All faculty participate in a cooperative, each of which is supported by a chair, program associate and program assistant. As a function of this dynamic cooperative structure, issues raised in practice become research questions, and research findings in turn can be shared in the classroom and back in the practice setting. The cooperative structure helps the school realize the true power of a research-driven school.
