Work Circles: Developing Research Sensitive Teachers and Practice-Sensitive Researchers

The Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) and Graduate School of Education (GSE) of the University of California at Berkeley, working with partner schools, will investigate the pilot implementation of an innovative group research and professional development structure called a Work Circle. We will establish one Work Circle and investigate its organization, operation, and accomplishments over time. A flexible Work Circle model, modified and refined based on our research, could become a central component in larger professional development and systemic reform efforts.
