The School of Education at Strathclyde is an enthusiastic supporter of teacher practitioner enquiry! A thread...
What is practitioner enquiry? For the uninitiated, it is the process of investigating aspects of our own practice, asking questions and challenging assumptions. It helps to make educators& #39; reflections more systematic and evidence informed.

Kate & colleagues @anna_d_beck, @NovaScottSQH wrote these two great posts for our School of Education blog, all about how practitioner enquiry can form the foundation for career-long professional learning: https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/schoolofeducation/blog/practitionerenquiryasabaseforcareerlongprofessionallearning/">https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanitie... and https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/schoolofeducation/blog/thenatureandpurposeofpractitionerenquiry/">https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanitie...
The School of Education& #39;s @JW_Firth wrote a book entitled "The Teacher& #39;s Guide to Research" which aims to demystify the process of engaging with and applying research in the classroom, and to support teachers who are conducting their own research: https://www.routledge.com/The-Teachers-Guide-to-Research-Engaging-with-Applying-and-Conducting/Firth/p/book/9781138336278">https://www.routledge.com/The-Teach...
