Study Group Applications Now Available	Study Group Applications Now Available The Mid-Hudson Teacher Center is committed to helping educators engage in continuous inquiry and reflection about their work and the work of their students. MHTC feels that by asking essential questions about how students learn, by investigating what strategies and practices are effective, and by learning about new information, knowledge and research that informs the field, teachers can become more skilled practitioners and students can become more engaged learners. One of the ways we hope to support our teachers is through Study Groups. Study Group is a small group of professional colleagues and other school-related personnel from members of the MHTC consortium who come together to examine, research, and discuss a topic of shared interest in order to improve their practice and the learning of their students and/or the effectiveness of their school. The study itself should be teacher-driven. The study group may be constructed in three different ways. It may be a new group of educators examining a new topic, a group of educators who have previously studied a topic and are now focusing on a new topic, or a group of educators who would like to continue to explore a topic they may have been examining during an earlier study.
