Teacher research and why it is more important than ever for our schools

In the 1970s, the Bay Area Writing Project in the United States had just embarked on a first wave of teacher research collaborations. A decade later, reports were coming through of transformations experienced by teachers and their students when educators engaged in classroom-based research.

If the answer to all of the five questions is ‘no’, then disclosure should be unnecessary, and should be avoided, at least for now.
