NWP Teacher-Researcher Badge: Guidance Criteria

65 views 0

Summary: The National Writing Project awards badges to educators who have organized, led and/or taken part in leadership development events focused on the teacher as researcher. The guidance criteria for earning the Teacher-Researcher Badge are detailed on this page.


What does it mean to be micro-credentialed as a teacher-researcher at the National Writing Project (NWP)? Teacher research is one of the core social practices of National Writing Project teacher-leaders. This badge acknowledges teachers who exemplify an action-oriented reflective stance in their own research on teaching and learning.

Connection to Core Principles: NWP teachers demonstrate a deep knowledge of teaching developed through study, research, and reflection. Teacher-leaders engage in meaningful inquiry about how different practices affect student learning. This badge recognizes the efforts
of teachers to develop and strengthen their writing instruction through the research cycle.
