Accomplishments in teaching, research and service without evidence of significant scholarly contribution do not fulfill the scholarship requirement for promotion and tenure. Within the College of Education, we highly value scholarship that serves public education entities, including undergraduate and graduate students, practicing educators, local education agencies, state agencies, and national agencies and organizations. We value the use of scholarly inquiry to improve professional practice.
Interdisciplinary collaborations are inherent in our scholarly endeavors.
Such collaborations are encouraged within our college, across the university, and within the state. It is through such partnerships that scholarship can address the needs of our constituents. These dimensions support an environment which allows broad opportunities for faculty to engage in focused and productive scholarly activities reflecting each professors distinctive strengths. Documentation of improved practice in collaboration with agencies, individuals and groups. Documentation of innovative pedagogical methods and materials.
