Recently, faculty members from Kansas shared feedback on their initial reactions and feedback about Power2Teach lessons and essential conversations. She exudes: “The sequence of the content in the conversation on collegiality had a lot of meaning for faculty–and that’s no small accomplishment with a high school group. They really got into it–I’d say 100% were engaged. We scheduled this to be a 2-hour meeting, but it went for 3 hours because people were so involved. It was one of the best faculty meetings we’ve ever had.” She also notes part of what made it so beneficial was that they, “had to do higher-level thinking–we had to decide what collegiality is.” In addition to the conversations the faculty worked together on a compact for excellence: “Each group created its own compact for excellence and reported out. We then created…one compact for the whole group…we feel we ended up with a very meaningful compact for our faculty.”
