Through "teacher research", teachers engage in the systematic study of their own practice to answer questions they have about teaching and learning, and their own effectiveness. This book explores what teacher research in the early childhood setting looks like, why it is important to the field of early childhood education, and how teacher educators can support it. Including articles from NAEYC's "Voices of Practitioners" online journal, "Our Inquiry, Our Practice" offers a theoretical framework as well as lively accounts of teacher research in action.
