Learning Alongside your Students
As culturally responsive teacher, practitioner research is a call to action, speaking up and validating the experiences of learning in their classroom as only they can tell them, rather than being usurped by others trying to tell about education and what is happening. As teacher researchers we want to share the stories of our classrooms as we make sense of it for ourselves and for others. APA style is the acceptable standard that can connect us to a greater academic community.
