Equity Gaps in Higher Education: Practicing High Belief

Many instructors – perhaps even most – believe that all students can succeed. How do we demonstrate our belief in students? Are there times or circumstances when we don't? If there are such times or circumstances, what could we do differently?

UWL's Strategic Plan commits us to trying to convince students that learning is possible, even those who've absorbed the idea that they "just aren't good" at some important skill. That message means most to students when it's obvious that their instructor believes it, and believes it about every student in the room. In this session, we will examine research on highly successful single-population institutions indicating that student success requires high belief, along with high challenge and high support. We will then consider how and where we can apply their assumption of high belief to our own practices, beginning with our syllabi. Instructors should bring a copy of a course syllabus with them to this session.
