Some academic journals publish teacher research, though much of it is focused on higher education rather than K-12 or is written by faculty or researchers from higher educational institutions about K-12 education. Our experience of these is that they are most likely to be written by University faculty about K-12 contexts rather than by K-12 teachers.
