This book offers examples of reflective teacher researchers in action. Classroom teachers at all stages of professional development, from novice to experienced teacher researchers, will find the observations of these authors especially helpful. "Research in the Classroom" expands our collective understanding of how we use oral and written language to learn, and it will inspire everyone interested in teacher research to continue using the classroom as a laboratory for further exploration.
