The Statistics Community of Practice has been meeting on an on-going basis,engaging in professional development on implementing a project-based curriculum andpedagogy as well as coding, supporting each other in teaching the new curriculum.

Knowing that instructors are unlikely todedicate days to internalizing a protocol, the COPUS authors’ developed the protocol to decreasethe training needed without sacrificing the integrity of the instrument. More intensive training isnecessary for more complex protocols such as the RTOP (to ensure inter-rate reliability) and theTDOP (which suggests three days to use the TDOP effectively). COPUS reduced the trainingrequirement to 1.5 hours, allowing STEM faculty members to act as peer observers [22].As a descriptive protocol, COPUS does not measure the efficacy of teaching practice nor does itprovide feedback to

The workrequired of home campus faculty seeking to develop exchange programs with internationalpartners is very labor-intensive [19]. Clearly there must be greater incentives for faculty toparticipate in these kinds of activities, or study abroad programs will continue to be perceived asa luxury and not a priority.Successful study abroad programs require significant administrative work in addition to facultyinvolvement.
