Research Informed Schools
We would like to facilitate the growth of professional networks for educators working with research in K-12 schools.
We are interested in two related but distinct applications of research in schools:
1. Leveraging teacher action research as professional development through the creation of local support structures for interested teacher-researchers; and
2. Creating original research to inform K-12 practice, both in the school where the research is conducted and beyond.
We believe that action research that is autonomous, collaborative, classroom-based, and ongoing contributes to teacher well being, healthy school cultures, and positive learning environments for children.
We believe that educators in K-12 settings are responsible for ongoing reflection about teaching and learning, the purpose of school, and the real outcomes of schooling. We therefore support original research carried out by school faculty members, at the school, in order to inform practice.
