Triad Teacher Researchers
Empowering Teachers, Supporting Students
Who We Are
The Triad Teacher Researchers is a network of teachers dedicated to thoughtful teaching and learning.
We began as a group of four teachers who were looking for a supportive network of teacher researchers in the Triad area with the goal of impacting teacher and student learning through research. Our hope is to increase dialogue in central North Carolina about teacher research, create a community of supportive, passionate teachers, and to contribute to the professional body of knowledge about teaching and learning.
We meet monthly to support each other and discuss our current action research projects. If you are interested in joining us or finding out more, please click on the "contact us" link to the left or join us on Facebook.
TTR is a homegrown approach to individualize professional development, which is what we believe many teachers in our area are seeking. Recently, our group was featured on The University of North Carolina Greensboro's Inspire. Change. website. A similar story about the Triad Teacher Researchers can be found on UNCG's Campus Weekly.
Our group is growing, and we are hoping to expand our network of supportive teacher researchers. Please navigate the TTR website. Maybe you’ll find that our network fits your interests as well.
If you are interested in being placed on our email list, please notify us at triadteacherresearchers@gmail.com.
