Wicked Problems in Teaching: A Faculty Conversation Series<\/strong>
\nComplex challenges. Practical strategies. Shared inquiry.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some teaching challenges are just plain wicked \u2014 they have no single cause, no universal solution, and they show up over and over in our classes. Think: student focus, cell phones, uneven preparedness, pedagogical burnout, and everything in between.
\nThis series creates an honest, grounded space for faculty to explore these wicked problems together.<\/p>\n

SESSION FOUR: <\/strong>Student preparedness
\nWhat do we mean when we say students are \u201cunprepared\u201d? Who’s responsible for closing this gap? <\/strong>In this session, we\u2019ll unpack how preparedness is shaped by prior learning, systems, and course design, and share ways faculty are navigating varied levels of student preparedness. Together we\u2019ll explore strategies that build skills in context and explore research questions about what helps students become more ready to learn.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>Friday, April 3rd | 3:00pm-4:00pm | Fernald Hall, Room 102<\/p>\n
