Teacher Research Links
- The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)
http://www.ncte.org
maintains The Research Foundation for teacher research providing grants
of up to $5,000 for classroom teachers, Pre-K-12, to explore questions
related to teaching English/Language Arts. Applicants must be members

- The National Center for the Study of Writing and Literacy (NCWL)
http://www-gse.berkeley.edu/research/NCSWL/csw.homepage.html.
The center was an independent research center sponsored by the U.S.
Dept. of Education and was affiliated with the NWP. It supported research
projects examining how students learn to write, how teachers can best
help students who come from an increasing diversity of cultural backgrounds,
and how writing can be used more effectively across the curriculum.
The National Writing Project (NWP).
The NWP's mission is to improve
the teaching of writing and improve learning in the nation's schools.
Through its professional development model, the National
Writing Project recognizes the primary importance of teacher
knowledge, expertise, and leadership. To find a local site, go to:

and knowledge produced by well-constructed teacher/educator-research;
(2) to provide teacher/educator-researchers with the opportunity
to enhance their research skills through consultation with others
in the teacher/educator-research and/or traditional academic communities;
and (3) to support high quality teacher/education research projects.
Teacher as Researcher,
a SIG of American Educational Research Association
(AERA). This special interest group of AERA is dedicated to showcasing
research on practice by teachers K-12 and the work of teachers involved
in adult literacy settings, community colleges, or colleges and
universities. While this research can be conducted in collaboration
with university researchers, the study should reflect equity of
initiation, collection, analysis, and presentation, with teachers
sharing equal credit and responsibility.
