By fall 2020, 67% ofK-12 parents reported that their children’s classes had moved to an online format (De Brey,2021).

Therefore, it should be our goal as instructors to get engineering students to create a psychologically safe environment on their teams. The problem is how.Background: Previous Studies Studies in a variety of fields have shown benefits of psychological safety. For example, Sun and Huang found that psychological safety played an important role in unlocking innovative behavior among university teachers (2019). Albritton et al. showed a link between psychological safety and successful implementation of quality improvement practices in

University Campus Institutional Review Board. All students who were advised within the360 Coaching advising program during the 2021-22 academic year were invited to share theirperspectives via the survey – a subject pool of 378 students. Our initial response rate was verylow (~1.3%; 5 respondents). We are unsure if the low response rate is an artifact of the time lagbetween when students were advised in 360 Coaching (first-year – 2021-22 academic year) andwhen they are being surveyed sophomore spring – Spring 2023), or if there may be other factorsas well.
