MED 8005 Professional Inquiry
The course content emphasizes self-study learning, self-reflection, and using data results from one’s practice to improve the teaching-learning process. Candidates will identify a classroom practice for improvement that was highlighted from the data collected from the National Board Certified (NBC) portfolio. Candidates will design a plan to incorporate the new information into their practice and will take a leadership role in addressing problems of practice in their building and/or district. Each candidate will prepare a presentation explaining and summarizing his or her classroom research, thereby generating teacher knowledge, fostering collaboration with others, and working collaboratively within a professional learning organization.
