Through the Lens of a Critical Friend. Teacher research and why it is more important than ever for our schools. Is teacher research still important and relevant?
In the 1970s, the Bay Area Writing Project in the United States had just embarked on a first wave of teacher research collaborations. A decade later, reports were coming through of transformations experienced by teachers and their students when educators engaged in classroom-based research.

Deciding which laws apply and what information to share can be complicated, but there are some guiding rules.
