The Block Working Group is a collection of faculty who have a common interest in engaging in discovery activities related to Purdue's Elementary Education Block Program.  BWG is an informal group that will attempt to set an agenda for discovery efforts   relative to the Blocks, coordinate these discovery efforts, and perhaps seek support for faculty (as well as graduate student) efforts to study the Blocks, our candidates and the teachers and students who participate in our Blocks.  While the BWG currently consists of Block faculty, we encourage any and all interested faculty and graduate students to join our efforts.
