Crucially, participants in CoP engage together within the context of an authenticlearning experience. Such context effectively encourages deep learning and changes in teaching-related practices, as well as identifying factors that impact CoP effectiveness (includingtemporal, personal, organizational, and environmental considerations) [12].Growth-Oriented Mindset in Faculty and Impact on their Students in STEMEmbracing a growth

Specifically forSOLID principles, we developed two questions each for the Single Responsibility Principle (S),Open Closed Principle (O), Liskov Substitution principle (L), Interface Segregation Principle (I)and Dependency Inversion Principle (D).We ensured that each question had one single correct answer, but that the questions encouragedstudents to think beyond obvious answer choices. We also ensured that the PI questions spurredstudents to discuss possible answer choices by making distractors realistic. Our goal was toformulate questions that required students to engage at the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy,where they synthesize and analyze allied concepts to answer the given question, and not simplyrecall from memory [29

Students learn about the learning theories, but also carry outactivities and participate in case studies to actively examine their own learning and biases.Because sense of belonging to a greater community is such a strong component of studentidentity (“I am an engineer”) and success, the course focuses not just on learning andassessment of learning, but also has a greater context of societal factors that impact a student’sability to learn and persist. Therefore topics such as gender bias [22] and stereotype threat [23]are important component of course content. Because these topics
