Growing Teacher Inquiry: Collaboration in a Partner School

Abstract

Madeira Junior-Senior High School is 1 of many school partners in Miami University's Institute for Educational Renewal. This article presents first-person accounts of 3 individuals closely involved in the partnership as it evolved at this school site. In this case, the collaboration centered on the incorporation of a teacher-as-inquirer component into the student teaching experience. This type of activity holds greater promise for preservice and in-service teacher development than traditional and clinical supervision models.
