Final Synthesis Paper
There are two major goals for this assignment:synthesize the big ideas from the courseconstruct an argument (supported by evidence) to put forth a position pretend that you are on an advisory board for a group of educational researchers committed to community-engaged scholarship and practice. Your task is to describe your working definition of effective community-engaged scholarship & practice [CEP], including ways to achieve this goal. You should also specify how you will know when you have been successful. Your paper should 1015pages. As you put forth a position on effective community-engaged research and practice, be sure to explicitly link it to the literature. Most of the literature should come from this class but you may also draw from articles you have read elsewhere. (Be sure to include both class and outside references in a reference list.)I expect that each persons paper will have a different emphasis. In other words, you do not need to touch on every issue addressed in the course. Instead, think deeply across all the issues and focus on the parts that help you further your own research agendas and identities as a community-engaged scholar
