What are the metrics that can be assessed to determine if the team has reached its goal(s)?  Consequences: what happens if a team member does not follow the groundrules or meet the expectations described in the team charter? What types of interventions or warnings are given, and under what circumstances is a member released from the team?Developing a team charter

In this section, we will show how the primaryskill sets from Arreola et al.'s "Meta-Profession" project [12] are orthogonal to and illustratesome of the available sources of faculty mentoring and faculty development programs across themultiple hats faculty wear. Part of our choice of the Meta-Profession project is rooted in itsorigins: the concept grew out of the need to define the role of teaching in a comprehensivefaculty evaluation program [13]. As such, the skills sets described below are formed for use asmentoring/development prompts, a part of faculty evaluation, and a means to supporting

activities was toengage the students in active, rather than passive learning (Romkey & Cheng, 2009;Viswanathan & Radhakrishnan, 2015). I generally served as facilitator, rather than a deliberateguide in these discussions, making sure students felt comfortable and had a chance to have theiropinions heard, but not explicitly directing the discussion (Jacquez et al., 2007).Along with the in-class SGMA materials, each weekly homework assignment included a SGMA-specific question, as did the midterm(s) and final exams. As shown in Table 2, these individualassignments also progressed through the Bloom’s Taxonomy hierarchy. They were generallymore open-ended than the typical homework problems (Jacquez et al., 2007) and incorporateduncertainties or

student facing credible accusation(s) ofacademic misconduct to plead ignorance.The Academic Honesty Quiz in this example incentivizes students to study the policies so theycan answer the questions. They cannot advance to further course content without scoring a100% on the quiz, but they can repeat the quiz an unlimited number of times. The quiz is both alearning motivation and provides an opportunity to start the course with an easily obtained highscore that counts towards the course grade. Many instructors use syllabi quizzes to ensurestudents are familiar with other administrative details about the course, so creating a quiz with afocus on academic honesty is an educational tool that doesn’t require extensive time to set up

of student work that illustrate grader misuse of rubrics and issues withreporting numbers.In each of Figure 4’s three examples, the student failed to acknowledge that the 9g and 30gpredictions fell outside the range of the original data. According to the rubric, this shouldautomatically drop all three students to no higher than “underachieved,” as one of the two piecesof evidence for achievement is not demonstrated. However, we can see that for students A and B,the graders assigned marks of “partially achieved” and “fully achieved.” This immediatelyindicates that the grader is either not using the rubric, does not understand the rubric, or does notcare to follow the rubric and reasonably indicates insufficient oversight (given that this

Or, the author may not have the necessary background orsufficient time to make involved changes suggested by a reviewer.Good feedback provides the amount of information that the author can use, rather thanthe amount that the reviewer would like to give.

“professional knowledge” as a type ofknowledge arising from engagement in reflection activities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s(2008) notion of accountable disciplinary knowledge. In other words, reflection activities canhelp students gain or advance their knowledge in relation to course learning objectives,knowledge and skills required for accreditation, etc. In talking with students to explore whetherthe reflection activity did result in professional knowledge, we might be interested in statementsfrom students such as: “I learned something relevant to the course objectives,” “I learnedsomething relevant to my degree,” and “I learned something related to getting a universitydegree.”Factor 2: Personal knowledgeReflection activities have the

experience of new faculty can be leveraged to build a strongerconnection among students, classroom material, and professional skills requirements. A broadnetwork often built with industry experience can assist the new faculty member in supportingstudents in their job search, bringing guest speakers into class, and building student designprojects around real projects from industry partners. Teaching focused institutions in particularwill reap the benefits of hiring faculty with industry experience, and opportunities exist toimprove recruitment and orientation methods to assist new faculty with the transition.ReferencesAdams, Robin S., and Richard M.
