What Participants Are Saying

“I was able to interpret my results and reflect on what led to them, and was able to begin thinking about future applications of an instructional strategy.“

Participant

“I am a reflective person and I am always tweaking the way I teach, my methodology. Teacher as a Researcher just made me intentionally reflect, document, and modify my instructional practices.”

Participant

“It definitely got me thinking about how I’m teaching and ways that I could change that might impact my students, even in just small doses.”

Participant

“I learned that some strategies work better than others for my students.”

Participant

“Some of the strategies that I tried had a negative effect, so I stopped using those … and used only the strategies that my students connected with and showed improvement with.”
