In this flipped professional development session, participants will be asked to watch the NCFDD’s webinar titled “How to Challenge Race and Gender Bias in Student Evaluations” before 11:00am on December 3rd.  Then, during this event, BGSU registrants will convene remotely to engage in a meaningful discussion session about the webinar, student course evaluations, and a wider collection of ways to communicate and assess teaching effectiveness.   Studies consistently show that student evaluations are biased against women faculty and faculty of color. Yet, higher education institutions continue to lean heavily on students’ evaluations of teaching for hiring and promotion decisions. This webinar is designed for faculty and administrators to better understand how student biases become transformed into institutional inequalities based on race and gender. The webinar provides administrators and faculty in leadership positions with a range of potential solutions for eliminating or minimizing the negative impacts of biased student evaluations. Recognizing that institutional change takes time, however, the webinar also provides strategies for empowering women faculty and faculty of color on how to advocate for themselves, particularly in situations where they are not being fully supported. Register for the "How to Challenge Race and Gender Bias in Student Course Evaluations" webinar and discussion offered through the Center for Faculty Excellence.
