ABSTRACT
Once all of your analyses have been completed, you are confronted with the decision of how and with whom to share your inquiry. Written reports, in the form of publishable articles or chapters, or orally shared conference presentations, come from the products of data analyses. We noted earlier in the book that not every research study needs to be written up. However, we do think that the expertise and experiences of teacher researchers can contribute greatly to a range of audiences. That is, written reports can be a means to document the problems and dilemmas that teacher researchers as individuals have addressed and solved, which may also contribute to the understandings of the culture and practices of their school and/or district. But their reports may also offer relevant information for the educational community at large. Thus, learning how to compose texts that can be published and/or presented to a wider audience is important.
