We'll explore how storytelling can propel educators to change practice. We'll read and discuss an article about teacher-researchers written by an EdSurge reporter. We'll discuss the article in the context of our own teaching settings, and leave with ideas about how to develop a plan for teacher-led research in our own classrooms.
