Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by four undergraduate faculty STEM reform networks that have had success in engaging faculty reformers for a sustained period of time and identifies the strategies they utilized to overcome these challenges. It is informed by the communities of practice literature and analyzes data gathered through document analysis, interviews, and observations. The findings reveal unique challenges that other reform networks may face and offers recommendations for future research and practice.
