Introduction and stepping into research for teacher development
Moderators: Asli Saglam & Kenan Dikilitas
Objectives of the week
Welcome to Week 1!
After introducing yourself to the other EVO members, you will explore the characteristics of teacher development and discuss potential contributions of research to continuing professional development. This week we will be listening to and reading various sources and sharing ideas with others online.
Hopefully at the end of the week we will be on the same page regarding the steps of action research and be ready to discuss its potential impact on teaching and professional development.

Dear Koray,
I have managed to reach this page so far but I kept receiving messages saying that I have to join the Google Plus Community (which I think I did via wiki). Did I miss any steps during registration last week? I appreciate your kind assistance in this matter. Thanks.

We hope it isn't too much so early on in the course. We have just 5 weeks and have so much to learn!
