Group Discussion (5 minutes) How do you approach creating relationships with faculty members at your school? Audrey
The needs of faculty They are pulled in multiple directions - teaching, advising, committees They want to understand what they are doing and why it matters. They are not trained in pedagogy but don’t want to be “exposed” for what they don’t know. How do we inform them while empowering them? They exist in multiple cultures on campus.
Group Discussion (5 minutes) What strategies are working for you to create collaborative spaces on your campus?
After the report out, As we create these relationships and adapt to multiple cultures on our campus, we have to determine how to report out our success. It’s more than butts in seats. It’s connecting faculty members to others in different departments. It’s formal, informal, large/small moments. How do we assess what we do and report that to administration?
Group Discussion (5 minutes) How are you assessing your success and sharing it with others?
