-==== Topic: Subtle Cues in W&L Culture ==== 
- 
-There are cues in W&L culture that help suppress women's leadership.  How can we address them in our courses? 
- 
-=== Use of the term "women" than "girls" === 
- 
-  * "guys" seems to be the male alternative that doesn't have an age implied 
-  * reluctance to use the term "women" to describe themselves 
-  * first-year vs freshman -- faculty say freshman and then correct themselves 
-  * message from the faculty 
-    * "How old are you?" -- you're a woman 
-    * Get students to think about 
-    * competence -- more competence with women 
-    * girl is damaging in a work environment 
-    * not so much in a social environment 
-    * but school is your work 
-      * work-appropriate language 
-    * correct every time 
-  * alternative names "peer", "colleague" 
-  * individual conversations with students to correct them 
-  * group of "girls" has a social comfort to it 
-  * active thinking while you're talking 
-    * more general approach to how to talk in the real world--insurance of success 
-  * sound smarter and competent--not like babies 
-  * How much do you intervene when you overhear these conversations? 
- 
-General anti-feminism culture 
-  * hesitation to use the word "women" in the name of a women's student leadership group

 ===== Teamwork Notes from 11/6 ===== ===== Teamwork Notes from 11/6 =====
- 
-**Action Item:** Bring Lynny back in the winter term 
- 
-==== Team Assessments ==== 
- 
-  * work as motivation to step up 
-  * intermediate deadlines for evaluations 
-  * Lynny's teamwork evaluation: 
-    * rank order for contributions 
-    * how well prepared -- 5-pt scale 
-    * how much contributed 
-    * how cooperative  
- 
-==== Handling Challenges in Team ==== 
- 
-  * learning how to navigate difficult team decisions 
-  * how much should I (as faculty) intervene? 
- 
-  * why do people contribute? 
-  * when things are uncertain and we don't know who can contribute best to the group goal, we rely on some social status characteristic, not necessarily who is the most competent 
-    * no relationship between dominance and competence 
-    * status is a way of coordinating people's actions -- don't speak up because this is the way we're organizing the group 
-    * how do you break the typical social status organization? 
-      * competence is higher than status 
-      * every part is important but different 
-      * can't necessarily assign a leader with adults 
-      * valuing different types, culture 
-        * bring people in 
- 
-Issue from student: "I had to take over everything" 
-  * Help student to let it go 
-  * Alternative: bring bossy kids together 
- 
-==== Organization of Work ==== 
- 
-  * working on different parts is harder to coordinate 
-  * **jigsaw method** 
-    * break up students into teams 
-    * each assigned a role within that team 
-    * all in that role talk together 
-  * rotating jobs? is that possible? 
-  * easier to manipulate first-year students 
- 
-==== How Lower-Status Can Gain Leadership/Support ==== 
- 
-  * Frame suggestions so that they are listened to 
-    * show you are willing to sacrifice for the group: 
-      * "I think it's going to be better for the group ..." 
-      * "Is the best solution for the group?" 
- 
-  * give off aura of leadership 
-  * Give lower-status person more responsibility 
-    * assign extra questions 
-    * research this extra thing 
-    * shows that they have extra competence 
-    * they have this knowledge -- go listen to them -- stack in their favor 
-    * could be from a previous course 
-    * from office hours help session -- experts for the problem, for that moment 
- 
-==== General Tips ==== 
- 
-  * attempt to get every person to say something the first day of class 
-    * if they don't say something the first day of the class they are unlikely to say something the rest of the class) 
-  * allow "pass" answers to cold-called questions 
-  * pass the marker to students 
-  * encorporate group rewards, individual rewards, combination 
-  * tell anecdotes about your own good and bad team experiences 
-    * tell them about how not working together fails 
-    * Lynny's story: didn't trust the "lower" team members and failed 
-    * put in an effort 
-  * frame the teamwork 
-    * how this is good for their own success, resume, ...
