9 September 2010

Thank you for an intellectually stimulating evening. Your intellectual history maps provided you with a direction to talk about your research questions. Thinking about your map hopefully informed writing your Teacher Reflection #1  introducing yourself as a teacher. Please create a new page on your Social Justice webpage and post your Teacher Reflections on them.

• Teacher Reflection #2 (9/16) will focus on making deliberate connections to your master's coursework and other courses and how they influence and relate to your classroom. See page 12 of our syllabus.
• Teacher Reflection #3 (9/23) will focus on what you know about practitioner research and how you identify yourself as a teacher practitioner.
• Teacher Reflection #4 (9/30) will focus on your emerging question related to your classroom and why this is important for you and your students as co-researchers.

Please continue to reread, edit and refine each of your Teacher Reflections above for they will become the beginning sections of your Teacher Practitioner Descriptive Narrative.

On Thursday, September 23, we will conduct a Research Overview including APA style and talk more about our text Chapters 1, 2, 3, along with our Avery, Capitelli and Malarkey articles.

Since half of you will be attending Parent Conferences on Thursday, September 16, a Work at Home night is our alternative plan. Therefore, we will not meet.

Please read your syllabus, taking note of page 14, Checklist of Research Process for this semester.
