Four assertions about

Scholarship in Education

1As educators, we have made a

commitment to further the educational missions of our institutions.

2The quality of the methods we

use to further those missions matter (they influence the outcomes);

therefore, we should strive to improve them.

3We can improve our methods

(and outcomes) through participation in communities.

4Participation in scholarly

communities can advance our careers and the careers of others.
