The 5th Annual Teachers as Researchers Conference will be held at UNH
Manchester on Friday, May 4. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and presentations
are scheduled until 3 p.m.
The conference is the capstone event for the UNHM Master of Education
and Master of Arts in Teaching programs. More than 50 presenters from
around the country will include UNHM M.Ed. and M.A.T. candidates, faculty

The Teachers as Researchers Conference highlights the valuable role

conference serves as an opportunity for interested educators to network
with colleagues, share their work, and deepen their understanding of
teacher research.
Some of the topics presented this year will include “Cultural
Identity: Focus on what ELL students do know- not on what they don't”; “Using
Science Buddies to Encourage Scientific Inquiry”; “The Benefits
of Service Learning for High School Students”; “Best Practices
for Literature Circles in the Third Grade”; and “Teaching
content for language development: High expectations for special needs
students”.
