  3. STRENGTHS & POTENTIAL “[COE] has built strong partnerships with K-12 schools and regional communities over the years as well as, more recently, interdisciplinary partnerships with faculty and programs in Liberal Arts, Health Sciences, Engineering, and Science/Mathematics.” Washington Advisory Group National Network for Educational Renewal School-University-Community partnerships Service-learning Bilingual education Cooperative learning Strategic themes topics: Areas of COEd strength with potential for further investigation

  4. STRENGTHS & POTENTIAL “[The College] has obtained and implemented numerous grants, mainly from the U.S. Department of Education. . . These grants have focused primarily on teacher training and outreach …and provide significant opportunities for publishable follow-up and outcomes research on student achievement.” Washington Advisory Group Bilingual Education Mathematics and Science Second language acquisition English Language Learners (ELLs) Diversity in higher education Strategic themes topics: Areas of COEd strength with potential for further investigation

  5. STRENGTHS & POTENTIAL “The College has a well-articulated plan to build on existing activities and partnerships, exploiting the fact that the relatively isolated local area is virtually a “closed loop” in which to conduct research.” Washington Advisory Group • UTEP was selected as one of 11 universities to receive $5 million as part of the Carnegie Corporation’s Teachers for a New Era Initiative. • This visionary reform initiative is designed to build on existing strengths to stimulate development of excellent teacher education programs. • UTEP and the other 10 selected universities are engaged in developing research and policy for development of this national dissemination model. Strategic themes topics: Areas of COEd strength with potential for further investigation

  6. CULTURE OF INQUIRY Creating a Culture of Inquiry “The challenges this College faces are the familiar ones: lack of research oriented tenured faculty to mentor the new junior recruits; teaching loads that Include a lot of time in the field…” Washington Advisory Group Developing the Infrastructure Faculty recruitment and socialization Creating a vibrant, powerful environment Identifying Research Interests, Expertise, Directions Reorganizing (Optimal Use of Intellectual Resources) Release time, Review of Tenure and Promotion Policies Web Portal to Enhance Information Sharing & Communication

  7. INTERDISCIPLINARY SYNERGY “Among the specific potential sources of funding they are pursuing are Interdisciplinary collaborations to respond to RFPs from NIH, NEH, etc. in the areas of health, education, and community development, building on existing grants as seed money for larger research projects; and getting further grants from Carnegie and FIPSE. One of these grants, for example, examines the ways in which innovative teaching impacts engineering students to Improve retention.” Washington Advisory Group TNE/ELL (Inter-institutional) FIPSE (UTEP, UNT, UND, UM) UTEP/UACJ Critical Pedagogy Adult Literacy (the GREAT Center) TETC and Hewlett Packard (COEng-COEd as co-PIs) COEd-COLA Faculty—(Bilingualism, cognition, school improvement) Service learning initiatives (with COLA’s Center for Civic Engagement) TAMU/Sam Houston U./UTEP (ELL Research) UTA/UTEP (Research Academies)

  8. ENHANCING COMMUNICATION • Faculty meetings have been convened to discuss research needs have yielded a variety of areas of need as well as strengths and potential for growth. • Suggestions from COE faculty include the need to: • rethink faculty roles and rewards • build strong infrastructure • increase technology access • provide mentors for untenured faculty • reorganize and encourage collaboration across departments • provide ORSP-type support at college level
