This is a concise "how-to" guide for action research, a process in which teachers experiment with various techniques and strategies at the classroom level. Action researchers review outcomes with peers and administration and then implement the most effective results in their own local situations. Action research can be an important catalyst for the success of your school, and this book shows you the way. Action research will renew your teachers' enthusiasm, promote teacher and principal cooperation, and help you adapt teaching methods that are more appropriate to your school's particular needs.
