  3. FLASHPOINT?

  4. Activity #1 • Find a partner. • Share an experience you have had with this flashpoint.

  5. Grading Statistics from Edmonds Community College Chemistry

  6. Interview with Mary Obrien • Chemistry department head, EdCC • Taught chemistry in community college (EdCC) for 30+ years • The only job she has ever had

  7. Results • Mary did not view this flashpoint as a challenge per se, but viewed it more as a part of doing business as a teacher • She feels that this situation is common to all classes and all teachers • Mary believes that this flashpoint is caused by human nature and competition for competitive professional programs • Perhaps the most significant response was to how to deal with this flashpoint, especially in front of other students • Explicitly explain grading practices • Insure students know what is expected of them • Repeat throughout the quarter

  8. Results • Never discuss a students grade in front of other students • Insure that students are prepared for the class (pre-requisites) • Provide written solutions to exams, quizzes, and assignments • She does not give second chances to improve grades. She feels that students have had ample opportunity to practice and giving a second chance sends the wrong message • Mary has never used a pass/fail grading system • She does not think there is any difference in which students are likely to complain about grades • Mary believes that grades can promote learning. In fact, if learning hasn’t taken place by the time a final grade is given then we do have a problem!

  9. Garcia & Hoelschersay…. “The way in which we address these difficult interpersonal situations [diversity flashpoints] can lead to outcomes that range from pain and suffering to more positive feelings of self-worth and enhanced learning.” “Successfully managing a flashpoint situation requires knowledge, skill, and compassion.”
