University faculty members are usually immersed in various tasks related to teaching, research, committees, and office hours. As a result, they rarely have time to explore the practices of their colleagues or seek advice on their own, which leads them to work in isolation. This isolation can hinder their professional development and growth, especially if they do not take the time to reflect on their own teaching methods and practices.

On top of the light fixture were ugly spikes, fixed there to prevent birds from landing on it. As far as I could tell, it worked. Nearby trees were populated with urban birds, but they left this particular street lamp alone, even as just down the block an un-spiked light was home to a crow's nest for at least one mating season.
