Index

"The fifth edition of The Reflective Educator's Guide to Practitioner Inquiry has me eager to work alongside teachers as they engage in inquiry! Its progression is sequenced in such a way that allows for teachers to inquiry independently or within a community of practitioners. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to address difficult (and sometimes contested) issues in the classroom while also developing in professional practice."
