esearch • • • • OISE is a leader in education research and innovation nationally and internationally and our scholars are research leaders in their fields. Our faculty’s contributions have shaped education systems and have further strengthened our knowledge economy. Our research achievements are recognized by the impact of our work in society and also through the numerous awards and honours we receive each year. OISE’s faculty members are recipients of some of the largest Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grants in Canada, and our research excellence is recognized with nine Canada Research Chairs, an Ontario Research Chair and three endowed chairs. OISE’s preeminent community of scholars works collaboratively and interdisciplinarily in our research centres. These centres bring together students, faculty and staff to bridge policy and practice, foster knowledge mobilization and promote scholarship. We continually strive to support new and innovative research that challenges the norms and continues to educate the community at large. Our researchers ask questions and provide solutions that expand our reputation as an international leader in the research, teaching, and study of issues that matter in education. To support this excellence, OISE has recently created mentorship and professional development assistance to faculty. OISE Academic Plan 2004-09 Key Priority: Strengthen our research programs through mentoring junior faculty, improving the research infrastructure and demonstrating the value and impact of our scholarship. We also continue to explore innovative ways to support our researchers who develop educational products (e.g. web-based teaching and learning tools, curriculum material, research tools), by working closely with the U of T Innovation and Partnerships Office.} OISE’s Largest International Grant May Lead to Treatment for Autism Childhood is a crucial time of growth and possibility. Imagine not being able to distinguish between a human face and that of your family pet. Imagine seeing a world without gender, age, or race. Yet, nearly one million children in Canada and the United States may have difficulty with a simple task. Professor Kang Lee’s research, supported by a $1.84 million grant from the National Insitutes of Health, will investigate how typically developing infants and children recognize, perceive and categorize faces and their development over time. This work will lay an important foundation for the development of assessment and training methods to help children with facial processing deficits, as evidenced in children with autism.

As a junior faculty, I have been very fortunate to get involved as an editor of Curriculum Inquiry, which is housed at OISE and is one of the premiere curriculum studies journals in the world. Dennis Thiessen has been a tireless mentor as Editor-in-Chief and he has gone out of his way to assist me in many aspects of my career. The opportunity to meet other junior colleagues through OISE-wide events and to share resources and experiences has been invaluable for strengthening my scholarship.” ~ Rubén A. Gaztambide-Fernández, Assistant Professor Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Supporting our Community of Scholars Over the past seven years, OISE has increased the level of support that we provide to faculty who apply for major research grants and awards. For instance, faculty receive feedback and advice from established faculty and staff as they work to develop their proposal and also throughout the submission process. In addition, junior faculty receive an orientation to the grant proposal process. The Dean also began hosting luncheons to help junior faculty network with one another and learn from others’ experiences. OISE Annual Report 14
