Super helpful for getting organized with my research process! Gave me a lot of great ideas, helped me get specific with my reading list, and laid the foundations for (hopefully) a solid plan moving forward.
I’d actually recommend this to any educator, even if you’re not actively pursuing a research project. It’s an interesting perspective on improving your craft in formal and informal ways.
