Inclusive practices are not well implemented across the college and it is difficult to know where to seek support. 
Staff morale is high amongst some, but others who are slammed with classes, duties, and curriculum planning feel that there is inequality in the distribution of duties, which directly impacts morale. If we want to improve curriculum and assessment, perhaps we should have curriculum planners in each discipline and they should be given time to do this difficult task. ]]> 2022-01-19 02:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/shawk81/oj4opt0ws1c94vet/wish/1999367082
