Synergistic Activities

Since 1991, Dr. Apple has facilitated more than 250 faculty development institutes (ranging from two to five days in length), including Learning to Learn Camps. These events, aimed at improving the quality of educational outcomes in higher education; through Process Education, have focused on:

• supporting facilitation of student learning through innovative strategies for faculty

• designing curricular materials to support process-oriented approaches

• using a quality process to assess outcomes at the course and program levels

• effectively integrating technology into the design of a curriculum and a course

Dr. Apple has served as paid consultant for several grants. These include the following NSF Grants:

• Integrated Design Engineering Assessment and Learning System (IDEALS), Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education (TIDEE) Consortium,  2007-2009

• Transferable Assessments for Capstone Engineering Design, Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education (TIDEE) Consortium, 2004-2007

• Enriched Learning Environments, University of Idaho, 2003-2006

• POGIL Dissemination—Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning, 2003-2004

• LUCID—A New Model for Computer-Assisted Instruction in Chemistry, SUNY Stony Brook, 1999-2001

• SUNY Oswego Institution-Wide Reform of Science, Mathematics & Technology Instruction, SUNY Oswego, 1998-2001

• Revitalizing Scientific Inquiry in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, 1994

Dr. Apple is responsible for the initial creation and organization of the Academy of Process Educators (www.processeducation.org), which is now an independent non-profit community of educators seeking change in education through the generation, dissemination, and archiving of research based on the principles of Process Education.
