Professional Development through Graduate Study: Using Academic Research to Inform Professional Practices
Gonzalves, Lisa
CATESOL Journal, v23 n1 p92-98 2011-2012
In this article, the author discusses how learning to effectively conduct, analyze, and present research has had an impact on her academic success, her ongoing development as an ESL teacher, and her proposals and protocols as the ESL department coordinator at an adult school in the Bay Area. The author triangulates these 3 areas of impact to demonstrate how the ability to employ research as a tool has provided her more knowledge and authority as a teacher and administrator.
