their colleagues and transformed school systems from the inside out.
