Under the leadership of Instructional Leader Kari McVeigh, 75 teachers from 18 schools recently completed a year-long Teacher Inquiry Project, funded by a grant from Cal Coast Credit Union, in order to make themselves better teachers and their students better learners.
Each teacher, ranging in teaching experience from one to 32 years, focused on a specific aspect of his or her profession. They then spent the year testing and analyzing data. The purpose of the project was to gain insight into their profession, share with each other and help students achieve more.
