Description

Teachers are the single most important element in helping every child succeed in school. Making Classroom Inquiry Work: Techniques for Effective Action Research is designed to serve those who wish to delve deeper into their action research or as leaders in teacher research and reflective practice.
Robert P. Pelton is also the author of Action Research for Teacher Candidates: Using Classroom Data to Enhance Instruction, written in the hopes of equipping teachers-in-training with the skills needed for action research: a process that leads to focused, effective, and responsive strategies that help students succeed. These two books serve as both a perfect training curriculum for pre-service teachers at the undergraduate or graduate level and as an excellent vehicle for professional development for in-service teachers.

Reviews

  • The information in this book takes the guess work out of classroom inquiry. Action research is helping me better meet the needs of my students.

    Rachel Carpenter Heller, teacher, Woodburn Elementary School, Morgantown, West Virginia

  • By using the guidance provided in this book, I was able to decide on a topic and make sense of my action research results.

    Lauren Miksa, second grade teacher, Mechanicsville Elementary School, Maryland

  • This book provides the reader with a thoughtful examination of the most critical issues confronted by teachers seeking to use action research to improve the quality of their students' education.

    Richard Sagor, founding director of the Institute for the Study of Inquiry in Education

  • This book helped our school and university partnership to successfully communicate and implement action research within our schoolhouse. As a result, all stakeholders were aware of the value, potential and outcomes of well though-out classroom inquiry.

    Sharon A. Kearney, principal, Sparks Elementary School, Maryland
