The number of faculty members must be sufficient to provide program continuity, proper frequency of course offerings, appropriate levels of student-faculty interaction, and effective student advising and counseling. Each program must have effective leadership through a full-time faculty member with defined leadership responsibilities for the program. The program faculty must have sufficient responsibility and authority to define, revise, implement, and achieve program objectives (ABET, 2007, p.7).1 The nature, demands, and vocabulary of scholarship are also evolving.

At those times when the teacher feels that he/she is no longer in control andothers ( be it learners, colleagues, or superiors) are in charge of his/her plans, actions, anddestiny. It can be dangerous and humiliating for the teacher to feel that he/she is off track,particularly when others step in to define his/her roles, aims, and functions. It may also befrustrating to realize that he/she is devoting a lot of time and tremendous energies withlittle or no positive outcome. However, with an organizing vision, the teacher is lesslikely to suffer from these feelings of uncertainty. A clear sense of purpose helps theteacher to endure periods

We then used that feedback to revise each case report.Our cross-case analysis worked in a similar way, looking for themes across the entire data set.While each institution was unique, there were commonalities across the group that enabled us todraw a number of conclusions about the curricular change process.
