Abstract
A misalignment of first-year student engagement expectations and the teaching practices of STEM faculty can undermine first-year students' engagement in effective educational practices. In this session, facilitators and participants will examine the results from 68 institutions that have participated in two large-scale national surveys to compare the engagement expectations of first-year STEM students and the teaching practices of lower-division STEM faculty. Presenters and audience will discuss what it means to align faculty teaching practices with student expectations. Session participants will be encouraged to reflect on opportunities and challenges they will likely face as they seek to improve student engagement.
