In this talk I will discuss the impacts of a faculty development residency called the Deep Teaching Residency on participants interested in their teaching approaches being more student-centered and equity based. Participants engaged in an intensive F2F experience followed by a monthly online check-in so that community of practice was available to support their implementation plans. Carefully structured questions were asked about their mindset pre-F2F, post F2F and at the end of the academic year. We report here that regardless of the point of entry on their professional journey, participants' mindsets shifted toward a more equity focused conceptualization of teaching as a practice.
