Two Deans were actively involved in the workshop. With regard to the elements of classroom research, this seems more inclusive and appropriate. The name was developed by Dr. Patricia Chandler, a member of the group. Currently the group is discussing ideas for classroom research projects to commence this fall. To facilitate this discussion, the group is reading Cross and Steadman s book, previously mentioned.
Meetings start with discussions on the assigned chapter.
The Vice President for Academic Affairs has supplied funds to cover attendance at the AAHE meeting and the summer workshop. Classroom research projects will start this fall. Biweekly meetings will continue, with one meeting per month devoted to discussions of an educational focus. At the second meeting of each month, faculty will discuss their progress in classroom research and any problems they have encountered. Another workshop will also be held this winter.
