Hi all,
We are in a position of needing about 20 chemcom books for next semester and we
have no budget (of course). Would anyone have chemcom books that they would
not be using second semester that we could borrow?

Why Teacher Action Research?
Teacher action research challenges teachers to systematically collect
meaningful data and use it to evaluate and better their teaching practice, as
well as share their findings to achieve broader education reform. Involving
teachers in research engages teachers as experts in their own classrooms and
gives them voice as education reformers. It empowers teachers to adapt their
practice to evolving classrooms, continually develop as professionals, and
define what data matters in their classrooms. Currently, few opportunities for
teachers to publish their research exist.
