0.3 Evolution of a department as a community of learners  (Page 6/7)

Steps to be Done in sessions of the ELMP annual two-day retreat:

• Define remaining terms in Glossary to assure a degree of precision and specificity in COL discussions.

• Provide examples of COL efforts, such as faculty symposia/round tables, assistance in seeking funding, developingapplications, and meaningful projects for sabbaticals, cooperative publishing and presentation opportunities, collaborative/teamteaching (with critique),…

• Seek“Transparency”as necessary to ensure smooth ELMP operations and equitable resource distributions for scholarlypursuits.

• Establish and refine the reporting process and format to track growth and outcomes of COL efforts. They will be especiallyuseful for the Dean’s Annual Report to the University and for NCATE Standard 5.

• To be determined. A work in progress.
