  • Nov 1 & 2, 2017

Come view a recording of an online seminar "Student Entitlement: Truth, Fiction, or Some of Both?" presented by Maryellen Weimer, PhD. You’ll learn about the roots of this behavior, as well as strategies for not only decreasing, but also preventing the potency of entitled students.

BENEFITS

The topic of academic entitlement is more relevant than ever before. It’s a serious, wide-ranging issue and there are few resources available for instructors to consult in dealing with it. That ends now! In this seminar, you’ll discover how to:

  • Properly handle students who expect grades they don’t deserve or demand unnecessary special accommodations
  • Create a classroom environment that discourages entitled behavior and fosters lifelong learning
  • Quickly identify and end disruptive, entitled behavior
  • Understand the market forces that have created this attitude from the students’ perspective and help them shift their perspective to become more open to learning

In signature work, a student uses his or her cumulative learning to pursue a significant project related to a problem he or she defines with support and guidance from faculty and mentors. While many institutions highlight signature work in capstone projects, focused curriculum review by a number of institutions has shown that for students to be successful in capstone opportunities, they need opportunities to develop and practice the skills and knowledge they have acquired. 

In this webinar, administrative and faculty leaders from three institutions will share models and insights into the process their institutions took to integrate signature work opportunities into the curriculum.

Get strategies you can use to recruit, hire, and sustain a more diverse team of academic faculty and staff. Listen as Dr. Mathew Ouellett explains the role that implicit bias can play at each stage of the search process. You'll learn about results from the latest research on implicit bias and get proven strategies you can use to anticipate and reduce its effects on the three key stages of the search process: recruiting, hiring, and managing. Even with the best of intentions, implicit bias in your recruiting and hiring process can reduce your school's chances of creating and sustaining the diverse team you're trying to achieve. Implicit bias refers to subtle cognitive processes that can happen so fast that they often operate below conscious awareness. But they can still affect the actions you take and the decisions you make. Recent research helps us better understand the role that implicit bias can play in the faculty recruitment process and in hiring decisions. Because we're all vulnerable to implicit bias, knowing what it is, how it can influence your decisions, and the practical strategies you can use to reduce its impact are key to increasing your chances of hiring and retaining a more culturally diverse faculty for your school. This is something that recent studies have also shown can provide significant benefits to your students. 

Facilitator: Tom Pentecost, Chemistry and Pew FTLC
