45. What Are the Effects? • Pressure to compromise classroom autonomy • Resistance, leading to isolation • Blaming students • Judging colleagues • Leadership crisis

46. Is it happening at KCC? • Culture of high expectations • Tension between departments around resources • Insufficient support for faculty

47. How can a shift in campus culture help? • implementing learning-centered pedagogies is not easy • there is no such thing as a master teacher • mistakes should be celebrated as opportunities for learning • leadership is not about a title • life balance should be honored • all “levels” and all approaches deserve support • everyone has something to offer • open conversations about classroom practices should be nurtured
