Research Discussion - Future Planning
Board reviewed topics and attendance for the 2003-2004 Research Discussions and began planning for future discussions. Conversation focused primarily on whether the discussions should continue, and if so, should form be altered for next year. Possible modifications included in depth discussion of a single speaker's research, a form of roundtable sharing to propagate new research ideas, on focusing on grant updates to generate faculty participation in research. It was also suggested that there be a host building for the meeting, and faculty actively engage in publicity for the event. The Board decided to continue the discussions next year with the same format of speakers with discussion following. Motion to continue discussions (Sherman, Wolfe)
Family Supports Update
Hennon brought story boards to illustrate the work thus far on the research for the web site. They showed bits of the content and how the links are connected through the board. Hennon stated that the template for the web site has yet to be decided, but the research for the site should be finished at the end of this term. The Board suggested monitoring copyrighted information, even having the students sign a disclaimer stating they did not purposely infringe copyrights.
Proposals
Submitted proposals include the evaluation of Dayton Magnet School Programs by Wang and Southern, and Speech Pathology and Education cooperating on Early Literacy for Exceptional Learners.
Motion to add Paula Boxie as Faculty Advisor. (Sherman, Wang)
Meeting adjourned at 1:30.
