Communities for Teacher Research: Fringe or Forefront?
Cochran-Smith, Marilyn; Lytle, Susan L.
American Journal of Education, v100 n3 p298-324 May 1992
Overcoming obstacles to teacher research about their own educational practices requires the formation of intellectual communities of teacher-researchers or networks of teachers. An analytic framework is presented for interpreting and evaluating the work of such groups according to how they use time, talk, construct texts, and interpret teaching tasks. (SLD)
