Faculty Research Residencies of the National College of Education provide a vehicle for curriculum renewal through small field engaged research projects. Each residency convenes a team of faculty members to work on a project that:
- Identifies a problem of practice for investigation
- Develops a coherent research plan to investigate the problem in one or more schools
- Targets three or more courses that are delivered within or across academic programs that will be improved as a result of the proposed research
This series includes the final reports from these residencies. For questions about the NCE Research Residencies, please contact Diane Salmon.
