I'm intrigued by the stated mandate of SCoPE as a place that brings together those with an interest in education research.
One activity I've always wanted to do around this mandate is to gather together and showcase all the education research currently being done in BC. Who are the researchers? What are they researching? What are the results of their research?
If we had a high level view of who is doing what education research in BC I'd then be keen to bring about interaction between researchers and practitioners to better facilitate transfer of research results into practice.
A place to start in this regard might be profiling the education research currently being conducted at SFU as well as a survey of the BC public post secondary sector to see what others are doing.
This can easily expand to include national and international education research initiatives.
