Welcome from the Chair Dear Colleagues,

This newsletter, sponsored by the Faculty Research and Devel-

opment Committee, highlights the research and scholarship

accomplishments of the faculty of the College of Educa-

tion. We are proud of the broad range of conference presenta-

tions as well as the variety of publications in a plethora of jour-

nals.

For the past two years we have created an ongoing celebration

of our research that occurs in a COE spring meeting. On

March 31st, we are excited to host a sharing of research by

both France Merrick Scholars and others from the College of

Education. This will include both works-in-progress as well as

completed projects. In addition, we invite faculty of the COE to

consider sponsoring a “critical conversation” table where you

will lead a discussion of a relevant topic in education based on

your work in the field as a practitioner.

A special thank you to Hae Kyoung Kim for editing the news-

letter and to Jennifer Dippel for making Campus Labs available

for data collection. To the entire faculty of the COE-- we wish

you happy holidays and thank you for your dedication to re-

search, scholarship, and sharing best practices of the field with

colleagues.
