1. Shame is an ineffective pedagogical tool. You cannot shame people into being more equitable or caring about equity.

2. Building large networks of folks who do this work (at conferences and through reading their work) can help to support the work that you are doing and help you adjust that work to your unique environment (politically, demographically, etc.). Spending time on building relationships and coalitions is crucial.

4. It is important to not only showcase the work you are doing [to those] outside of your institution, you should showcase internally as well. There may be folks internally who are interested in supporting, amplifying or replicating the work you are doing. Internal sharing can (and should) also create a space for faculty or staff interested in this work to get campus-level recognition for their support, leadership and time.

5. Smart equity-centered assessment champions will find a way to infuse assessment with equity while not adding an additional strain on faculty or supporting staff. This feat requires sound project alignment and project management."
