K-12 Teacher Inquiry and Reflections describes a graduate program for PK-12 teachers who have engaged in systematically studying their own classrooms. The teachers explain their action research projects and the enduring impact the MA with a focus on Reflective Practice (MARP) has had on their teaching.

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.
