Wicked Problems in Teaching: A Faculty Conversation Series
Complex challenges. Practical strategies. Shared inquiry.
Some teaching challenges are just plain wicked — they have no single cause, no universal solution, and they show up over and over in our classes. Think: student focus, cell phones, uneven preparedness, pedagogical burnout, and everything in between.
This series creates an honest, grounded space for faculty to explore these wicked problems together.

SESSION FOUR: Student preparedness
What do we mean when we say students are “unprepared”? Who’s responsible for closing this gap? In this session, we’ll unpack how preparedness is shaped by prior learning, systems, and course design, and share ways faculty are navigating varied levels of student preparedness. Together we’ll explore strategies that build skills in context and explore research questions about what helps students become more ready to learn.
Friday, April 3rd | 3:00pm-4:30pm | Fernald Hall, Room 102
