Super for teachers!

I read this book in graduate school. Marilyn Cochran-Smith gives excellent examples of teachers researching their own classrooms and practices in order to improve their teaching. I enjoy the original sources used in the text. It's a great resource for teachers looking for answers to questions about their individual practice. I've used strategies in the book on many occassions to improve my work as an elementary teacher.
