Greatest Challenge by Mallory Angeli https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r What is the greatest barrier or challenge you have faced when discussing faculty effects on your campus? en-us 2023-05-18 19:26:03 UTC 2025-11-21 18:23:52 UTC hello@padlet.com 10 + 1 https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837032 Faculty have the right to choose how to grade, the syllabus, and curriculum. This makes it difficult to require faculty to change grading policies, and unequitable practices. ]]> 2023-05-19 17:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837032 Deficit Mindset https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837154 Some faculty view Hispanic and African American students as not ready for transfer level math courses. This creates issues in changing things in the classroom, and creating a more equitable environment for these student populations. ]]> 2023-05-19 17:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837154 The political implications often make this topic a "third-rail" of data analysis https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837513 2023-05-19 17:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837513 Academic rigor and right to fail philosophies https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837528 2023-05-19 17:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597837528 https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838116 Faculty accountability for student outcomes is always the hugest barrier - faculty blame K-12 for ill preparation, home life, and other factors that are outside of their perceived control. There's a lack of understanding, often about how their own pedagogical choices can mitigate some of these effects. ]]> 2023-05-19 17:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838116 Lack of understanding of how education is so stratified. mgilmore32 https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838413 2023-05-19 17:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838413 We need more data to make any conclusions or take next steps with the data already provided https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838529 2023-05-19 17:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838529 When data is negative, faculty tend to question the accuracy of it...that's usually the first reaction https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838965 2023-05-19 17:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838965 Our biggest challenge is in even getting conversations started. We have pockets of interested faculty that we're partnering with. But there is a long-standing resistance for public airing of anything at instructor level and any partnership in the 10+1 arena. https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838966 2023-05-19 17:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597838966 Assessment of ability to teach mgilmore32 https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597839171 2023-05-19 17:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597839171 Defensiveness and fear of being racist. https://padlet.com/malloryangeli/3jgkrrtk9hksyj9r/wish/2597839520 This shifts to blaming students, their family life and circumstances, and stonewalling
