Eib, B., & Miller, P. (2006). Faculty Development as Community Building-An approach to professional development that supports Communities of Practice for Online Teaching. The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 7(2).

Annotation: Faculty building is an ongoing effort to connect and collaborate with counterparts in our school environment. If a faculty is not connected, the school culture is jeopardized. In order for any innovation or improvement to happen, it is vital that faculty members are on a relatively similar page. Although this piece of literature focuses on University culture, the same research can be applied to elementary, middle, and secondary schooling.
