RESEARCH, DISCOVERY, AND INNOVATION (RDI)
Tag Line
Tackling the most challenging issues in education requires us to ask difficult questions, undertake systematic inquiry, leverage current understandings while creating new knowledge, and employ creative problem solving. Research across the School of Education (SOE) is supported by the Division of Research, Discovery & Innovation (RDI).
RESEARCH
Creating and developing knowledge.
We support faculty, staff and students who are developing new ideas, seeking financial support for projects, or engaging in contractual partnerships.
DISCOVERY
Discovering areas for collaboration.
We believe that attempting to solve real-world problems of education is important. The innovation mindset is one of translating what is learned within in the academy into education practice. Innovation also means being courageous in the face of complicated problems and creating processes and tools to make a difference.
INNOVATION
Finding innovative ways to make a sustainable impact.
We connect faculty, staff, and students in the School of Education that have specific areas of expertise with those in the community that have the need with the goal of creating partnerships that can make an impact.
