K-12 Teacher Inquiry and Reflections: A Pathway to Enduring Transformation features the key components of a five-semester graduate program with a focus on Reflective Practice (MARP) for K-12 classroom teachers. In this program, students focus on the study of their own teaching, action research implementation and analysis, reflective practice experiences, and transformations teachers experienced because of their participation in this program. The book is divided into three sections and an introduction. The Introduction explains the historical foundations of MARP, with an in-depth exploration of the key elements of MARP featuring the voices of its founders. Section One features detailed explanations of action research PK teachers conducted, followed by a long-term reflection of their MARP experiences and its effects on them as teachers. Section Two includes chapters written by teachers explaining how they thoughtfully transformed their teaching practices and their overall teaching philosophies. In Section Three, faculty who teach in this five-semester graduate program describe their own collaborative teaching, experiences for students, key assignments, course objectives, classroom activities, readings, and discussions that are the foundation of the MARP experience for students.

This book is the peer teacher everyone wishes they had been assigned when they entered the profession and the refresher veteran teachers might be searching for later in their career. But, teachers are busy. Really busy. Exhaustingly busy- we don't want this book to be one more thing that consumes your spare time. It is important to us that each chapter can be read independent of one another, in any particular order, and in short bursts, so if you need some quick tips on the fly, we want you to be able to find what you need and save the rest for another spare moment. The chapters are arranged chronologically to take you through the school year, but it doesn't need to be read that way. You get to read what will help in the moment.
