December 1997
Mass Field Center Teacher-Researcher Seminar
to be Held In March
The Massachusetts Field Center for Teaching and Learning will sponsor a Teacher Researcher Conference on March 5, 1998 at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. A key benefit of teacher research, according to teachers engaged in it, is that it helps them more clearly understand their classroom teaching and their students' learning.
This conference will afford educators, from kindergarten through college level, and those who prepare them, an opportunity to develop awareness of classroom-based research, share expertise, learn the nuts and bolts of systematic inquiry, and consider strategies for organizing support networks.
If you are an educator looking for ways to gain deeper insight into your own teaching, to fine-tune good practice, or to prepare for a major change, the Teacher Researcher Seminar can help develop the habits and skills of reflective practice. For Massachusetts teachers, six professional development points may be awarded for attending this seminar.
