  10. ResearchTurn-AroundStrategy: 2013-2018 The “Bottom-line” to achieve a Turn-Around: • Research work and publication is core to our work and identity as intellectuals who are also professionals. • All academic staff not already with PhDs, and not within sight of retirement need to register for higher qualifications. • All academic staff with PhDs need to publish, undertake project work and supervise students. Who do we need? What do we need to do it? • We need our keen and energetic academic staff to move the Faculty to a position of key leadership in Education SA. We have such a staff already! • We have specialised high level mentoring undertaking by appointed mentors to subject groups (done: funding obtained for 2013; appointments in place). • We have Research Professors, Selected Senior Professors based in Schools working with Subject Groups/ or Subject Groupings under the leadership of Directors in Schools (done; appointments in place for 2013). • We have obtained campus financial support! Lets do it!
