Distant Teachers

The Art of Classroom Inquiry

Chapter 5 The Legacy of Distant Teachers

Chapter 5 helps show the next steps after teacher researchers develop the research questions. The authors refer to “distant teachers” as those we can learn from but who are separated from us by distance or time. We can access these distant teachers through their bodies of research and literature. Our research and wonderings become framed by their collective knowledge and can guide us as we begin to try out our own developing theories in the classroom.

Please read Chapter 5 and post to your blog three statements of what you learned from the reading and one question you have. Remember you will also need to post your research question Thursday night.
