All rights reserved. @Campaign4GenCCASE STUDY FINDINGSThe field struggles with articulating their work and often uses antiquated rationale for their work.The field suffers from severe isolationism, lacking meaningful communities of practice.The field lacks mechanisms to share knowledge and effective practice, thus deals with stagnated pedagogies.Poulin, J.
