In addition, changes in teaching practice are frequently not evidentimmediately after participating in professional development; often instructors need time toimplement and incorporate what they have learned into their teaching practice.The purpose of our study is to explore the lasting impact of the SICR on faculty participants. Inparticular, this study focused on three research questions: 1) What elements from the SICR dofaculty describe as practices that they continue to use in the design and implementation of theircourses more than two years after participation?, 2) What do faculty describe as challenges inimplementing their redesigned courses since participating in the SICR?, and 3) What do facultydescribe as positive
