Poll 1: Educator Readiness

I think that...

• All dispositions are difficult to teach

• Most dispositions are difficult to teach with a few exceptions

• Most dispositions are easy to teach with a few exceptions

• All dispositions are easy to teach

I think that ...

• Some students innately have certain dispositions while others need to work on them to be ready for the workforce

• Students are typically at different levels of proficiency in a given disposition and can work on developing them further.

• Students do not possess dispositions when they come into the program and need to be taught dispositions to be ready for the workforce.

• Students may demonstrate a disposition in another context but need to be taught to show them in professional contexts.

I think that...

• 1. I have the required knowledge and skills to teach dispositions

• I have the required knowledge and skills to teach some dispositions but not all

• 1. I do not need any specific knowledge or skill to teach dispositions; I can do it intuitively

• 1. I do not have the required knowledge and skills and need support if I have to teach dispositions

I think that...

• I know how to teach dispositions and I already teach some of them in my courses

• I know how to teach dispositions but I do not yet teach them in my courses

• I do not know how to teach dispositions but I have been implicitly incorporating some of them in my courses through my teaching experience

• 1. I do not know how to teach dispositions and I do not teach them in my courses

I think that ...

• I know how to assess dispositions and I already assess some of them in my courses

• 1. I know how to assess dispositions but I do not yet assess them in my courses

• 1. I do not know how to assess dispositions but I have been implicitly incorporating some assessments of dispositions in my courses

• 1. I do not know how to assess dispositions and I do not assess them in my courses 

I think that dispositions should be...

• 1. taught in separate courses like ‘Gen Ed’ ;not integrated into core technical courses 

• taught in both separate courses like ‘Gen Ed’ and also integrated into some technical courses

• 1. integrated into all the core courses in the program curriculum

• integrated only in senior level capstone courses in the program

Pick all that apply. I think that...

• It is difficult to teach dispositions in my courses because of my large class size

• It is difficult to teach dispositions in my courses because of lack of support from department head, administration, or program structure

• It is difficult to teach dispositions in my courses because students resist and pushback such type of learning content

• It is difficult to teach dispositions in my courses because of lack resources and pedagogical support

• It is NOT difficult to teach dispositions in my courses

I think that...

• Our curriculum is already compressed and there is no room to squeeze in dispositions

• Our curriculum is already compressed but some topics could be shortened/removed to accommodate dispositions

• There is enough room in our curriculum to accommodate dispositions

• I do not believe that dispositions should be explicitly added to the curriculum
