Opis

Brause and Mayher's powerful message is that many teachers do not realize their potential as educators because they lack sound knowledge to back up and properly implement their ideas. They provide guidance on how to read research and how to conduct research in the classroom. They aim to engender in teachers an awareness of the possibility of research to broaden their outlook of their profession.
