Support for new faculty. I would like to see a CEE support and help current teaching methods that may have been developed elsewhere. I find less value in trying to start our own research into the process of learning. Research grants get more than enough emphasis. It is a good idea, if there is very little extra time commitments required from faculty.
Teaching is suppose to be very important at Rose.
But don't recreate the wheel. Release time is essential for implementation. I think this would be very useful esp. I prefer an organized presentation or workshop, over lunch time. I think we have very talented students, but I think there is still more they can accomplish.
