I was glad the text touched on ‘not giving up on students’. So many times I hear faculty say,, ‘Oh, you know they try to get away with doing so as little as they can.’ OR ‘Well, so many are just low achievers.’ My blood boils when our faculty speak poorly of our students. They are our students.
When I find myself in this position, I just have to then speak to curricular and pedagogical approaches that might work in the classroom [if the faculty is willing to try] and hope for the best and make a note to circle back with these faculty and keep trying.
