For example, student feedback forms may provide insights form the learner but maynot provide a clear view of instructional quality. Similarly, peer feedback and self-reflection may not fully measure effective and

In addition,we are designing a multi-pronged feedback system that will help instructors reflect on their teaching andreceive the support they need in order to improve their teaching continuously. Our new evaluation systemwill consist of three main parts: student impressions, self-reflections, and peer observations.In the summer of 2022, our school was awarded a grant through AAU to participate in their AAU STEMDepartment Project on Teaching Evaluation.

assess and reconstruct their professional practices that influence their mindset andreform engineering education.Introduction Critical consciousness is an advanced educational pedagogy to liberate the masses fromsystemic inequity maintained and perpetuated by interdependent systems and institutions (Freire,1970; Jemal, 2017). It is often situated in the context of analyzing oppressive systemic forcesusing the cyclic process of critical reflection, critical motivation, and critical action. Critical reflection is defined as the process of individuals analyzing their reality andsocial inequities (e.g., economic, racial/ethnic, and gender inequities) that constrain well-beingand human agency.

take action(and which action) toward educational goals that matter to them. In particular, the agencyframework posits that professional capital (such as that can be developed in a group coachingsetting) can broaden an individual's awareness of possible actions to reach their goals [13].Consequently, a group coaching model was implemented to equip EIFs with the necessary toolsto lead educational change at their HSI. Coaching, often misinterpreted as other forms ofprofessional development such as mentoring or consultation, is a unique practice that avoidsadvice-giving strategies and encourages a client to seek solutions within themselves [14], [15].This coaching model was designed to encourage reflective practice, broaden their community(thereby
