UC Davis is conducting a mixed-methods study of changes in instructional practice and culture that have come about due to the introduction of tenure-eligible teaching faculty (Lecturers with Potential Security of Employment) across campus. The overarching goal of the study is to provide a research foundation on teaching faculty impacts in their departments and classrooms, and the factors that support, amplify, and maximize their impact.

In addition to this research project, UC Davis’s Center for Educational Effectiveness in conjunction with TRESTLE also supports teaching stream faculty in their continuing educational scholarship and course re-design and transformation.
