are working to find better ways to evaluation teaching. Peerevaluation of teaching is used by many institutions; however, these evaluations commonly lacksubstance. Teaching portfolios are also commonly used as a tool for teacher reflection leading toefforts of improvement. Yet concerns persist about the nature and effectiveness of teachingevaluation.Over the past five years, Brigham Young University has developed a process built on the conceptthat peer review can be an effective tool for the evaluation of teaching just like it is for theevaluation of scholarship. In this process, the faculty member is responsible to providesubstantive evidence of the effectiveness of their teaching efforts in a teaching portfolio. Peerreviewers then evaluate

reflection is the idea that communities ofpractice tend to form more often in a workplace environment than in formal school education [5].Many of the members of our group are faculty with significant teaching loads, who practice amore traditional kind of knowledge transfer within our classes each week. When it is then ourown turn to seek out new knowledge, we instead choose an informal, collaborativecommunication format. While it is outside of the scope of this paper, there is a fair amount tounpack about how, as older adults, we balance companionship as an equally important valuealong with knowledge gain. It is possible that more reflection is needed on the needs of ourstudents, and the potential exists to incorporate more companionship components

by focusingon empathy and listening, exploring audience needs in a way that leads to sharply definedproblem statements. Through a process of divergent and convergent thinking, participants areasked to first generate lots of ideas and reflect on them with a group of peers, then narrow whatthey will write, say, or show, using quick sharing tools like storyboards or flow outlines andtesting both their messages and strategy. Then they give and receive critical feedback in realtime, allowing them to refine their approach and iterate through the process again until ready. Wefocus on practice for our trainees, emphasizing simple, memorable tools – the Elements – thatcan be applied at a variety of scales. A great illustration of this is a

As part of this research, we examined best practices for preventing bias inresponses from students. We note that none of OUs peer and aspirant schools are using paper-and-pencil SET data collection processes.

Fromthe student perspective, mentees experience a sense of belonging, productive goal setting,feelings of accomplishment, and emotional support (AuCoin & Wright, 2021, pp. 610-611).Moreover, participants in one study reflected that faculty mentoring was “more helpful thanother interventions” serving as a “crucial opportunity to learn about science, scientists, andscientific process…” (Ceyhan et al., 2019, p. 258). Chelberg and Bosman (2019) found facultymentorship to be especially impactful to underrepresented STEM students as it aided in their“development, retention, persistence, and navigation of the postsecondary setting” (p. 45).Zeller’s et al.

subjects were asked to reflect on the approaches to leadership used by others (such asdepartment head, dean, etc.) in their departments and university. The focus of the first set ofquestions was on the subject’s understanding of the concept of leadership both in theory and inpractice. In addition to questions about leadership, we asked a series of questions aboutchange-making processes, such as the process they used themselves, their assessment ofanother’s person’s skills as an agent of change, the process for change making in theirdepartment, and the relationship between formal authority and the process of change. This lastquestion was intended to understand the individual’s views of the importance of formalauthority in making change. The

at least one “micromoment activity” in their courses. To support faculty in theseactivities, we created a set of 25 micromoment activities [16] that faculty could use immediatelyand easily adapt to the content at hand. Not only would these activities help faculty to be moreconfident in their teaching, but they would support pedagogical change and encourage morefrequent implementations. Students would also have more opportunities for engaging in learningexperiences to develop an entrepreneurial mindset [16].After implementing each micromoment activity, faculty completed a reflection and submitted toan online forum on Engineering Unleashed [17] to discuss the activity, how it went, and howthey can improve. They were also asked how they felt

Theoretical Framework: Intercultural communication competenceICC is a crucial skill that researchers have been exploring for the last two decades. A review ofthe literature reveals a multitude of definitions of ICC [14]. This variability in the content ofICC models and dimensions presents several challenges. For this reason, Griffith and others[14] propose a framework and operational definition to serve as the basis for the developmentof the concept of ICC in higher education research. This operational definition is based onprior research and states that ICC “reflects a person’s capability to gather, interpret, and actupon these radically different cues to function

As a part of the session, the participants were asked to reflect and respond to two questions: 1) As an instructor, what is a teaching strategy or practice that you use to create a more inclusive and equitable classroom (i.e., to help students feel like they belong and are supported)? 2) As a student, what is a teaching strategy or practice that you wish your instructors used to create a better

Within the scope of this study, “teaching belief” is understood as the ingrainedconvictions held by educators about their pedagogical duties, student engagements,curricular substance, and the comprehensive process of instruction, which ultimatelydirect their didactic ideologies and methodologies.

First, a mindmap is simply a way to organize ideas, concepts, techniques, etc. It should not be considered aone-size-fits-all final objective document. It should be considered a living document wherein thecontents can be expanded, techniques can be moved to other levels or removed altogether, etc.For example, there are no set rules on the amount of time spent on a Rank Order and how deepof a learning impact it may have on the students.

Several faculty reported that officialletters were often generic and positive (“Keep up the good work!”), and under-reflected whatwould be needed for tenure and promotion. R10 speculated that committees try to be positive intheir official letters because the letters stay in the candidate’s record, and are included in theirP&T dossier.A female non-STEM faculty member received a positive official letter from her committee, butwas also told in a side conversation with faculty from her department that changes were needed.In her words: “The official letter is really positive and praiseworthy, and the summary is
