Teacher research is an extension of good teaching, observing students closely, analysing their needs, and adjusting the curriculum to fit the needs of all. In this completely updated second edition of their definitive work, Ruth Shagoury and Brenda Miller Power present a framework for teacher research along with an extensive collection of narratives from teachers-novices and veterans from all backgrounds and parts of the country-engaged in the process of designing and carrying out research projects to inform their instruction. Threaded throughout the chapters and narratives is a discussion of the emergence of digital tools and their effect on both teaching and the research process, along with an expanded number of research designs. The book has three primary components: chapters explaining key elements of the research process, research activities that enable readers to try out the featured strategies and techniques, and teacher-researcher essays that share details of completed projects and discuss the impact they have had in the classroom. Living the Questions, Second Edition: A Guide for Teacher-Researchers will take you step-by-step through the process of designing, implementing, and publishing your research. Along the way, it will introduce you to dozens of kindred spirits who are finding new passion for teaching by "living the questions" every day in their classrooms. You will be reminded of why you became a teacher yourself.
