One thing that may help is asking people who are very vocal to limit their comments so that other people have a chance to participate in discussion as well (using this Padlet is a good way of addressing that issue!). 
It would also be good to spend at least a little time discussing pedagogical strategies and best practices.]]> 2022-09-14 21:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nweidner/jc852tfb8juw1bmu/wish/2297118718 Hearing Behind the Scenes https://padlet.com/nweidner/jc852tfb8juw1bmu/wish/2297118764 It's important to know the institutional issues that are on the horizon or of immediate necessity as it pertains to the Chair or different shared governance committees, so I can discern if I can be of any help or support to them in their work.

If we teach differently, we are "wrong," so it's not worth the fight.
