2-28-25 English Faculty Professional Development

The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) held an English Faculty Professional Development session on February 28, 2025, focused on co-requisite education and supporting students in English courses. The session emphasized non-cognitive factors affecting student success, such as emotional stress, financial issues, and mental health challenges. Faculty shared strategies for fostering student engagement, building trust, and connecting students with campus resources like tutoring, counseling, and financial aid. While the meeting was rich in pedagogical discussion and student support approaches, there were no procurement-related topics such as contracts, vendor selections, or budget allocations discussed.
