One of the things that I love about the program here at SUNY is that staff has integrated a well-oiled research machine right into the daily operations. They have a growing theoretical/pedagogical framework from which they are building. Apparently, each year they pose hypotheses based on that framework. They construct and conduct faculty and student surveys at the end of every semester to test their hypotheses. And then they take the results of their research and roll them back into the next year’s faculty training. Very slick.
I haven’t had a chance to give their research papers my full attention yet, but once I do I will blog about what I’m learning from them. In the meantime, you can read them yourself here.
