Thanks, Brian – it is indeed a frustrating situation since the AD in question is the AD of Teaching and Learning… Someone help me.
I’ve been considering approaching it from a SoTL research perspective and seeing if I can find some funding that way. But I appreciate your suggestion of looking more broadly – we are not per se part of a broader system of schools like you folks in California but I’ll keep hunting for any available sources of development funding at different levels for sure!
Thanks for the commiseration – it’s been a week!
