The first cohort of DEAP teams launched in Spring 2022, with Provost Conference visits from Dr. KerryAnn O’Meara, University of Maryland-College Park and Dr. Kim Case, Virginia Commonwealth University. These speakers challenged the campus, and the teams, to understand workload as a core equity issue and to implement solutions. DEAPs administered a survey to their departments to identify important workload issues.
In August 2022, teams attended a workshop with Dr. Joya Misra, University of Massachusetts- Amherst on one such solution: the faculty workload dashboard.
They worked on their dashboards in teams during the fall quarter, and attended a working session with staff from Institutional Research who helped them imagine next steps.
Once their draft dashboards are submitted, we’ll share them here. In Winter 2023, DEAPS will build on what they learned from this initial dashboard to refine their process, engage with their departments, and work towards an “equity action plan” that identifies concrete steps to improve workload.
