Engaging in Practitioner Research
Session Overview
In this talk Alf will propose practitioner research as a vehicle both for researching our own practice as leaders of professional development, and as a vehicle for getting teachers engaging in research.
Alf has made use of practitioner research for the last 25 years and will draw on this experience, and the work of others, to distill out some features of what makes such work impactful, including in the area of leading professional development with teachers. There will be an opportunity to discuss your own practice in leading professional development and consider implications.
