Book Title: The Reflective Educator's Guide to Classroom Research: Learning to Teach and Teaching to Learn Through Practitioner Inquiry (Fourth Edition)

Author: Nancy Fichtman Dana and Diane Yendol-Hoppey

Selection Statement:

I almost always have this book open on my desk. It is a book I practically know by heart, yet continue to reread because it helps me ground my work in joyful ways. As a fourth-grade teacher, I fell in love with the curious, wonder-filled inquiry approach to teaching and research that the book promotes. It taught me to advocate and innovate. The lead author eventually became my Ph.D. mentor and dear friend. I am honored to still get to learn from Nancy Dana, and her work, each day.
