Notes from Sabbatical Workshop

Regarding #4...what are the reasons why I need this sabbatical now?

1. Tied up with teaching committee work...need this time to get re-engaged with my research (discuss the number of primary documents I've collected and the amount of attention I need to focus on these artifacts)

2. Have I been "scooped"--write about how there are other researchers looking into the history of hte writing programs at UNH...cindy gannett. I want to get my work out before she does...

3. Is there a reason why I need this sabbatical at this time--something urgent that will be happening during the time I am asking for "off"

Regarding #1 "Quality of the Proposal": Set my work in context, convince them that it is a worthy project, and then put forward my plan for sabbatical...in 3-5 (double-spaced) pages. Make sure the amount of work I propose is reasonable to accomplish in the time I am asking for. Timeline might be useful (month-by-month).
