Abstract
This article describes the habits of mind that three middle-school teachers developed after taking two action research classes, “Introduction to Action Research” in which they learned about action research and “Seminar in Action Research” in which they conducted an action research study that explored a significant teaching question. Not surprising in courses of this nature, the teachers learned concrete facts and processes specific to conducting action research. However, in this article I describe how the habits of mind that the teachers developed across the year helped them reinvent their definition of teaching to include being researchers.
